Hello EVERYONE,

It has been a while since I have been here. I let an obstacle win for a month or 2, but I'm back now. I'm starting over with my 1-mile WATP vids for now. I did 1mile today and yesterday and felt good getting started again. I gained about half of what I lost before... so I'm encouraged to fight the pounds back off. Glad to be walking with you again!

Welcome back UntilMOMMI :wave: Broken ankle? Ouch! Glad you are recuperated, that couldn't have been fun :(

I am logging 3 miles today, 57.50 for the month. Weighing in at WW today, :crossed: hoping it's only a slight gain or a maintain (best case scenario) because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have lost this week. :ink:

Anyhoo, leaving for Vegas tomorrow and won't be back until next year. So wishing you all a :newyear:. I'm setting my January goal at 60 miles.

well this totally bites ! ...I have a shin splint so I have been trying to go slower on the treadmill , hard to do.....but I don't think I'll make my goal:(

Thanks to some frustration with DH and DS (grrrrrr), I did the 3 mile Abs tape! I can't even remember the last time I did that one! It felt GOOD! Plus, I'm less than 2 miles from my December goal (even though it's WAAAAAY less than most of your goals)! I haven't reached a walking goal since at least August! Hopefully, it's a sign of what's ahead for 2006!

I added another mile this morning! I woke up and told myself I was going to walk and I DID! It was only the 1 mile Original WATP, but it was something (and I'm less than 1 mile from my December goal!).

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Michele :wave:

UntilMOMMI - sorry to hear about your broken ankle! I'm glad that you are back and starting to recover.

Michele L 12-28-2005 12:10 PM

I did another 2.12 treadmill miles this morning and I broke through my goal for December!! Maybe I'll aim for 20 by the end of the week........

Hey walkers
 
I just found this thread and would love to join you from January.
I would love the extra motivation to keep me inspired with my walking, at present I either use my treadmill or the WATP tapes but had never thought about tracking my miles.

Michele L 12-29-2005 07:21 PM

I did the 2 mile WATP Express today!

Michele :wave:

Two more miles down - 9 to go!!:carrot:

Hi walkers,

I am new here too and would like to join in for January. It's been so long since I have done any exercise that I want to focus my first month on getting back into the habit of walking. Therefore, I would like to set my January goal at 31 miles-- 1 mile for each day using WATP express.

icmethinner 12-30-2005 01:22 PM

:)

Did five miles today!!! 4.5 to go for the month of December and I'll have made my goal of 85 miles!

:dancer: :cheer: :cheer: :tread: :cheer: :newyear:

Hi everyone, I would love to join in the challenge for January. I have the original WATP 1 and 2 mile videos. My goal will be 28 miles for January.

MADE MY GOAL!!!!! (In the nick of time!!)
 
Walked 9 - YES NINE!!! miles this morning!! So I surpassed my goal of 85 miles for this month and logged 89.5!!!!! Yay!! I doubt if I have ever walked that far in one month - ever! :encore: :cheer: :cheer: :newyear: :dancer: :dancer: :flow2: :dance: :bravo: :cb: :lol:

Michele L 12-31-2005 12:12 PM

WAY TO GO!!!!! I don't think I could EVER do 9 miles in one day (let alone in one morning!)

I've done 2.4 miles this morning. First, I did the Express 1 mile with my new stretchie. Then, I did 1.4 treadmill miles with some good tunes playing!

I looked back over my calendars and was thoroughly disappointed in myself for 2005 :mad: ! In 2004, I walked a total of 246 days with a yearly mileage of 573.74. In 2005 (not counting anything I may do later today), I have only walked 79 days for a yearly mileage of 183.11. Obviously, something HAS to change or I will just keep getting fatter!

I bought my treadmill on Dec 30, 2003, so that was my first motivation. At that time, I didn't skip a day until March 4. In 2005, I only walked 8 days in January (plus 4 trips to Curves). BIG difference!

I'm hoping, now that I've found this (and a couple of other threads), I will have the accountability to report to you that I HAVE walked!

My goal for January is 25 miles. I'm keeping it kind of low so that I KNOW I can achieve it!

Thanks for all your words of encouragement and support!

Michele :wave:

crk05 12-31-2005 07:23 PM

I walked a grueling 5 miles today bringing my monthly total to 97! :dancer: Happy New Year to everyone!

icmethinner 12-31-2005 09:46 PM

:D Wow! 97!!!! That is AWESOME!!! :bravo: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

And Michele, thanks for your encouragement!

Are we starting a new thread for Jan?? :p

Hi
1st post on this site, looking to lose quite a bit of weight. I love walking so decided this would be a good place to start.
How do I join in with the challenges?

Happy New Year to all

Hi All,

Well, I started today, and did my one mile on WATP. The walking part was easy, but I am so out of shape in my upper arms. Wow, I was hurting just using the resistance bands for a little bit. (I gave myself alot of slack too.)

Oh well, I'll just need to stick with it to. :)

1 mile of 31 completed.
