Welcome! It's never too late to start moving.
I joined this challenge for motivation to finally make exercise a daily part of my life and boy that's what I get!
Every time I check in someone had posted something about an outing, a struggle, words of encouragement, and of course their movement for the day.
Thank you all. Your words help keep me on "track" and it doesn't feel like a struggle.0 -
Hi, it's me again. Part of my post got cut off. Last night I walked 2 miles.
MTD total is 210 -
Hey hey hey, fellow milers! So good to see some new-comers. Welcome! It's just getting hotter and hotter down here in the south. Sweltering!!! I am one incredibly thankful woman for some a/c.

Hey everyone! All of the welcomes are so wonderful!
7.14: 1 mile walking/jogging
Totals: 1/19
Even though I only got in a mile today it was the first time I've ever jogged outside during the day - I've always waited until the evening because I felt self-conscious about being so out of shape. It was such a small but meaningful moment when I started jogging and didn't care of anyone saw me.

@tiffyree23 & @homemademama, my hat is off to you guys! Seriously, I wanted to be a runner so bad. In high school, in college, before kids, after kids... It just never clicked for me. I so admire runners. They just look so... intense and healthy and determined! I'm all those things but without the wind blowing in my face. HA! I'll just leave it to you guys. Y'all are doing a great job! 0

lol Steve!
Running? um mm...well I do occasional walk/run combinations but I don't stick with it because it hurts my left knee and sometimes my hip. I am happy and Blessed I can walk. Sometimes my knee bothers me when I ride the Bike. That is why once I quit that I have too build back up and not do it every day...
Today I got in 3.5 Walking miles...
Exercise Bike 5.2 Miles....
Total thus far July 14th.....

Hi all,
Just joining MFP today and this is the area I need most encouragement and motivation in and I love this challenge concept. I have no idea what my goal should be but I'm thinking 50 miles...that would be 3 miles/day. Maybe over-reaching but gotta start somewhere, right?
Glad to be here and loving all the positive posts already. 0 -

Hey @SteveCro don't be so mean!!!
@delivered2015 you can aim for as many or as few miles a month as you feel you can achieve!! But yeah, given that we are half way through July, 50 miles is a reasonable target. I think most of us aim to build on our targets each month, and some, like me, have rubbish months where they do very little because, well, life gets in the way. Welcome to the club and keep on moving!!!0 -

Don't let @SteveCro fool ya, he's faaaar from the sane one in this group. I mean, come on... He sits in front of fans, leans close and hums so he can hear his voice sound all funny.
Wait a minute... Oh nevermind, that was ME that does that! Only because he told me to!!!! HA! @girlinahat, you keep him straight.
@delivered2015, I was aiming for 100 for July but knocked it down to 75 since my lifting program has taken up some of my treadmill time. Welcome! And do what you can. @jeanniewes is our group mom and she will remind us that this is a MOVE Challenge! So move it, girl!
40 total miles0 -
@ girlinahat.. lol your right! but I am on a board of directors of a cemetery. We were having a meeting at a bar.. Didn't want to be the one to drum us up some business lol. And I'm ALWAYS nice..
@ jesiann yep turn your head just right and I sound just like Elvis... hey do both, right foot forward on treadmill left arm up with dumbell. switch and do opposite. Get it all together0 -
lol...I have sat here and read and laughed and read and laughed some more! I WAS NOT LAUGHING, jesiann, at you mentioning I am the group MOM! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh HOW OLD I feel NOW! * Puts on glasses and looks for the walking cane* LOL
Today I started walking the girls. Around a mile into it started sprinkling a bit. They hate walking when it is like that. We rushed back home and I dropped them off. I then headed out in a faster walk all by myself. Probably gave me a bit more miles today without those girls of mine...

OK I admit it. I DID HAVE TOO LAUGH! HOWEVER (as delivered2015 stated) We do ALLl have too start somewhere. So here is a story for YOU..
True story: When I started I weighed 50 pounds more. I had too climb a hill past my house. I had too stop 3 times too catch my breath. After a few years had passed I can now walk all the way up, I can do a walk/jog combination and I have actually jogged all the way up but THAT almost did me in...lol...
Hang in there. As time goes on it just gets better, easier and actually MORE FUN... HONEST! 0 -
I got a good chuckle at @homemademama's story too. Surely we've all been there, right? Surely... lol
Hey the weekend is upon us guys!!! Joy abounds! No big plans here. Probably take the kiddos out for a birthday dinner at some point. My oldest turned 16 this week. Yes, I had him when I was 8...
Oh my dear sweet goodness, do I really have a 16 YEAR OLD! Excuse me while I have a mild panic attack...
Have a great one, guys!
