    Great start
    Count me in. I have been going to the y and using the treadmill everyday. I have short term goals like mani/pedi if I make it for 2 whole weeks. Well I one week in. No stopping me now!! I use a FirBit I usually get about 4.5 miles in steps/day. About 2 miles from the treadmill the rest from my normal walking at work. My goal is at least 10,000 steps per day. The step trackers are very good motivators to keep you moving. Anyway feel free to add me!! Happy Saturday!!

    great start! It's good to have little goals and treats too ;) we have date night and massages as a reward every few weeks. Keeps the motivation going :) good luck x

    Bravo.....my airline carry-on is a back-pack so I can easily walk in the airport while waiting to board...I also bring my phone (with music to listen to) and ear phones.

    Walking in the airport is fab- lots of waiting around = many steps to take :)

    Well done American, Coleen, and a Hat full of sky... One step, one km, one mile all adds up. Good luck with reaching your goals :wink: x x x

    Well done! A little taste won't hurt- just stick within calories or make it up with extra exercise! :wink:

    Take good care of it! I injured my ankles last year and it took quite a while before they were any good.
