We are here to compete with each other. We walk because we love to walk and it should always be something we enjoy.

We set a month goal on the spread sheet but it is meant as a motivator not a condition of membership. The spreadsheet is so you can see your progress.

So do what is good for you and ENJOY!

ok I will do my best.

dds: I'm so glad you posted. As JoyceMarilyn said this is not a competition but a way to acknowledge the good we are doing for ourselves by walking.
And, please don't compare your miles with anyone else's...it's a sure way to feel defeated.

I meant to say "We are NOT here to compete with each other".

I know I don't walk as much as some of the others but I figure as long as I try , do my best and just keep putting one foot in front of the other one step at a time I am doing ok. I put my miles on the spread sheet just so I can see how I am doing day by day and monthly. . Just do the best you can and don't over do. You don't want to cause more harm than good.

We are NOT here to compete with each other. We are here to encourage. Each of us are in a different place in our lives and should never measure our worth against someone elses actions.

We are here to walk for enjoyment.

I really think it's wonderful that you are trying to get back into shape. Slow is the route so you don't injure yourself. Take it one day at a time. Like everyone said don't compare what you do to anyone else. Be proud that you are doing this after surgery. Take care and be healthy.

Who are you kidding? Your steps and mileage are great! Keep up the great work! :-)

I remember well how weak i was after my hysterectomy -- good for you on walking and taking care of yourself!
