Hi everyone

I am 6% tp my bronze.

Sue- How do I get to the comparison chart to see the others?

I usually walk today I did a run / walk but mostly I just walk. I use to run all the time but I have to get some weight off before I start running more often.

I think that I have the same pedometer as you do. I know it is a Omron and it counts aerobic steps but I don't know what number it is.

Have a great day

Hi Diane

You are off to a great start! Keep up the good work!

To see the comparison, when you are logged in click on "Compare with Others." There is a 3FC group that you can join. There is a group ID number but I am not sure where I got it for 3FC or what it is. Hmmmmmmm.... bet if we search the forum we can find it. If you need me to, I can help look for it later... kind of rushing through this morning.

The comparison chart is strange though... when I try to compare with the whole US or a city chart, etc., it comes up with ridiculous "highs" for the top. One of them said someone had 91,000 points or something for a week which is of course impossible. I am thinking about emailing the site for an explanation.

HI Diane! Hey I was going to come on tonight and ask how you are doing! You are doing great... it is fun to see the percentages build up.

I am 98% of the way toward my silver! Wow! But the gold is a LOT harder to get LOL. I never did order my bronze but think I will order them both when I do get the silver. I have 876 points to go!!!

Hmmmm the thread sure is quiet! Hope people are busy busy busy working on their awards! Today I earned my silver, yay! Going for the gold but that requires 80,000 points, yikes! Gotta keep moving!!! Puff puff

I'd love to hear from others as to how you are doing.

I'm fairly new to the Challege...but I'm happy to say I'm 20% of the way towards my bronze award!! Yay =D

Oh wow thanks so much for posting this thread!

I remember in High School we did the presidential challenge but it wasn't anything like this! Of course I was the heavest girl (person!) in my class and the school wanted us to finish "Running" a mile in less than 9 minutes. I tried talking to my gym teacher and telling her I would gladly Walk the Mile and do the best I could but I couldn't run it. Unfortunately she wasn't the most sympathetic person and said I'd just have to run it anyway. It took me 15 min to run that thing and I thought I was going to die!!!!!

It makes me wonder why back then they couldn't of assessed us all individually and for us girls/guys who were heavier they could have given us a walking goal instead? Maybe we would of embraced excercising long ago if we would of gotten the right encouragement.

Oh well, I just completed 25 min of walking and logged my time. I can't wait to see those numbers grow!!!!! exercise:
