    Hi Walkers
    I am getting a late start but better late than never. I'm a LS walker who's been off the wagon and now coming home!! If I can get in 2 miles/day for the next 5 days that will.put me at 10 for the month - and that's 10 more than I did last month!

    My name is Janet and I'm looking forward to walking with you all!

    Welcome to the LS Walk forum and the monthly challenge Dragonfly11. That is awesome that you are jumping (or is that walking?) right in no matter what day of the month it is. I'm so proud of not waiting for next month's challenge.

    Lilymay2, Your walks are awesome no matter how you get them on!!! It is all good. That is wonderful that you are able to walk outside so much this month! It seems that the weather is cooperating with your desire to walk outside. You can always find a time to walk inside no matter the weather, and outside is not always available.

    Welcome dragonfly11! Any time is a great day to join in the fun.

    Woot-woots to Bandit5125- chaiyachaiya21 for reaching your goal! It feels good right?

    Scottjackiang- safe travels and for pushing it out with your goal in sight!

    lidenalex I knew you would keep the train going no matter where you are traveling.

    AnnofB thanks to your post I am checking into the Debbie Rocker dvd and one of her books through the library.

    zichab I had been trying to figure out from your posts what endomondo was and then my son sent me a link to try and that was that. Too funny- I am just starting to utilize it.

    And thanks texasgardnr for sharing the ways you are working out- with the minutes-and the miles.

    I am 34 from my goal I think- have to check- but this weekend with yard work and general meandering I am much more active because I have this 100 mile goal.

    To move more, is my overall goal and I am achieving that each day.

    Thanks everyone for writing in- just knowing we aren't alone is powerful and encouraging.

    Now this girls gotta book!

    5 mile advanced walk with Leslie today.

    97 miles with Leslie to date

    48 miles outside to date

    145 miles total to date

    goal 100 ...yeah met my goal!

    I didn't get much walking in yesterday, we were demolishing a huge deck but my steps were high, 23000 on sunday and 13400 yesterday, so if you count the miles it was a lot. yesterday it said 6 miles and sunday it said 11, but I am not adding those in my miles walked. so glad that is done, now to build a new one!

    everyone is doing so good! I see a lot of goal breakers coming!!!

    Hello fellow walkers! I had no idea there was a group on here and I am thrilled to join in. Last week I celebrated 200 miles walking. I combine my Leslie DVDs with walking outside. Weather permitting I power walk 4 miles minimum at sunrise. When kept inside I use my DVDs. For mothers day my son gifted me the 30 Day Walk off collection and I love it. May is about over but I commit to walking 20 miles.

    Hi Startergal53- Endomondo is an app for iPhone that I downloaded to my iPad to track my walks and mountain hikes with GPS. I use the free version so it tells me my miles and time per mile each mile. It keeps me on pace since I do not have Leslie's "beats per minute" to go by.:wink: I am trying to challenge myself to do one more mile each time when I walk the neighborhood and having a voice in my backpack say "One mile in 14 minutes 2 seconds" is very motivating! It is a good basic app for walkers and hikers who carry their iPhone, iPad, iPad mini etc with them on their hikes/walks. As an added bonus, it also tells you your calorie burn although it is always higher than MFP so I am guessing it is inflated a bit. :ohwell: Try it for your outdoor walks and see if you like it. :smile: Brenda

    Welcome PinkyPan1, It delights me to no end to find a new walker when we are nearing the end of a month. I am so happy that you didn't wait till next month, but are jumping right in and making goals for the last several days remaining. That rocks big time the way I see it :drinker:

    Great way to walk the miles combining indoor and outdoor miles. There are many ways to get our walk on :smile: .

    zichab, thanks for sharing this information with us. I'm still in the "dumb" flip phone era instead of those lovely "smart" or i Phones :tongue: . I keep telling my daughter that I'm getting closer than ever to switching :laugh: . That app sounds amazing and sure is tipping the scale a bit more.
