Please include me in your walking program!! Don't know why I missed the post. I try to walk every day. At home most of the time. A couple of times a week at church. Has everyone else been reporting what they've done? I've been battling 2-3 pounds, up and down, for weeks now and would like to get over the hump. Please include me with the others!! I'm a month late. I'll just add on 4 weeks after January.

@kateia Welcome to the Mayo Walk. We did this last year, and by the time others were starting to make New Year's Resolutions to lose weight, we were almost through three months of exercising. I desperately needed exercise, which I had quit---bad attitude. Others didn't report unless they wanted to. I reported at each level just to have the accountability. It really worked well for me. I didn't lose a lot of weight, but I lost inches. Then, I had a setback that came from nowhere. Since March 2019 I have not been able to walk the program. I intended to continue, but I developed neuropathy in my feet and walking on my treadmill or walking at all was like walking on broken glass and having knives stuck in the soles of my feet. So, I had to stop the daily treadmill exercise. I am now house walking when I can and trying to move around more on days that the pain is not so severe. It is a wonderful program and we had fun using Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" as our theme song. I think we are all doing what we can and it's always fun to have someone else join us. You already have a good routine and are good at exercising, so this program should not be hard for you. Sp glad to have you along for the walk.
