We had such a great group in March. I am proud too be part of your group. Would love everyone too reach at least 100 miles in at least ONE particular exercise BUT it is not necessary. You can still combine them....THE GOAL IS TOO MOVE! The GOAL is too live a longer, healthier life.....The GOAL is too become the person you want too be...

IF I could quit finding typing errors I would not have too Edit....finger exercise? lol

Did this work for u

heatherweigold....I AM CONFUSED. Call me OLD. I must be having a senior moment. I am unclear as too what you are asking but I will try too answer...

My starting Weight was 216. I started walking in 2009. It took me THREE YEARS too lose 25 pounds only too find I was Insulin Resistant. Dr placed me on meds for this. Since then I did lose more weight but it has still been slow. I lose a bit, gain a bit. End result I had lost 50 pounds. During this time I learned too walk from 1/4 of a mile up a long steep hill (I live on a mountain) and since I have learned too walk anywhere from 3-5 miles daily. some days I do more as time permits. When we go camping I have done as many as 11 miles in one day.

I was within 16 pounds of my goal weight when During Dec 2014 and Jan 2015 I GAINED 10 POUNDS. This was due too a severe neck/shoulder injury. I was literally 'down' for 2 months. I could only be up a short while. I struggled too even walk within my house. I was having too sit back down every 15 minutes or so the pain was so severe. FINALLY after a truck load of Muscle relaxers (ok maybe not that many..lol) I got my life back. I still have a bit of neck discomfort IF I over do but I am way past where I was. IF you could have seen me in 2009 and see me today ...I am told I dont even look like the same person. SOME people I use too work with in 2007 and I run into them today do not even know who I am.....SO YES I FEEL AND LOOK LIKE A NEW PERSON AND I AM A BETTER ME... YES SHOUTING at this part because I am so happy and so Blessed that even thru all I've gone thru too get here GOD HAS HELPED ME ACCOMPLISH...On my on I would have given up....It is quite frustrating too work hard and take months too lose even a couple of pounds....I DO NOT GIVE UP....

Sooooooo IF I did not answer your question then ask me again? I did try...

I am proud of you jahmanry for giving it your best! *
