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!!
I had a very nice weekend. Eating was not too bad til last night I got the munchies. I exercised every day too. 2 mile WATP Fri, and 4 mile WATP Sat and Sun. The weather was so nice the end of last week. Saturday we had some thunderstorms and winds. Yesterday it was back to cold weather again. No weight loss for me again last week.
Thanks for all the support I am feeling good and no more repeat attacks.
Ruth: An ERCP= Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that combines upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy and x-rays to treat problems of the bile and pancreatic ducts. I would love to meet you sometime.
Nancy: Great job with all your steps.
Amy: Glad you are doing well with the plan. Congrats on your weight loss.
Cait: Hope you were able to follow plan and JGTB last night.
Waving to all. Happy walking and sending skinny vibes!!

Good evening,
Kelly glad that you had a good weekend, sounds like you are back on track.
Amy great job with your steps.
Ruth enjoy your trip !
I walked two miles this morning. When I walk one mile tomorrow I will make my 250 miles. I hope that I don't take a month off anymore, it is just so hard to catch up.

Good Morning!!
I had a good day yesterday. I added 3.5 miles of exercise. No munchies last night. Last day to reach 250 miles. I surpassed but actually had the least miles I have ever had.
Nancy: Good for you reaching 250 miles after your exercise today. I had a bad December and January where there were a lot of no exercise days.
Amy: Great job on your steps and following your Simply Filling plan.
Cait: Hope all is well.
Waving to all. Happy Walking and sending skinny vibes!!

Good Morning Walkers!
No exercise yesterday but I did JGTB and stayed in my Green zone of pts. I did get some office work done.
I didn't JGTB Sun night & stayed up & ate but at least I didn't go beyond my red zone of pts. I did make my 13 Miles for the week by marching in place Sun eve.
AMY - GFY with the eating plan & your steps!
RUTH - enjoy!
KELLY - glad you're feeling better & OP
NANCY - YAY! GFY with the 250 Miles! You did it!!!!!!
Finishing Feb Fuerte today with planned marching tonight. Today I'm going to my friends "Facials" lunch & chat time. I'm still not sure about the facials part but enjoying the camaraderie. They're doing an "English Tea."
Still doing the Eat Right Now mindfulness training and finding it helpful. I've slowed up on the lessons a bit and that's ok. Appreciating the practice of short mindfulness breaks throughout the day. The app prompts you to "check in" and gives you an exercise to do that takes only 10-30 seconds. The app & "check in" feature is free. The lessons/training feature is only available after the 4th day if you pay.
Waving at everyone! Have a great day!
Cait

Good afternoon,
Kelly GFY surpassing you miles goals. And no munchies last night.
Cait hope you enjoyed the friends lunch and chat time. Sounds like fun.
Waving to Amy and Ruth!
I walked two miles today for a grand total of 251 miles for the challenge.
I only count when I actually do walking or bike riding. I had twenty miles this week of actual exercise, but on my fitbit I had 39.6 miles. So not so bad.
