Hi Walkers, I finally decided to tell you all my story so far. I only joined 10,000 steps late July this year and found all the challenges a real motivator. Over a long period of time I had a real problem with my weight, and being at an age now of 55 years where it is crucial to be fit and healthy, with the help of my GP, Dietitian and 10,000 steps I am working very hard to achieve my goal weight of 65kg. I am only 161cm tall and my weight at present is about 102kg. Since March this year I have lost 13.1 kg. I have been overweight now for so many years, I just cant remember when it all started, so with my slow weight loss I can now see the real me, who has been waiting so long to come out of hiding. It will probably take me at least another year to achieve my goal, but I am count on loosing with the 10,000 steps challenges every month. I hope this story encourages other people who are trying to have a happy and healthy life. I have walked 3,311,193 steps so far this year. Happy Walking Suzanne
