    alright then I'll rely on my treadmill walk/run's to inform me distance.

    then on the days I walk outdoors, i'll estimate that from treadmill experience times.

    I'll try to report back daily.

    Thank you for inviting me to your group! I used to run quite a bit and nothing happened for me, now I am trying to get back into it by doing multiple aerobics classes a week and trying to strengthen my arms and legs by weightlifting along with some running.

    My mile time is about 10 minutes and I want to improve that. I do try to walk/run/aerobicize 5 miles a day or more.

    Hello! Happy to have you! Try reading this. It's really short. But it will explain how many calories you have to burn in order to lose a pound a week. I like numbers, so I like keeping track of how many calories I'm burning and eating. It makes me want to push harder to burn those extra calories so I can get the weight off. It's good that you are working on lifting weights because muscle helps bun fat. I only talk about my running experiences but I like to lift weights during the week in order to maintain the weight loss. I hope it works for you!

    Thank you for the invite. I walked almost a 5k this evening before starting on this group.

    how do you know that? i only know how LONG in time I walk, not the distance in K's?

    I have a Fitbit and I know 5k is 3.10 miles and I walked just under 3 miles last night.

    Also my rec center has a outside walking path that is .56 miles or .9k so I just figure it out

    Not sure if I did 3.1 at once, but definitely walked that far overall today, with my hubby. ;)

    Thanks for adding me. I've routinely been walking 10k steps a day for quite some time, until a little medical "episode" halted my exercise for about 8 weeks. Now back into the swing of things, and have a daily target of 6500 steps, which for me is just a shade over 3.2 miles; all being well I can bust that every day :)

    Walked 3.1 tonight. Got home late and was tempted to blow it off but I'm committed so off I went! Strapped on the headlamp and got it done. I probably would not have done this today if I hadn't joined this group, so thanks again for the extra 357 calories burned! :)
