I just wanted to say thank you. I was unsure of who ever created Health Walkers, but thank you for doing so. I've just had my 1st baby in November and I was really bummed out about all the weight that I've gained. So my mother and I decided to start walking together, but due to how different our schedules, we ended up walking at different times. Since then, I would be catching my self skipping days and getting further and further behind. The other day my mother found Health Walkers on the web. Your site has made it a lot easier since then. I've only been a member for about a week now, but already I feel better when I log in. Thank you once again.

I like this March Madness walking challenge. I just saw it today. The weather here has been bad, plus I have had to work late. I walked today and was logging my miles when I saw the competition. It was a pleasant surprise. This website has been an inspiration to keep me walking. I am telling my friends about it also. To everyone who has reached their first 100 mile goal congratulations. I hope to be there soon.

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.

I read the article that Dean Woodbeck wrote for MTU Tech Topics almost a year ago and I saved it. It took a whole year to actually DO something about it, though! One thing I would enjoy seeing is a count of the number of days of recorded activity in the month. I've been a sporadic exerciser for many years, and my goal this year is to turn this into a HABIT. Being the analyst that I am, seeing numbers and trends is a big motivator for me, so I am really enjoying your site.

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.

When you walk around the mall, you'll get more than you bargained for: A leg up on fitness. Mall walking is a perfect way to make exercise feel less like a chore and more a part of daily life. Shopping centers are heated in winter, air-conditioned in summer, safe, well lit, and free of snapping dogs and pollen. Not only will you burn calories and tone your legs, if you maintain good posture when you walk, you'll give your abs a workout. Keep yourself straight up while holding in your ab muscles; every step becomes a mini sit-up. Most of us lean forward when we walk, but we can catch ourselves easily at the mall: Just check your posture in your reflection in the windows.

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!

Oh Thank you! Thank you! I enjoy the walking challenges that you have set up. I wanted to let you know last month's "March Madness" challenge helped me a lot. The point system and with communicating with my team members worked for me. Thanks for all the effort you put into these.

I want to thank you for the use of your web site to help me lose the weight I was trying to lose. Now that I have met my goal I will be dropping out of your program. Thanks again. I encourage others to use the site as well. Keep up the good work. Yours is the best site of its kind I have found anywhere!

I love the site. It was an excellent idea. I would never have walked on this cold day if it were not for the challenges. I do have a question, in the summer I love to spend a lot of time in the peddle boat, can I count this under any of the categories?
