    I am challenging myself to walk at least an hour each day this week. I walked this morning, so day one down. Maybe it would help if others set goals for themselves too...maybe 20 minutes a day or 90 minutes for some. Good luck everyone.:smile:

    Walking outside is more fun that walking inside the house. Even if it is colder now.
    Try to set some goals and stick with it.

    For example I've decided to walk to work this week instead of driving. It is about 2 miles each way. Not much for some but a few weeks ago the only waling I was doing was from home to car and car to office :).

    So, set some goals that you think you can achieve and stick with it for a few weeks.
    Don't give up if your weight scale doesn't move... or better, don't weight for 1 month
