I will walk a minimum of 2 miles a day, 5 days a week, for the month of February. That's a minimum total of 40 miles. Thanks for the challenge! Julie

Good for you!! Hey, why not kill two birds w/one stone? And just think of how proud you'll be knowing that you've done your best BEFORE surgery...you'll do great afterwards!! Best to you, Cass

Hello All, I am so excited there are so many people on board for this walking challenge. My goal for the month of February is 30 miles. Jewels Pre Op/Had First Psych Appt/Hoping for Open RNY in April

Today I walked at least 2 miles, if not 2 1/2 miles. Just in the last couple of days I can tell my back is not so stiff. Usually it takes at least a mile to get myself warmed up, and my back muscles ache so bad. Not today !!! Yeah for me. I am so excited to see everyone on board with the walking challenge.

Hi everyone , Seven, posted her challenge to the NY board and I took her up on it , so here I am logging in my walking goal for the month of February ! I will walk 1 mile in 15 min. for 5 days of every week through the month of February. My total will = 20 miles . I just started the Medifast program a week ago to lose 10% of my weight before surgery which is 38 lbs. I figure this challenge will help me lose as well as keep me on track ! I will be on the Medifast for 8 weeks total. Not only will this challenge help with what I mentioned above but also it will help me to be healthier for surgery . Nice to meet all of you ! Good Luck everyone ! YOU CAN DO IT !!!!! and , Carol
