Sign up for an event. 5k 19k something.. Then see if they have a training team you can join. You will love it..promise.

thanks ill look into that

When I first started walking, I could barely make it to the end of my street. I walked with a cane and every single step hurt. By the time I went to the corner and back I thought I might collapse in the driveway. But, I kept doing it day after day, slowly going a little further week after week.

Now...I walk 2 miles a day (weather permitting) and I love it. No more cane either. In fact, if I'm not feeling good, I go walk because I know it'll make me feel so much better.

Just push yourself to do it, you'll feel so much better both physically and mentally.

happy to hear that hopefully ill get to the point of where i can walk every day is my goal with out giving up is my goal

mall walking is also a good thing as long as you just walk and dont stop to shop lol

I have my mp3 with good music and really good headphones and just go.........so much easier with good music.

you make yourself go potty when you got to go

you stop at gas station when your car needs gas

and you drink when you are thirsty

so (make) yourself take a walk..long or short....as long as you do it.

i could barely walk to the end of my short driveway or down my long hall at home

but i did it anyhow.....doesnt matter how far you walk or go....

as long as you do it..

this is my encouragement to you

WE all know YOU can do this! Put your walking shoes on and go. It doesn't have to be long mileage, many short brusts to increase heart rate and then back down. Instead of using elevator to go to 2nd or 3rd floor, walk the stairs, carefully and slowly. Over time it will get easier when you start dropping the weight.

Best wishes

I feel like I came across this post was just for me. Have been having the same problem. Thanks Everyone!
