Hi, I'm Adrie. I started the challenge on Sunday, but am making it "official" today. I've used Leslie's walking DVDs for a long time (heck, I started w VHS tapes), but have gotten out of the habit (and gotten out of shape!), in the past couple of years. Need to get back on track and I believe this is a good way to start. OK, time to get walking!! Good luck everyone.

Hello - my name is Crystal and I am trying to lose quite a bit of weight. I purchased a Fitbit for myself about a month ago and have it set for a daily goal of 10,000 steps. So would my steps each day count for this or is this meant to be in one session?

Hello all. I plan to start the 30 day walking challenge tomorrow. It will be easier for me since it is the first day of May. Good luck to all and to me.

Hi. My name is Vicky and I am from N. Carolina.

I have been doing the 10,000 steps for a little while now. But I had foot surgery Wednesday and I am so lost without being able to walk. It will be a few days yet but I am going to check out this challenge.

I only have 3.8 lbs to go to meet my goal.
And I have been walking and working out for about 3 years now. It has become such a habit that I don't like it when I have to miss for any reason (which is rare). One can always find a place to walk.

Looking forward to all the good advice in this group.

Hi, I started the challenge when it was first posted in the blogs and was so inspired I have kept working at increasing (or at least maintaining) my steps everyday. I have found that I have more energy during the day and find it hard to sit still at my desk. I've even started planning how to sneak in a short walk during lunch (without getting too sweaty that I run my coworkers out of the building). I haven't felt this good in a long time. smiley:

My name is Sharon and I am doing the starter challenge for the next 30 days. I am from AZ.

My name is Laurie and starting June 1, w/10k goals....
Although my Fitbit is acting up.
I live in WI and participate in other challenges as well.

I'm starting today - good luck everyone - feel free to add me

Hi: My name is Gillian, and I am starting the 30 day walking challenge today. I hope the treadmill counts as I use that on days too wet to go outside. I guess walking is walking.

Hi guys, my name is Najma, I'm starting late but hopefully I will finish the 30 day challenge. I'm trying to lost the last 15 lb and this challenge will help me get closer to my goal.

Hi I'm Sheryl, started Challenge June 29. So far so good. Have lost almost 5 pounds.

hi everyone I'am ready to start this thing.....I really enjoy Leslie's videos....

Hi, I am Caroline, and I have lost 45 lbs through using MFP and exercise. I have poorly feet (foot surgery pending) so cannot do impact stuff like running. Therefore, I plan to walk more and more over the 30 days.

I'd like to join, guess I already have, but I'm confused. I don't know where to find the information regarding the challenge. I noticed some people say they have started the intermediate challenge, etc. Where do I find this info? I live in Costa Rica on a mountain with no safe place to walk on a daily basis so I use Leslie Sansomes DVDs for most of my steps. I'm going to be 73 years old later this month so starting out gradually. Usually get between 6500 and 7000 steps per day if I really work at it.

Hi I'm Lisa just did my first 5 minutes. Gonna try to post to keep myself accountable. I want to get off insulin and exercise will be my first step.
