Ok, I'll post the mid-week tally later on today (in 6 to 7 hours time), so if anyone has any steps/miles/minutes etc up to yesterday, pop them on the sheet, I'll add them on, and we'll see what part of glorious Great Britain we're currently walking through..

That's great, Laura :smiley: You know that needs a happy dance, right?

Under yesterday, and have brought some healthy food to work with me today. I'm starting to feel like I'm back in control again, yay :smile:

Howdy, folks.

Thanks for adding, folks. I'll do a mid-week tally tomorrow to get a better idea of where we are.

This calls for a happy dance!

Hi to all the new folk, its great to have you with us :smiley:

It was a gentler day for me. I didn't take too well to the heat, so had to wait until it was fairly late to go for a stroll. I ran around the house at 11pm just to get to 5000 steps!

So, here we go. Our first weekly update. Drum roll please... As a team, we have covered 183 miles in our first week! That's awesome, well done to you all! We're passing through the Cairngorms National Park, full of small towns, beautiful scenery, a few nice distilleries, and one or two castles! All the miles I've added to…

We're happy to have you with us :)

Back again. I'm waiting until it gets a little cooler to go out walking, its rather warm today!

Bumping this thread as I'd love to add some friends. I just got a Fitbit today.

Hi here! I've had a slightly emotional day today, but for a good reason. My partner told me that he'd ordered a piece of equipment for his Raspberry Pi and, as he'd been up late last night, asked me if I could keep an ear out for the delivery man in case he turned up before he was out of bed. My partner has recently…

Thanks for sharing this, I might check these trainers out. I want something more supportive as I try to up my exercise a little, and these sound ideal. :smiley:

I'm here :smile: Hi Sharon, nice to meet you

Just a smidge over 4 miles yesterday. I wanted to hit 10,000 steps, but I was pooped by the end of the day, and just couldn't get there. Still, its progress.

Here too

I'm hoping to do some major mileage this weekend! I convinced my partner that walking in the countryside would be a good idea, because the weather's gonna be great, and also because I promised him there would be a pub in the middle and end of the walk! The route I want to take is 8.8 miles, so I'm planning to amble along.…

OH.MY.GOD! This is me, ha ha. Whilst I'm not overly tall (I'm just a tiny bit above average), this is the best way of describing my body shape that I've ever seen! I kinda thought in the past that I was a bit like a pear on stilts, but the 'double popsicle' is what I'll be using from now on. I'm kinda hoping my broad…

Well, I didn't lose any weight this week, but I didn't gain any either, so I'm heading in the right direction again.

I'm about to upload my steps for the day. I fell short of what I wanted to do on Day One as, to be honest, I slept in until early afternoon after being out rather late last night at a friend's house, and maybe sampled one too many vodka and oranges! Tomorrow, I'll aim to do a little more.

I'm here :smile:

Shameless thread bump! The walk starts in two days time, so strap on your walking boots, and get ready, get set....

I'm getting back on the 'good eating' wagon, slowly but surely. I've pre-prepped food for today. I had porridge for breakfast (187 cals), a 80 calorie salad for lunch, and have some yummy snacks of celery, red pepper slices, and an apple. For my 'treat', I have a 2-finger Kitkat (107 cals). I've sent my partner out…

Back again. Starting to get back on track again now, after a bad few weeks. I'm retraining myself to eat properly again (its so easy to forget the hard work you've put in!), and this weekend I have a nice long walk planned.

Oh Kat, I'm so sorry to hear that, that's awful news. I have no advice on coping, I think that's something that everyone will do differently, but we're here for you when you need to talk, rant, share etc. If I was there with you, I'd give you a big hug. If I had one thing to say about a cancer diagnosis, I would say that…

28th April, back again. Feeling really tired this week, but I'm working on building up my energy levels in time for the Britain End to End challenge.

Back again...
