Never walked, ran, or exercised before. Just didn't have the desire or right attitude about health. I downloaded pedometer + for iPhone a few weeks back and just kept pushing myself. Over the last week, I saw my miles go up and said lets shoot for 26.2 over 5 days. Well I have completed the goal as of this morning.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Congrats for determination and reaching a goal........." The world is your oyster."

Congrats to you.

I have no motivation to walk. Chin splints that hurt so I started with 15 minute walks. It is hard. My thighs rub together and we have really hot and humid summers. I am hoping as the weight comes off I will soon feel more like walking. Was it like that for you? I am hoping after I get a few more pounds off I will feel more like walking.

Way to set a goal and get it!!! Great job!!

@@Its-time this is great! I am pretty sure exercise is the magic ingredient. You are doing so well. I signed up for a 5K in September and am wondering who has taken over my body that I would do such a thing. I will fast walk it as I can't run on these joints, but I'm determined to do it. I'm not worried about the distance but just showing up with a bunch of people for an organized exercise event....me? New me, a 50 pounds+ thinner me. And who knows, by September I may be way stronger, more flexible and lighter than I am now. Thanks for the inspiration -- I don't use my iPhone the way I'd like to and am going to start by getting that app. Fun!

It's-time: you are doing great. Love to see people setting reasonable goals and making them. [

Bulawookie; have you thought about cycling? I just started about 2 months ago and I'm addicted. I'd love to run, but knees are bad...bicycle is just right
