    I don't use the "plan" you mentioned but I do love walking. I don't walk for cardio every day, but I usually do at least 4 miles. Sometimes just 2, and I am looking for a "walking" app right now;) Denise

    Yes I do. I have fit bit and I'm a teacher so on workdays I often hit 10k. On the weekends, not so much lol

    Hi, abbynormal52 and JuliBiGoolee. Can I TRY adding one or both of you as a Friend Request from my end? I need to see if it can work. Or you could try adding me, let me know you sent the request, and I will let you know if MFP is letting me see/accept it.

    I use the Wii (original - still works LOL) game Walk It Out, with a nunchuck in my back pocket. It counts my steps within the context of the game, and I can usually get 10K in an hour of play. I don't have a way to count steps for the rest of the day. But I figure that between regular almost-daily WIO sessions and exer-biking before work 5 days a week, I'm more than covered.

    Yes. I don’t do much exercise, but I always do my 10k steps daily!

    It's never too late! The 25 lbs by September assumed 5 lbs per month (1 per week) as a target. Just aim for between 22 and 25 for Sept 1 and let us know where you are starting.

    OK - HOW do I add a Friend from this group? The process seems to have changed while I was inactive for several years ....

    Never too late! You will find a great amount of support, tips, motivation here. Although it's up to you to keep coming back and you must be honest with yourself. An earlier post said it best: losing weight is hard. Being overweight is hard. Choose your hard.

    First thing on my daily list of things to do: update/follow MFP. Doesn't get checked off as done unless I do it... and i hate to leave things undone :smiley:

    best wishes!
