    I saw this the other day and I have convinced a few of my co-workers, friends and family to do this with me. So, now I'll report on here, so I'm not only responsible to them, but to all of you too!

    I'm having everyone in my challenge report in once a week, so I'll either be on that schedule or a more often. We started November 1. I did 2.5 miles this morning!

    I think this is great to get in my exercise throughout the holiday season! Thanks for the idea!! :flowerforyou:

    Lol, I got really excited about this because I used to live in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania - and there's a small town next door called Nazareth. So I thought it was like a half marathon or something ;)

    I live near Bethlehem, PA - a race from there to Nazareth is a great idea :-)

    Hey all,

    I am new to the boards, I have been logging my food and exercise on the site for about 3 months. I belonged to biggest loser club prior and would love to join your challenge. Please count me in! What are the particulars? Just updating our mileage?

    I had just made a exercise ticker with a goal of 100 miles by Christmas so this fits perfectly!

    Thanks!!

    WOW it is great to see all the people getting in their mileage by joining this group!!!!
    It was another beautiful day so I took my 3 furry kids and we ran 6.5 miles!! I now have 80.5 miles to go!!! Hope the weather stays nice so I can continue to run outside in the fresh air instead of inside on the"dreadmill"!!!

    I'd love to join the challenge as well. This is such a great idea. I rode the bike for 3 miles and walked for 1 mile today for a total of 4 miles today. Tommorrow is a swim day. Hope swimming counts!

    Yikes .. maybe the accountability will make me train for that January half. So, I'm starting as of November 01 and my goals are N to B running by Christmas, and weekly by bike.
    Running Nov 1: 5.5k, Nov 02: 10k is 15.5km, 151.5 to go.
    Cycling Nov 01 was 40, Nov 02: 6k (UPHILL!!!!!!!) 111 to go this week.

    This sounds like a fantastic idea! I may have to join you on horseback or power walking though :)

    Those tickers are soooo cool! I am computer dense but am wondering HOW you make them??

    Today was a gym day while waiting to get new tires put on my car. I had a "chatter" by me while on the elliptical and when I last looked it was 3miles. I will go with that although it was a little more and then I lifted weight and did ab work for another 35 minutes! A good overall workout!! I have 77.5 miles to gooooooo!!!!!

    To add an exercise ticker:
    (just figured this one out myself):

    Go to www.tickerfactory.com , click on fitness/exercise tickers and follow the directions. Then, copy and paste the code from the site into your signature. To add more miles, simply return to the site and press the "add" button next to the accumulated value.

    I am obviously doing something wrong! I got to where the box's where we copy/paste the code but I am getting the http/url writing and NOT my ticker that I had made! What now? I am a duh, sorry!!!
