    I read how many miles people are going to walk this month and I dont know how. I have lost 80 pounds in the last few yrs. but I do not work out, I feel like I have lost all my muscle and I want to get some back but I can only do I mile a day. So I guess that is where I will start at so that is only about 20 miles a month, maybe I need a trainer. WHY AM I SO WEAK and lazy? I am angry at myself.

    Goal for January: 112 miles
    To date: 5 miles
    Left: 107 miles

    This month:
    I'm doing Leslie Sansone 3 Mile Radio Remixes Walk to the Hits Mon-Fri = 69 miles
    I'm doing a mile on the treadmill at the gym after weight training Mon-Fri = 23 miles
    I'm doing Leslie Sansone 5 Mile Fat Burner Walk Sun = 20 miles

    I got to the gym too late today to hit the treadmill, I only had time to lift weights since they closed so early. So I did the 5 mile walk instead of the 3 mile plus treadmill. So I'm up a mile! :happy:

    Don't waste time and emotional energy beating yourself up. It won't help you to lose any weight nor will it help you to get stronger. Just start where you are. Do just a mile every day for 5 days. then on the 6th day, do a mile and a half. Do that for 10 days. then on the 11th day, do 2 miles. and so on. Before you know it you will be able to do at least 2-3 miles in a row easy peasy. You can increase your strength and stamina. YES, you can. :flowerforyou:

    barneygirl, you go girl!! Yes Supplemama hit it right on the nail.

    Just jump right in and do what you can do and don't look back, nor sideways to the next walker. Step by step will eventually = mile by mile. I could hardly do a mile when I started back in 2012.

    Also do not compare your goals to anyone else' goals. These are everyone's individual personal goals. The point is to do the best that each of us can, and to challenge ourselves to go the extra mile sometimes. Trust me it is all good - no matter how, or how long, you walk!

    Walk strong!!

    I managed to get in 54 miles in December but only planned for 40 miles. I started a week late on the December challenge. I had the last week of December off of work so I got in some good long (4-5 mile) walks in that allowed me to go over my goal. I think I'll plan for 2 miles a day so that would be 62 miles goal for January!

    1/1: 2 miles
    1/2: 2 miles

    4/62 miles complete.

    Congrats on your successful weight loss????.

    Don't worry on how many miles people do. You go at your pace and add strength training as well. I don't worry about what others do, I only compete with myself ????. Leslie Sansone has plenty of videos on utube:). Wish you the best and feel free to frnd me if you like:). Here's to a strong year.

    Hi All,

    Thanks Texasgardener for being getting us started again!

    New year new challenge = great health! :happy:

    I'm in for 60 miles this month. Like 2essie, I want to concentrate on strength training a bit more this year.

    Good to see all you "frequent" Leslie walkers as well as a lot of new faces.

    Sending motivational vibes out to everyone...

    "Just start where you are." Excellent advice. Don't look back, the past has nothing new to say to you. You can do it one day at a time. It's never too late to be the person you want to be.

    There's a wonderful spirit of encouragement and strength here. I give it a lot of credit for helping me reach my goal. Good luck to you on your quest.
