Fitbit One - 1000 mile badge!

I got an email this morning from Fitbit, contgratulating me on my first 1000 miles. To some this is no big deal, to me it is huge!

I will be 62 in September. I have been on MFP for 16 months. I got my fitbit in February. I have passed a lot of milestones in the past 16 months, but this one is the one I am proudest of. I did not begin to exercise until October 2012, 7 months into my commitment to get myself healthier. Through the encouragement of my daughter and one of my wonderful MFP friends. I began to walk. It was hard at first. Short walks of 15-20 minutes. My knees rebelled at all the excess weight that they had to endure for years. My knees are so much better now! I walked 2 hours, up and down hills in our woods, and could have gone longer. Enough hills that makes it equivalent to climbing 100 staircases recorded by my fitbit. On a hot, humid, July day! Me! If I can do it, most anyone can!
