    This seems like a good goal. I just started using mfp and a fitbit (yesterday), so I should be able to track my mileage pretty well.

    For some reason I can't figure out how to add pictures. Sad that I only have one picture with my now 2-year old daughter that I adopted from foster care. I've had her since she was 3 days old. Shame is ugly. No more shame. As long as I'm working hard, I will embrace who I am today.

    Day One on MFP, 286, down from 299.8 on June 15

    Day 15 on MFP, 275, down 11 since joining MFP (14 days)

    Awesome! Keep going everyone. I was finally able to walk tonight after recovering from a bad knee - only did a mile but better to start slow than get sidelined again by injury. I have a plan to still fit in my 50. It's so inspiring to see how much everyone is walking, and that you are all approaching it with such fun attitudes.

    Keep up the great work!

    I'm in. I figure if I have someone to check in with, maybe I can get off my butt & do this! I do wear a peometer, and I'm still only on the walking side - maybe I can move up to jogging by the end of the month. But I'm in - its defenitely worth a shot!

    Hi Folks - so excited to see how everyone is racking up the miles! I will be walking each day, eating healthy, and trying to post and check in; however I may be MIA from this message board for a few days as I am moving Saturday and interviewing for jobs. Won't have much time to be on MFP.

    Keep up the great work!

    I am in! I go to jazzercise 3 to 4 days a week and I am now adding treadmill time. This challenge should help. How do I log my miles?

    What I see most people doing is editing their own post each day with new miles. I was hoping to do a spreadsheet on Google docs, but honestly don't think I'll have time to maintain it. Hope that helps - probably should have thought it out further ahead of time but I decided to just get the idea out there. I plan to maintain one of my posts.

    hi, I am a little late with this challenge also. I would like to join in. Maybe this will be the accountability I need to get me motivated to exercise daily. Instead of walking I will be doing a bike. I just need to exercise!!! I will set my goal to 30 min. 3-4 times a week. Then increase time and days to be at 1 hour by the end of september. I don't have a counter that works on my bike, so I will not be able to keep track of the mileage.
