My name is Maritsa and i'm from Greece. Living in Athens. I'm teaching greek language and at this time i'm giving private lessons to kids. I'm also a postgraduate student in Greek literature and linguistics. I love my job and i wish i could work more. I couldn't stay any more inside home in front of a computer screen so i decided to get outside. I started walking everyday but i need some companions or competitive people who really want to take this challenge with me. I know that it's impossible to run or walk outside every day but we can use our steps or our stationary bikes in order to count our measurements. This month we have a 60 mile challenge. It doesn't matter if we are finish the line of 60 it will matter really if we at least try. I'm a person who gets bored very easily but really i get the interest when i'm competing. I want to lose over a 100 pounds but i know i can't do it all by myself! Beside the challenge i really want us to have fun and share our moments. We can discuss things, problems and our ups and downs! This will be our meeting point! Thanks all in advance those who will share this idea!

I really enjoy walking and I do quite a bit of it. In the evenings I try to walk 4 miles at least 5 times a week. It gives me time to reflect on human behavior or rocket science or wherever my mind drifts off to. Athens is a beautiful city, though it has been many years since I was there. I look forward to the walk .0

I'm in! I love this challenge. I try for the treadmill daily and I try for a walk on my lunch hour about 3 days a week. It will be good to track it.0

I used go for a walk every lunch break and do all my business telephone calls this way. I lost touch with doing this over the past two years. I work on the edge of the south downs national Park, so I'm looking forward to picking up this challenge.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Lisa, I am in NE Oregon. I need this challenge! I walked about 5 miles everyday in the summer, but, since the weather turned cold it is real hard for me to walk outside. I bought myself an used treadmill, hopefully this challenge will motivate me to get on it and walk. Let's do this!
Take care,
Lisa0 -

Hello everyone,
My name is Christine from Austin Texas. I have been walking lately at home with a workout video. I am up to 4 miles so I will do my best to meet our goal.
I am very excited to continue my weight loss journey with this new group. I am hoping to lose an additional 40-50 pounds by next March, planning a trip to the beach in Florida to visit a friend. I do need the challenges to help motivate myself because it is so hard for me to do this alone.
Good luck to everyone and here's to making it 60 miles!!0 -
HI,
I am looking for groups to help me stay motivated to keep trying to eat healthier and exercise routinely.
I use to run often, but recently have not been. So this I hope will help me get back out there and jogging again.
I enjoy doing a short 5km run, which I can do within 30 mins so its not time consuming. I would like to get out for longer runs.
I will be starting tomorrow with weigh-in and measurements. Since the start of this year I have shed about 25lbs. I am still looking to shed about 10-15 more lbs (of fat). I am fine with my weight right now but I would like to build muscles and get stronger.
Good luck to everyone and have fun.

I kept forgetting to introduce myself. My name is Jennie. I'm always trying to find things to make me move more. I'm currently doing a 50 mile one, but wanted to continue on to more. I've always been really bad with exercise and I'm really trying to change that. I'm struggling with losing weight, so I'm probably going to have to change my eating habits too. Thank you so much for this challenge, I really need it!
