    This is a great challenge! I am going to walk an hour a day. Before the end of October, I will have at least one day with 20,000 steps! Maybe go hiking for a day if the good weather finally settles in.

    I am way late to this party, but I'm pretty new to MFP - so my goal for the last 21 days of October -

    - walk every day at least 30 minutes
    - 100,000 steps

    I've been having some issues with my knees - going to the rheumatologist and probably getting a cortisone shot in one or both knees which will help. So I'm just ramping up walking again.

    :D BOO! >:)
    This is continued from previous Monthly Walking Challenges, we are walking into the 10th month of the year *YAY Keep going!*. Each month has its own thread.
    **** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, let’s keep each other motivated ****

    Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you cannot track distance (or do not want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise you are getting in. :)

    Come back here and just post how far you walked, even if it was to the mailbox on a given day. The important thing is that you are moving and getting out (or if you walked in place in your basement to a video). Sometimes we need a little encouragement in order to do things in life.

    Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long. This is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise every day, and keep an eye on each other. Remember, you can track by steps, distance (miles or kilometers), time, etc.

    RULES:
    *no bullying
    *no pressure
    *just walking, dancing, stepping, hiking, trick or treating, anything to get you moving.
    *just lace up the shoes and take a walk!
    *anyone can join in at any time.


    Frequently Asked:
    Is there a way to flag this thread or do we have to search for it every time?

    There is a star in the corner (right) you can click that to favorite the topic. It will always be on the right when you enter the community area. You can click the star once back in the forums and it shows you the topic you starred.

    Can I join? How do I join the challenge?

    Really simple, just come back here and post/tell us about your walk experience in any form you wish! *anyone can join in at any time*

    Started my weight loss journey on October 1, 2016 with 55 pounds to lose. Chronic pain issues in feet and back. Goal is to walk at least 10 minutes per day, 3x per day.

    Goal: 350,000 steps in October

    10/2 -- 10,027 steps
    10/3 -- 15,341 steps
    10/4 --11,212 steps
    10/5 --3,594 steps
    10/6 -- 6,802 steps
    10/7 -- 12,158 steps
    10/8 --2,805 steps (I think my fitbit may have run out of its charge this day...)
    10/9 -- 13,775 steps
    10/10 -- 11,093 steps

    I'll have to do several fairly big days to make of for those little ones if I want to make my goal. And the Seattle rain is coming! I may buy a new rain coat to motivate myself.

    263,193 steps to go!

    10/5/2016 I did 11,741 steps. Now can someone tell me if I can add to this post? Or do I have to do another post?

    You can only edit within one hour. You will have to do a post each time mostly.

    If you "quote" your post you can delete everything between the [brackets] then add new data and repost

    Or just copy and paste your last post into the new post and add the new info.
