Hi all,
I have been very lax with my walking lately, so now i am going to get back into it full on .
My goal this month is 150 miles .x
Good luck to everyone .0 -
Good Morning! What a super group this month! I love reading everyone's posts and knowing I am not alone:).
1/2 - 3M Walk off 10 lbs
Have a great day and get your walk in!0 -
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

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.
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.0 -

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...

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:
"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.0 -
Thankyou all for the encouraging words, I feel so much better now. I am going for a walk in the great outdoors. Have a great day all.0

I wanted to get another mile or two in after dinner, but I ended up going ice skating briskly for 55 mins. this afternoon. Probably could give it a go, but I'll let my body rest this evening and get back to it tomorrow!0 -
sounds like a plan Supplemama (love that name) I will give it a try . Thank you
You're welcome dear! (((Hugs)))
Trust me I didn't start out walking as much as I do now, I had to work up to it. And it gets easier the more weight you lose. Walking a mile now is very easy for me, but it was brutal 93 pounds ago.0 -
I walked outside today instead of Sansone it is nice out and I needed to get out. I walked for 50 min., Prob. moderate so I am thinking 2 to 2.5 miles.0

awesome walkers we all are! 0 -
I just ordered Leslies Belly Blasting workout. I also got a Jessica Simpson walking workout too. This will be my first Leslie workout made in this decade. Lol. Looking forward to the new moves and brighter set. I'm used to the dark studio in the 5 Day Slim Down. And I'm not sure I can workout without Mary Kay too, so this will be interesting. Wonder what the old crew is doing? Has Leslie made any new workouts with them lately? If not I do hope she will in the future.
Jessica Simpson was in a Chris Frietag workout, "Two Week Turnaround" Cardio and I liked her style so trying this new one.0 -
I have yet to meet my goals for the last couple months either because Ive slacked or been sick. So let's try this again... it's a new year, I want to look decent in a swim suit and great in my wedding dress in October. My goal for January is to walk 50 miles!!0

Hi everyone. I just found this group and I have to say I am super excited! I am going for 60 miles this month. I have been using Leslie Sansone's 2 and 3 mile Start walking videos that I found on Youtube, I think they were some she did for Exercise Tv, so I just pull it up on the Wii and do it that way. Today was the first day I walked 3 miles since I started walking at the first of November, I've been at least trying to do a 2 mile walk 5 days a week. I'm looking forward to having accountability and meeting some new friends!0

Hi, I'm new to the group but I'm not new to Leslie's workouts or MFP. I basically completed (with a few changes for my schedule to rotation and workouts) a 30 day walk plan.
I am not sure what to set as a goal for myself so I will go with a mile a day, as I am only counting walking with Leslie for this challenge. However, I may revise this if it ends up being too low.
Goal = 31 miles
Today - Burn 30 (it doesn't give miles but I will count it as 2 miles based on the assumption an mile ~15 minutes)

looking for a supportive group of people to keep me motivated......i am back on MFP after being gone for a few weeks...with the holidays i have gained back about 3 pounds....not too bad i know, but still.
i do leslie's dvd's and i also do jillian michaels.....when i feel like being beat up.
i need to get my pedometer back out so i can count my steps. since most of today is over i think i will do that tomorrow.
i need to find some friends on here as well that i can maybe keep in touch with....i am a stay at home mom with a 15 month old and she keeps me on my toes.
i have 12 pounds to go to my goal weight. i have lost 60 so far. some through MFP and some without.0 -
WELCOME new walkers to the LS Walk at Home group and our monthly challenges. January is such a good time to make new commitments to get healthy and strong!! And a whole month challenge will be great way to see that those commitments don't fall by the wayside by the 3rd week out. So lets rock and roll, or is that walk .
Also a happy wave to the veteran walkers coming back for January. It is your consistency that so encourages me. Thank you
.
AnnofB, the new DVDs are fun and have some new moves and steps, but I sure do miss the familiar faces of the older DVDs, but I also really ended up liking the new walkers on the Ultimate 5 Day Walk Plan (first one in the Just Walk series I believe, and is also totally customizable for the miles even) and miss them when they are not on some of the newer ones. But my heart remains with Mary Kay and Carole and company .
I love that with DVDs we can pop in whichever one we have a fancy for for today's w/o. Old or new, with or without music, Leslie solo or in a group. I'm blessed to have options!!
OK everyone!! Lets log those miles and let us know how you got your walk on if you want to. Who knows you may even inspire someone to try a new DVD or to get outdoors (or at least wish that we can ) .
