HI ALL, WELCOME 

MY NAME IS GAIL, BUT I LIKE TO BE CALLED MYDEAR.   I'M GOING TO BE HAVING SURGERY ON THE 15TH AND IT MIGHT HELP WITH MY RECOVERY  IF I COULD GET TO MOVING NOW AND MAYBE LOSS A POUND OR TWO THIS WEEK. 

I'M GOING TO BE DOING THE ONE MILE WALK AWAY THE POUNDS TAPE.  NOW IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME THAT I EVEN LOOKED AT THAT TAPE AND I DON'T THINK I CAN DO THE WHOLE TAPE, BUT I'M GOING TO DO WHAT I CAN DO, AND WORK AT IT EVERYDAY.  I ALSO HAVE A PEDIOMETER THAT I'LL BE WEARING  TO COUNT MY STEPS. A PEDIOMETER IS ALSO ANOTHER TOOL TO MOTIVATE YOU TO MOVE AND PUSH FOR A LITTLE MORE EACH DAY.
HERE'S A LINK TO THE SITE FOR MORE INFO AND HELP ON HOW TO INCREASE YOUR STEPS.  http://www.thewalkingsite.com/10000steps.html.

ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US, EVEN IF YOU CAN'T WALK AND YOUR SITTING ON THE SIDE OF YOUR BED MOVING YOUR LEGS OR ARMS, WELCOME THIS IS A PLACE OF INSPIRATION AND SUPPORT FOR ALL, MYDEAR

Hi JewelKat and MyDear!
I'm going to be doing the 1 mile walk away the pounds today too...I havn't done it in forever, but if I remember correctly, isn't the 1 mile walk tape only 18-20 min long? (I think the 2 mile was about 30 min, and the 3 mile about 45min)  My goal is to be able to make it through the video (i'm not gonna pu**** too hard till I get used to it, don't want to hurt myself !)

HW: 460 (12/18/14) SW: 419 (6/4/15) CW: 330 (10/19/15) Mini goal: 319 by 10/4/15

hi jewelkat and heather S, i'm so glad you both are going to be doing this with me.   sorry for replying so late. i go to church on sundays and we don't get out until 3:pm.   heather, i have the sportline pedometer 360.  and it's pretty accurate. but i haven't used it for a few years, and i need to replace the battery. really i have time. because i'm going to be doing the walk away the pounds time for now . then after i have the surgery and can get out and do more i'll use the pedometer. i read that doing the 1 mile tape is taking 2000 extra steps. that sound like a nice place to start. 

okay my goal is to get to the end of the 1 mile tape this week.

and to get my signature to work, LOL

good luck, don't give up, slow and steady, you can do it, mydear 

PS don't forget to keep us posted

Hi MyDear,
I'm just wondering what kind of pedometer you have. I've tried using one in the past, to record my daily steps, but it wasn't very accurate. It would record any movement as steps, not just actual steps. What's your experience with them??

I just did the 1 mile workout. I ment to do it earlier, but didn't have time, and almost forgot!  I put it on and OMG it was harder than I remember. I'm SOOO out of shape! I made it though the tape, but was barley moving my feet off the floor the last half. My 5 yr old did it with me, and she literally walked circles around me....I would give anything to have that much energy!!  

I'm gonna try and do the workout in the morning tomorrow, I won't have anyother time to do it!

Way to go girls!!  We made it through day 1!!
