Hi All,

I am starting a walking program and I was wondering if anyone out there would like to join in. I figured it would be more fun and successful if I had a friend to do it with so if you are interested please let me know.I am thinking of doing a beginners program to get you walking 60 minutes in 12 weeks.

i was banded on july 12th 07 and i would love to walk with u... do this journey together... but i dont know how to do this thread thing.. all i know is to tell you my email is thedove2@yahoo.com i am not walking yet and really need to...its so hot here in va now... 102 today and too hot to get out and walk... have a treadmill coming next week... good luck to u...hope we can connect and keep up with our walking together... since we were banded in pretty much the same time... i have lost 15 pounds so far but lost it the first 2 weeks and now nothing the last 2 weeks... bet it is that i am not exercizing...so must get going with the walking... thanks and hang in there Brenda

Hi Brenda- I sent you an email. :tea:

I walked again today. 35 minutes for 1.75 miles. And I am so excited because since I started the walking program I have lost 2 pounds!!! How is everyone else doing with their walking? How far, how long??

Hey ya'll! I would love to be a part of this walking group! I went to the gym today. YAY! I walked for 35 mins, 1.35 miles.

We can do this!

Welcome Chimboree...awesome job walking. If you want me to send you the spreadsheet with the program we are doing for the 12 weeks...PM me an email address and I will forward it on. I have been walking on a treadmill too but haven't started using the incline yet...still walking flat but I did get it up to 3.3 mph for a 1/4 mile of my walk. Seems sooo slow but I am still fat. LOL

I walked 30 minutes yesterday and 35 minutes today. The walking has been fantastic. I can really tell a boost in my energy.
