Hey everyone! Great job on your totals for September and a huge thank you to Butterthebean for starting that post and challenging us all to challenge ourselves. We all wish BTB great success and a speedy recovery from his surgery. We know you will be watching and cheering us on. October is among us and with that comes a new challenge. 100 miles in 31 days! Walk, run, bike, whatever you do, log those miles and drink that water! Anyone who has been lurking in the shadows and watching last months challenge, now is your time to join us! It doesn't matter if you do 1 mile a day or 20, just go at your pace and have fun! For those of us who participated in last months challenge, I want to issue a personal challenge to add another 15 miles to what you did last month. After all, there is 1 more day in this month.

On a side note, this group has become very motivational for me as well as others. If you don't mind, let's let everyone know your real first name. If you would rather not and just want to go with your username that is perfectly fine. I will kick it off...my name is Ted. Good luck everyone and log those miles!!

AWESOME day today! Just over 4 miles today including a great 1 mile walk with my wife at the track down the road. She walked the entire mile without stopping! I am soooo proud of her. Before her surgery she couldn't even go past 2 laps which is 1/2 mile. Tonight she walked 4 complete laps and wasn't even winded! I love it! Love ya baby!

So...this puts my total at 125.15 miles for the month.

My bike came in!! I got it put together and got in a mile before having to run my grandson and son around. Came home had leftovers for dinner and put in 2 more miles while watching the end of the biggest loser. So for now my total is 59.44 OMG I might make 60 miles!!! My bike is quiet and the seat is nicely padded. ps I'm gonna make 60 miles before I go to bed tonight!

Go, girl! I love my bike. Only issue is my dadgum tailbone. It is unbearable unless I double over a small pillow and let my tailbone hang off. Okay, I KNOW y'all all needed that info!! Lol. But it hurts!!! No padding left.

I can't tell you how many saddles I tried since riding. I like the one I currently have on my bike and it matches also. I found in the past that I had to keep making adjustments to it as I lost weight. A small sacrifice in my mind to reach the ultimate goal.

Keep moving if you are able to do so.

Woohoo I did it! I got back on my bike for another mile, 60.44 miles total! Heck I might make 65 for October ????

Missus butter ran 5 miles tonight. Her total is 93.3. She swears she's going to hit 100 by months end. She's cutting it close but I believe she can do it.

5.3 walking yesterday, 5.2 walking today and 3 more on the elliptical. Total: 166.4

I'm going to be short on my running goal because I missed 4 running days' date=' but overall a huge improvement from last month.[/quote']

That's the whole idea....improve over last month. You did that. Great job.

I went back to work two weeks ago, I work 12.5 hr shifts. We get two 15 min breaks and a 45 minute lunch. I jog walk the parking lot during my lunch for 15-20 minutes and walk 7-10 minutes each break. I don't know about distance but I know I'm not sitting on my butt my breaks, and I'm almost at 50 lbs 5 weeks out.

That's fantastic! Good for you on the weight as well as the jog/walk

OK, haven't checked in since I joined, but finally hit 100.6 yesterday. One day to spare haha!

Last month I logged 120 (no idea how I managed that) so I am going to make that my November goal.

Loved following everyone's updates! Great job to all!

Hi all! Even though I thought I wasn't going to be able to hit my 125 mile goal, I am right on track to finish up by tomorrow. Over the past two days I walked 7 miles and rode my exercise bike 9 miles. This brings my total to 113 miles...just need 6 miles today and tomorrow...woo hoo! This challenge is paying off...last night I had to buy a dress for my friend's wedding. I was able to get into a size 14...I haven't been a size 14 in 8 years! I can't wait to push myself even more in next month's challenge. Everyone has done so well...you all are my inspiration

Hi everyone!!! We are all finishing off the month great!!!! I did 6 miles today, 1 treadmill, 2 elliptical and 3 bike!!!! I'm feeling awesome and can't wait to hit 100 miles next month!! Total Oct 30th. 59 miles!!!!

8.5 miles today for a monthly total of 65. Tomorrow will be a good challenge to fit in exercise as I have a busy schedule.
