New Year, new start! Hi, I'm Karen and I'm in Surrey, England. I'm a mum of five and will be walking with my year old daughter in her buggy. I enjoy walking while listening to music or podcasts and would like to lose 21lb this year, but fitness is my priority. My goal this month will be high as I want to kick start the new year, so I'm going for 150 miles. This is a distance I've not yet achieved inside a month and will definitely be a challenge for me.

Who are you? Where are you? What's your goal? Remember your goal should be suitable for you and it doesn't matter if you record in miles, steps, hours or whatever. For help see the thread 'Recording Progress'.

    I'm in. Last month between vacation days and the rain I did 188.07 miles. I am with you in starting the year off strong - but just incase the weather doesn't cooperate my goal will be 200 miles.

    I'm in. I'm 31 weeks pregnant with #4, so I'm just shooting for 1.5 miles a day. This will help my blood sugar and the end of pregnancy aches and pains.

    Well done Longtobelean! Way to keep going and keep active. I know from experience how important it is not to use pregnancy as an excuse and just sit and veg out ;) I made that mistake with number four and kept active with number five and it turned out soooooo much better in every way!

    Good to see a couple of familiar faces and an especially big welcome to the newbies!

    Starting late. Haven't been really walking much lately and I so miss it. Will use my fitbit to keep track.
