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.

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

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.

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:

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.
