    this may be a dumb question, but do the apps used for tracking also track when you are on the treadmill? probably not since they use gps... hmmm.
    No, but most treadmills do this for you.

    Yesh this can count. I do this exercise but have no idea on what the distance is. I've been inside more due to bad weather but yesterday was using a 1 mile sample of Leslie Sansone's walk at home that is available on the website so will count this towards my total.

    I did a little research and every site I went to says that about 2,000 steps is = to 1 miles. I am only 4'11" so I am going to say for me it prob more like 2,500. This is calculated on the average person stride being 2.5'. As much walking as I do chasing after a 7 1/2 month old I am sure I walk atleast a mile a day plus my walks!

    This week I did 29.2 miles and lost 2.7lbs!!! This is a great loss this week for me but I should also contribute it to a bit of cycling as well which I didn't include in my miles. The weather this week looks like it will be much better than last week so I'm going to try and aim to get more miles done this week.

    Looks like I'm the only one left in this challenge, but I 'll continue solo.

    I did 28.8 miles this week and no weight change. I aimed to do more but missed one day at the gym so I will be doing catch up this week as I really want to get to 120miles this month.

    Yay I did it, 126.2 miles walked/runned. This month I ran my first 10k and walked my first continuous 10miles. I've done plenty of exercise this month but only achieved a weight loss of 2.7lbs but I contribute that to over-eating on many occasions. I hope to do much better in terms of weight in March.

    So sorry to leave you solo. I won't go back and break it up into weeks but by my best calculations and rounding down rather than up, I walked/jogged/ran a total of 138.13 miles in February. I am quite surpirised. I clocked my "running with wolves" with my car odometer and it is 4.5 miles, much better than I thought. That helped rack up the miles more than expected. I looked back at my exercise journal for the month and figures out what speed I was going and how long. Even allowing for a wide margin of error (since I wasn't adding daily) I doubt I overestimated by 18 miles. YAY!! I did it!!!!
    I did not weigh in well. As of today I gained 9 lbs from my lowest weight. I haven't been weighing consistently so it is hard to tell for sure.

    I will try to be more accountable and consistent with the March challenge. Thanks!!
