Thanks for the show of interest! Our first official weigh in will be tomorrow but even if you miss that it doesn't mean you can't just jump in! We all work at our own paces. I will keep a running chart of measurements and miles walked. If you go two weigh ins with out posting a reason for your delay you will be dropped just to keep things manageable.
If you have any questions just let me know!

I think this is a grat idea!
I am Jami and my goal is to lose 70 pounds. I was running, but it got too difficult after my achilles' tendon injury. Walking is easier for me, and better for my heart!0 -
Sweet! I love hiking in nature when I get a chance. When I don't, about 1/3 of my calories burned are still from walking around my city. I've hiked small bits of the Appalachian Trail and would love to one day hike the entire Israel Trail (Israel's equivalent of the AT).
As for weight goals, I started at or above 155 and wanted to get down to 135. I've broken the 140 mark and am reconsidering my final goal since clothes that used to be tight at 135 are fitting already. I'll probably switch to using measurements instead of scale weight.0 -

Great! I Understand! I broke my back years ago and being a top heavy lady and running is tough to make happen. I love to walk, and the great thing about this is - walking can be planned time or miles, or with a pedometer from through out your day! I'm so glad to see others interested!Sweet!

What a wonderful goal! I've hiked two mountains in the smokey mountain range and it was a breath taking adventure. I hope to get back into the woods when the weather warms up. ( Yes I am a wuss its in the 40s and i'm done with nature for a month or two lol)
You've done a great job losing weight and I am so glad you are joining us on our "hike!"0 -

Why you want to join: Why not? I used to walk the AT in Georgia and North Carolina and I don't live that far from it in VA. It would be great to get in good enough trim to finish hiking the entire trail. I was camping at Baxter State Park this summer and it is very pretty there.0 -

That is awesome; We climbed chimey rock and crowders mtn, in NC this year and hope to get to a lot more mountains in the coming spring :-)0 -
Hiking in NC is wonderful, I have some very fond memories of that area.0
