Okay *kitten* movers, here's the new thread for December move your *kitten* challenge.....welcome to the newbies, welcome back to the oldies...

Set your goal, make your ticker or add your goal and current miles moved to the thread as often as possible and then get moving starting Thursday 12/1...please do not post any NOVEMBER miles here...dinos will update our NOVEMBER spreadsheet shortly.....only add DECEMBER goals/miles here....welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself....

We started this thread in november 2010 so December will be our 14th month...awesome job to those who have participated from the start: dinos, bluiz13, bigmama65....also those who have been here since almost the start: vhuber, ladypersia, toots99, bri1720....and then we have other who have joined each month since and some drop off after joining....the goal is to set a distance goal KM or Miles and track your distance for the month...you are challenging yourself, not competing against anyone else.....the miles can be on a treadmill, the stairmaster, the elliptical, the bike, rollerblades, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming (if you can measure).....just set a goal and do the work...report to the thread often to keep dino updated because he tracks our info on a spreadsheet so you can see how you are doing compared to the group but not to compete with them.....the idea is to set your goal and reach it before the end of the month...welcome and good luck if you decide to join us...

    Hi bluiz13,

    I'd like to join this challenge if you're accepting newbies. My goal for December would be to walk 24 miles. That would only translate to four walks at 6 miles each. I've had to significantly reduce my walking because of a foot injury, but I know I could get one walk per week in. I do other workouts during the week but they couldn't be tracked mileage wise. If this is okay, please count me in and let me know where I should post my numbers after each walk.

    Thanks!
    Jennifer

    me too! this is totally inspiring--I am setting my goal at 300 miles.

    i rode 250 or so miles on my bike and in spin class in Nov so will try to match it (though rain may present a challenge cuz i wont ride in the rain)

    i run at least 6 miles per week and will keep that up rain or shine

    I'll account for zumba assuming a 4 mile per hour walking pace and based on time spent
    and for SHRED or RIPPED assuming a 3 mph and also based on time spent

    i LOVE this idea!

    Wooohoooo...Last month for my 2011 goals. Have you met your goals yet? I have moved 1322.70 miles this year-Goal 1400. This group is awesome!! Thank you for the year of cheers. I so needed them! Lets bring 2012 in with a bang!

    104.10 out of 140 35.90 left....This month I lost my ticker so many days I forgot to log my miles and I didnt want to make them up. Also for two weeks I was in a slump. I thought I could do it without logging and for me even after a year+ of MFP, I still need to log so I am accountable.

    Dec goal 100 miles

    As always Thank you Denise and Dinos!!!! You make being fit extremely wonderful:)

    You can find the challenge progress in a spreadsheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?pli=1&key=0As57uSwFQUGJdC1OU0dvNEdQSXpWQzhfYjdTb1plWnc#gid=36

    It's the same spreadsheet with the previous months, all the challenge data - historic and current is in there. I suggest you bookmark it for easy reference. It's not editable, you'll have to post your miles in your messages. Don't forget to set a personal goal and remember to post every now and then to keep the thread going.

    I set my goal to 200 miles. A little far fetched for December, but I'd like to give it a try.:bigsmile:

    I am in again this month. Since I didn't reach my 70 miles for November I guess I will try again for 70 in December and hopefully I will actually do it this time!!

    I'm in again, but just for 100 this time. I'm off over the holidays and the status of my gym membership is questionable after today - I belong to Bally's which is being sold today to LA Fitness, so waiting to learn the fate of my very old, very cheap membership :(

    Anyway, hopefully I can kill that target, but am trying to be realistic!

    I'm in again. I love this challenge so much! This will be my third month. I've looked at a few of the other challenges on MFP, but this one is the best by far! So my goal for December stays the same: 70 miles walking and running.

    One more thing: Thank you, Bluiz13, for keeping the challenge going, and thank you, Dinos, for updating the spreadsheet so diligently. Best wishes to everyone! :flowerforyou:

    I think I will go for 50 miles, since I am a newbie to both this group and MFP.

    I'm going after 100 miles this month. I've met that one before, so I'm going to push myself to do it again this month.

    Thanks, folks, for keeping the challenges going!
