How did you do during the month of February?
I managed to walk 102.78 miles this past month. I walked like a crazy person over the past few days to get me past my 100 mile goal. I have to be more consistent with this walking, rather than cramming it in during the last few days of the month.
I was lucky though, as we have had some lovely weather which has made walking a joy. My year to date total is 216.53 miles.
Now for my weight loss for the month. The other day I mentioned it was non existent for February. Well in my peri-menopause brain fog that I seem to be permanently in I thought I had lost more than I had last month. When I checked back to see how much I had lost overall, it turns out I have lost another 4 lbs this month, to bring my total weight loss to 39 1/2 lbs. Drat, half a pound off the 40 lb mark.
I have been at this weight loss, exercise thing for eight months now. So as you can see I am in the slow and steady lane, rather than the quick and fast lane. Which I personally think is a better way, as my body is adapting better to all the changes I have been making. Which is giving me positive results.
One of the down sides though of losing weight is my clothes are all getting too big, but I am between sizes so want to wait before I buy anything else new.
So my goals for March are to walk the 100 miles (hoping for more) and lose 5 1/2 lbs.
I am excited to hear how everyone else did?

Wow! Well done, Gill! You're doing fantastic - I really need to get a fitbit to join the 'club', but have made a deal with a colleague to buy her cross trainer from her for £50 instead. I've got a pedometer on my iPod which I hope will count that sort of workout as steps which I can accumulate as well. We'll see! Keep up the great work xx

Hi Gill, I have walked 107 miles this month. Its been a slog through early Feb, but I have had some great walks the last few days with the warmer weather. Happy walking.
Well done!
Slow and steady is the best. Way to go.
God bless.
Very well done! I have tried to get out to walk as well, but the weather this month is not cooperating. It is slow going.
Well done. Are you on a diet to loose the weight. Just curious, I watch what I east but the scales are still showing the same. Gotta get out there and walk more I guess. Bit difficult as my Mum is in hospital and it is a hour ride there and another back home and I do this three times a week, my sister does the opposite days and neither one of us goes on Sunday.

Slow and steady definitely wins this race - as does lifestyle changes rather than "a diet", which I guess you are also aware of by now! I was truly astonished quite what a different "Eat a bit less and move a bit more" made and I LOVE my fitbit now - such a great tool to spur us on!
