Thankyou for all of the encouraging emails I received yesterday regarding my first milestone! I am so excited to have made it in such a quick time! I am currently in training for the Avon Breast Cancer 3 Day and the Health Walkers site is a great source for motivation! Every morning after I get back from my walks I go straight to the computer so I can log my miles! Currently, I am walking an average of 3.5 to 4.5 miles a day. Next weekend I will be participating in my first 10 mile walk!!! I am a bit nervous about it but I feel confident that I can complete it. Thank you again for all of the support and kind messages!

I never thought I could stick with a walking program for this long. Health Walkers has helped a lot. I love the friendly challenges.

I really like the “Random Chance Survival” walking event! It promotes consistency; getting out every day and adding some miles. You can't just pile up a bunch of miles one day and then goof off (something I'm exceptionally good at ) since you don't know what days will be excluded. It's helped me go just a bit farther on my "lazy days" than I otherwise would have. Thanks for a well-thought-out event!

I think this is so clever how you have this website set up. It is a great idea, helps to keep me moving.

I walk so I won't have to sit in a doctors office when I get old. I have been a mall walker for more than ten years (2 or 3 times a week). Since I subscribed to Health Walkers in January, I have been given another goal to reach after every achievement. I now walk at least 25 miles each week in order to reach my new goal of 1000 miles this year. I am one of the lucky ones who has never had a weight problem. I'm 68 and feel great thanks to Health Walkers.

I found this site by googling "Walk Across America" hoping somebody had set up a way of translating daily walking miles into a cross-country virtual walk. Health Walkers is even better than what I'd hoped for, very complete but not too complicated. It's really kept me motivated. I'm more than half-way across Illinois (yeah, I started in my home state, not on the East Coast) then it's on to Iowa and points west!

This website has been a big encouragement to me. I am diabetic and need all the encouragement to get on the treadmill even when I don't really feel like it. With the "Survival" special events, I have been increasing my miles and it has been a great health benefit too!. Today I walked 8 miles and feel GREAT!

It's been a lot of help to get started with some type of program that doesn't involve running right away. I have had 3 stress fractures in about 13 months and can not do any running this year. This has been a help to watch the miles accumulate on this site as I am developing a base for marathon training (for a fall marathon-walking). I only log miles that I have walked as part of an exercise period. I walk about 2-3 miles at work but do not count this. I like the option of setting the goals of walking across each state. It makes it a bit more of a challenge and fun. Thanks for the great site and keep up the good work.

I just joined Health Walkers recently and wanted to tell you how much I really love this website! I can't believe how motivated I am. The first thing I do when I get to work each day it logon then call up your site and put in my mileage. I know I will be one of the ones to walk across the country and then some, due for the most part to your website. I really like seeing results from other members as well, I use that to get out there to walk more. Its fun to see each day's totals and "receive credit" for just getting out there to do something I already enjoy. Thanks again for the great website.

What I like about the Health Walkers web site is that it makes me accountable. I especially like the challenges. It’s a great place to keep track of your activity. It’s so easy to just say “I walked 3 times last week”, well…..were they just walks around the block or were they walks around the city? No getting away from the facts of what you recorded. When I was training for a marathon a few years back this web site really helped me stay on track. Sure I sometimes have injuries & I’m side lined & no entries are recorded for a length of time but when I get back on the horse it’s nice to know the web site is there waiting for me.
