We are walkers, joggers, bicyclists, and some do other exercise. We set goals and keep track by miles. You can set your goal for any amount, count your miles any way you wish. The goal is consistency with exercise.
We started Jan. 20, 2003 on the WW Challenge Central Board as "250 Miles by June 1" & we've done 35 five-month walking challenges, including the one we finished Oct 1, 2016.
The group challenge is to average about 2 miles a day, 13 miles a week, or 50 miles a month; if you do it, in 5 months you will have walked 250 miles, and if you have stuck with the challenge and a healthy eating program for that 5 months, you will see wonderful changes in your health, fitness, and size!
Some people will finish well before the target date & will go for more or another 250 miles, but others will go at a slower pace, and new members will join along the way, so each member is welcome to set her/his own personal goal and target date. The new group challenge which started Oct 1, 2016, is "250 Miles by March 1, 2017."

Good Morning!!
Sorry to be MIA but I take a break from the computer most weekends. I did finally do one of my writing assignments for my college course yesterday. I managed to exercise this weekend. I added a 2 mile WATP Fri, 3 mile WATP Sat, and 2 mile WATP yesterday. I did eat some junk foods over the weekend which consisted of doughnuts and a few chips.
Cait: I think your DH needs to lock up his junk foods. Good job with your miles.
Nancy: You are doing so good with your miles. We are expecting some snow flurries today.
Ruth: Hope your cold is improving and you enjoyed your grandbabies.
Velda: Great job with your continued exercise.
Amy: Hope all is well.
Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

Good Morning Walkers!
I did all my HHs yesterday. In early evening I started obsessing over the snack foods but I prayed and emailed a commitment to an OA friend that I would. It eat until my planned evening snack and the urge went away, thank you God.
We walked 4 miles on that gorgeous day to and along the beach, to lunch and back. It looks like another beautiful day in SoCal.
-------
JAN PR CHALLENGE:
So far this Month out of 29 days:
Green zone pts: 15
At least 1 mi per day: 23
JGTB: 25
--------
For me Jan has been a mixed month - pretty good with exercise, very good with JGTB which I'm sure is a PR, and not great but not awful with eating - at least half the days in my green zone of eating, a few days over some, and 6 or 7 days OOC, which is not great, but I've had worse. I'm marching in place right now and will count the OOC days later.
KELLY - too funny re DHs snack foods. Some of them I don't touch. Others I avoid but then cave in and dive in. The one calling me last night was chips left over from having our friends over for dinner.
Waving at everyone! Have a great day!

Hi Kelly and Cait and ATF. I was at the sportsplex bright and early this morning. I did 2 miles on the bike then 40 minutes on the indoor track walking a couple laps, then running a couple laps, etc. Takes 14 laps to make a mile. I don't count the laps, too distracting and then I start stressing. LOL. Today starts my official training for my half marathon in a couple months.

Good Morning!!
I had a great day yesterday. I tracked on my app. I drank my water and added a 3 mile WATP for ABS. One of her older ones. We had a little snow yesterday. However, on one of our major interstates I 83 there was a whiteout near the PA/MD line and caused a major crash over 40 cars. Sadly there was one fatality. The road was closed for hours.
Cait: Your walk sounds very nice. Great job on walking in place and also not eating anything but your planned snack.
Yetta: Great job with your exercise and preparing for your half marathon.
Nancy: Great job with your miles on the treadmill and the bike.
Waving to all. Happy walking and sending those skinny vibes.

Good morning. I am feeling somewhat better ~ I hate getting a cold. Thanks. I have not done a workout for many days trying to rest my body. It is a very difficult decision when I have to make it but I feel I am getting better at thinking of what is really good for me and not what I think I should be doing for calorie burning.
Velda, somehow I missed the info about the goat festival. That sounds fun and thanks for the explanation of the event.
Kelly, I think it is really good to disconnect from a device or two sometimes. Not easy tho.
Cait, EDA goes with the 12 steps too. Sometimes the work is so hard and I especially have trouble identifying how I feel and why. It is hard to dig into yourself too deep sometimes.
Nancy, your consistency is admirable.
Yetta, good for you.. that is so exciting you are doing a 1/2 marathon!
I am kind of waiting for the baby that is sleeping upstairs to make a noise so I can go get her. DD was going to go home yesterday but it was snowing a little so she decided to stay one more day. I am glad she is sleeping for her moms sake but I wish she would get up so I can see her before work. I can't even say how happy I was with both babies here. My birthday is in a couple weeks and I told them that is all I want, for them to come here.
120.8/250 miles as of Jan 30

Good Morning Walkers!
Yesterday I finished my Jan PR challenge with a whimper not a cheer. I did get in 1 mile marching in the am, but no more exercise, and I stayed up late and ate chips and peanut butter pretzels.

New day, new choices; new month, new choices

JAN PR CHALLENGE:
In Jan out of 31 days:
Green zone pts: 16
At least 1 mi per day: 25
JGTB: 26
--------
My weight was up 1.6 lbs at my monthly WW WI but still in LT range. No surprise given so few days in my green zone and 6 days of compulsive eating.
The PR challenge was good for me because I saw I can JGTB very consistently and when I do, it helps me avoid compulsive eating at my riskiest time.
For Feb I'm just going to focus on no compulsive eating, trusting my Guidance, and doing my HHs as best I can one day at a time.
KELLY - GFY with the healthy eating and WATP
Waving at everyone! Have a great day!

Good afternoon,
Kelly good for you with your WATP and getting on track with your eating.
Cait isn't it good being in the LT range. At least we are still trying. Hope you have a better month this month.
I walked three miles and rode bike twenty minute = four miles, I am determined to get to 250. I think I am up to 190. And I feel so much better, even when I have to push myself to get started. My eating has been OP. Have any of you used the air fryers? I ordered one yesterday. Several people on the WW Connect pages use them and really like them, so I will see.
Waving to ALF,
Nancy

Good Morning,
I stayed OP again yesterday. I did a 5 mile WATP with boosted walking last evening. Feeling good. Goal for my weekend is to not gain a bunch of weight that I spend all week taking off.
Starting a Challenge on March 13 that runs til May 22 at work. They call it the 10 lb throwdown. It's to promote weight loss, healthy eating, and exercise. Our office is going to do it as a group. It is offered through the company we work for but is open to other businesses or even individuals. There are small prizes along the way. At the end,there are medals and a traveling Trophy. Hope it will be the motivation I need to keep on moving, Sure, do not want to hold my group back.
Cait: December and January were a bust for me. Good for you staying in your LT range. I keep saying this is going to be the year for me. I've done it before, I can do it again, just need to maintain.
Nancy: Great job with your exercising. You are doing a great job.
Waving to all!! Happy Walking!!

good afternoon,
Kelly five mile WATP ,woohoo! Your challenge at work sounds great, hope your group wins. I think it is good that companies offer programs like that. Obesity is so rampant in our country.
I went to WW today, still free! The room was overflowing with new members, hope they continue. Came home and walked two miles.
Waving to ATF!

Good morning. I woke up at 2:30 and tried to go back to sleep but I guess something must be on my mind bothering me. So I decided to get up and go to the gym. I have not been here for several days, not feeling great plus seems like no time.
Cait: Good goals for Feb.
Nancy: Why is WW Free? Let us know all about the air fryer! Sounds interesting.
Kelly: What does boosted walking mean?
