Resolution: Lose Weight.

Storyteller, how fun! I've taken 8 steps on the Camino Frances. Looking forward to Spain.

Woohoo! 177.6, down from 190. Milestone #1 reached. Next stop 173! My comfy weight.

I mentioned my Fitbit. There is this cool site I was turned on to yesterday called Walking 4 Fun. It can actually work with any tracker, but Fitbit ties into it and updates automatically. Others you have update progress manually.

Anyway, you can virtually hike many of the world’s great trails. It looks at your mileage for the day and posts pictures of your trail along that walk, plus maps.

I started the PCT yesterday, humming El Condor Pasa as I walked. Beautiful.

Thanks, Kib. I tried to edit my post for a typo, but deleted it accidentally. Fortunately I could find it again.

How long have you been on W4F? I should probably have started on a more reasonable trail, but I'm from CA and miss it's beauty some times. And I was really inspired by the book and film Wild.

Oh, I've been on it for about five minutes. Haven't even gotten out of my armchair yet. Thank you for the link, I think the whole family is going to find this entertaining. I live in AZ so I figured the beginning of the PCT would look a lot like home. I hope they keep adding, I'd love to "hike" some places I'll never go in person.

And good job on the weight loss, you sound like you're on a roll - a small whole grain roll without butter, of course.

Hey amigos! How's it coming along?

I have found that my Fitbit really helped me lose weight last year. I couldn't lie to myself about how much exercise I was getting and couldn't go to bed until I had 10,000/steps/day

I'm at 10.9pounds. I'm good with that. Weight Watchers is about lifestyle and I'm doing well with the changes.

Well I'm at the same weight I was last week, but I ate a really big meal last night so I think it just needs to work its way through and I should be back on a downward curve. How's everyone else doing?

Progress report: 88 miles on the PCT, so far. Stage 4: Scissors Crossing to Warner Springs.

Well, as I said... I LOVE IT! I'm now up to averaging 25k+ steps per day. And if the other calculations are correct (I find myself doubting it), burning over 3,000 calories a day.
