Great minds think alike- lol :smile: It is a "terrific" Tuesday- so I decided to do 2 miles to kick it off right with Leslie- perhaps more later but for now I am revved and ready to face the day. Woot that puts me at 56 for the month and there are miles to go before I rest. Thanks Texasgardnr I too am concentrating on…

All is good! A beautiful Monday- I see everyone is having a "motivated" Monday as well. Did 3 for total of 54! It's been a great day and I am planning to put my legs up and chill this evening. Coffee time! :happy:

Wow everyone is having a great weekend I see. Just popped in to record 4 miles for today. 51 miles woohoo! I'm doing the happy dance along with all ya!

:smile: Thank you Lidenalex! Wonderfully motivating post- thank you for sharing what you have culled from others and your own experience. All of us who have gone through the ups and downs of life know full well the truth when we see it. Sometimes I look at what needs to be done and can shut down a bit until I remember to…

Fantastic heavenlyb14! After an appt this morning I am heading to the mall-these are the days I wish I had a pedometer lol. Looking into getting one of those fitbits or some such- any advice from anyone here who may be using a particular brand? Well I am off this morning hoping everyone has a great "walking and moving"…

Fab Friday Folks! Did a Leslie mix this morning: 1 m Burn Body Fat/ 3 m BBF and finished with the Ultimate 5 day dvd for the final mile. Got cardio and weights in. I am so excited to be here. Great motivation folks. Total 47 miles (and the day is young) :bigsmile:

Great topic- speaks to where I am. Love that so many are weighing in on it. For me personally I am tired of hearing myself say "menopausal" and using it as a "catch all" for this time of life. I don't like to be a complainer or use it as an excuse but that has been how I've rolled lately. I look for "sparks" every day to…

Great job wimpywrx! My husband enjoys exercising with Leslie as well and I love it that you have written down the time of your next workout. Speaks of intention and making it important.

I love the 5k with a twist- great fun isn't it? I used it to practice for the 5k a few weeks ago and found it to be motivating. Did 2 miles today- 42 for May woot!! Glad to see everyone is recording and enjoying oh and ScottJackiang I love the belly fat one, I still have yet to try the hits radio remix so many choices eh?

I hear you girl. The mind can do a tap dance on us can't it? Thankfully we have control over what we think so you give it right back hear? :smile: You are doing terrific and I encourage you to ignore the lies running through the mind as you learn to accept the person that now stands before the mirror. As our bodies change…

I'm with you- raising the bar and reaching our goals. Keep up the good work blue_turtle! :happy:

:happy: Thank you all for writing in today. Seriously. My husband was off work today and I almost didn't do my walking because of it. (imagine that lol) Thankfully reading all of your posts pushed me forth. I could go through and "quote" each of you but suffice it to say your stories got me out and doing my miles today.…

Beautiful day out there went to the track instead of the trail did 4 miles. Had planned for 2 but my sis is in a boot so I decided to walk 2 for her. Anything to stay on the track eh? New May total: 36 miles woot Fabulous seeing everyone working it! Keep moving and setting those goals. Appreciate the focus on developing…

LOL just to clarify: I am walking or as I sometimes do "wunning" my May miles. (It doesn't look pretty but it gets the job done) The biking- that is a whole other program I keep track of separately. Me and Leslie we are as she says, "sisters in sweat" and I am glad there are so many other like minded folks out there.

Hey hey! Checking in with 3.5 for a total of 32 miles tonight. 68 to go! Working on my "habit" lidenalex thanks for the positive words. And Wendy0210 kudos for the things you are doing to get more movement in. It's a great reminder for all of us to move more. I got myself a bike for Christmas, first time I have been on one…

It sounds like you had a great day- and are all set with goal. I love hearing what others are working at it gets all of us motivated to do what works. Lol- ChaylaChayla with the four mile work outs! honestly this posting thing has me challenged

Now what? You've reached your goal what is the plan for the rest of the month? Congrats!!!

I'll check that out- she certainly has been an inspiration to many and it is great to know she is being recognized.

My head was pounding again this morning- we are day 7 no 8 on that but I digress. Decided after breakfast to hit the trail and I feel the better for it. Got 4 miles in this morning and I must admit if not for the challenge here I would have lollygagged and not done it at all. (I am a procrastinator at heart-pretty sure…

Hey everybody! Kudos to all the walkers- here is to reaching our goals! Goal 100 miles Thus far 24.5 Woot!

Thank you for sharing, after logging in I decided to walk a few more miles tonight to walk off my dinner. Your words and insight got me through 2.5 miles my total this month is now 19.5! :happy: Onward ho!

I am not familiar with "Daily Burn" but what you have done thus far is great. Kudos! I walk with weights with the Leslie Sansone work out dvds. Some of her newer ones are more compact in time say 30 minutes using weights and/or stretch bands that allow you to work out without realizing you are doing it. Lunges which I had…

Yes! You were in motion. How fun, and I'll bet delicious.

So happy to be here! Just finished "5 fat burning miles" used the #2 weight for most of it. My best to all you walk/runners out there- each of you are an inspiration putting one foot in front of the other. A great day to spend a rainy day here. I see we have some readers here. I had run across an interview with the author…

Welcome! I'm with you- wanting the healthy lifestyle and making it stick and figuring out how this posting stuff works. lol This is the first group I joined (yesterday or day before) the second is the walking one since I do a lot of workouts with Leslie Sansone walking fit dvd's.

2 "Fat burn" miles using 3# weights Followed by stretch band 40 x 2 Woot! May: 12 miles in Have a great walking day folks!

I just spotted this group- I'm in for the May challenge- going for 100 miles. 10 miles total on my calendar thus far. Looking forward to logging in here. This is going to be fun!

Just what I needed to hear- a bit of scare is necessary. Regrets not so much. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!

Hi Connie! I'm Bea and I'm new as well. I'm just getting the kick I need on MFP and I know you will as well.
