You are too funny. I was picturing this beautiful trail and little chickadees hopping in the trees, instead Leslie Sansone. She's attractive and all, but really she just isn't the same. I would rather hear 'tweet, tweet' over 'one, two, three, four' anyday of the week. But, ya do what ya gotta do. Welcome to the challenge. Let's have fun! Seven

Hello, Thanks for the terrific idea! I just returned from working out when I read your post. In addition to my daily circuit weight routine I walked 2 miles today in 35 minutes. I was pretty pumped up! I am setting my goal at 30 miles for the month of February. Thanks, Paula T. 12/20/05 -43 lbs

I have just been looking for the kick in the butt to get started walking again. I actually love to walk. It is a time to unwind, center myself, relax, be alone with God, sing, listen to the birds, feel the wind in my hair, smell the sunshine in the pines. Living in the cold North, in February, I need to dust off my Walking Away the Pounds Video and use it for a couple of months. My body feels the difference when I walk. My mood feels the difference when I walk. My Jeans feel the difference when I walk. My goal for February will be to walk 3 miles 5 times a week or 15mi. a week. In order to accomplish this I will spend the first of my morning walking. I will not turn on the computer until AFTER I have had my walk. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

I have been using the Walking Forum as my own personal space to log my walking goals. I have decided to expand a little and issue a challenge to all the walkers in OH land. HOW IT WORKS Set a goal in minutes or miles for the month of February. Every time you walk, go to the walking forum and log it. At the end of the month see if you reached your goal. It is that simple! EXAMPLE I will walk 10 hours in the month of February. or I will walk 25 miles in the month of February. These can be any type of walks - around the neighborhood, the track, treadmill, mall walks, Walk Away the Pound videos, what ever. But they do need to be walks, not exercise in general. Come on, let's get out there and walk! http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/walking/ Seven

Ok, I'm going for 40miles for the month of February. I usually do the 3mile Walk Away the Pound Express at least 3x's per week and then I added on a few more miles just for good measure, LOL! Hope I can make it!! Thanks for the challenge~this will make me want to stick with it just that much more! Tracy B 328/162/150
