You have joined the perfect group as we post tips and suggestions weekly.
With the warmer weather arriving many of us switch to outdoor walking more. Others walk the treadmill at their home or club.
Make sure you sign up on the spread sheet to keep track of your miles.
Welcome

I see you have found your way to the spread sheet and I must say your miles are outstanding! :)

My job demands alot of daily walking ,,, so I thought I would track it just to see how much I do ,,,, than after that , I do a daily walk in the woods , I do enjoy it I must say.

Hi, I'm new to the group. Me and my daughter (who is 16) try to walk everyday but sometimes things get in the way. She has a 3 month old and we both have doctors appointments and dental appointments all the time, not to mention our choirs around the house, so we are trying our best to fit a routine in. Neither of us have the proper walking shoes. We can't really afford them, so we just work with what we have. I'm a diabetic, with hypo thyroid as well as sleep apnea, and there's some blood pressure issues that aren't severe yet (and don't want them to be). I have a weight issue, but am working on it. I was very athletic as a kid, but I let myself go. My daughter is learning to cook so I gave her the Kitchen in the evening to experiment. She finds healthy recipes, and she makes them. It's been challenging I must say, so we're trying to change our life style, and since I have been so out of whack for so long, we chose walking to be our start. I have a lot of lower back pain I believe is do to my weight issues, this slows me down and has been a detourent. But, my doc said I got 3 months, and if she sees no improvement, she's putting me on the needle, I don't want that. She fears my pancreas may have stopped working or is close to stopping. So, its do or die now. I'm ready, just need to plan a strategy. my goal is to lose 20 pounds by the end of summer. Can it be done? LOL! We shall see.

Welcome Gina! Wishing you the strength and motivation to get to a healthier place.

Welcome to our group. As JoyceMarilyn said we are a great group.
Start slow, don't overdo and find 5-10-15 minute walking opportunities.
Drink water and check out previous posts for walking and fitness suggestions.
