I am not walking the actual Serengeti, but I did just get the Fit Bit badge for walking a total of 500 miles since I started walking. Not bad since the end of June.
I am still enjoying my walking, especially as it is a lot cooler now, which to my mind is perfect walking weather. I am not happy walking when it's stinking hot, pouring with rain and I guess I'll not be happy when it's snowing like crazy and is icy.
I am down between 26 to 28lbs, I seem to fluctuate with those two pounds, but I am still holding steady with my weight, which is good. If I made more of an effort I would lose more, but I am enjoying this slow and steady weight loss as it doesn't feel like hard work.
My next badge I am working towards is Italy which is 736 miles walked. Hoping to get that by the end of January/beginning of February. I would also like to earn the High Tops badge which is 20,000 steps in one day......but I don't think that will be happening any time soon. If I get over 10,000 steps per day I am a happy camper.
This Fit Bit is keeping me motivated and I would highly recommend getting one.

Wow! That's fantastic - congratulations, Gill! Slow and steady is the way to go, especially if you're enjoying it. If you make yourself miserable during the process, what's the point? I need to take a page from your book and get myself outside. Looking forward to hearing about Italy :D xx
I have considered getting one too as I walk everyday for 20 minutes and it keeps me in shape. Congrats on the weight loss, slow and steady is the best
I've had a Fitbit for several years and although there is no way that I could do 10.000 steps as day (disabled) I still find it motivating. For me it's just important to keep moving and Fitbit helps me to move just a little bit more.
Walking is good for you.
Congrats on having walked the Serengeti! That is a nice touch of the app I guess. Happy walking! I am very inspired by you.
Congratulations, that's brilliant!
I think I might need a Fit Bit. Good for you.
God bless.
