There are relatively small. I keep mine in a ziploc freezer bag in one of the upper pockets of my parka. I have a 10 yr Rugged ridge jacket from LLbean that I paid $125 for. It goes to minus 20 or something, if it actually gets cold I ad a sweater. I never zip it.
We are on the look out for donated snowshoes...
we don't walk roads, there are lots of bad drivers and drunks up here plus we walk at night so sidewalks, trails or paths only. Besides up here they tend to plow stuff for glare ice anyway.

I've been walking regularly 
It's getting addictive. I took a break yesterday and did an hour of yoga instead, but this morning, my sister-in-law and I walked 5kms around a park. It was early in the morning but there were a lot of people out there already. It's great to have company on the walks.

I am glad to hear it Mia! I have a doctors appt. this afternoon and he is going to be delighted to see my weight loss. He is great, an MD DO. You are doing wonders for your heart and body. Yep, me still walking and I am still losing.
BP is borderline but now down to 206 vs 212 on Halloween!
A little rainy and 40f and yes I am walking in it tonight.

BP was borderline but on the low side> I was 212 on Halloween and now 206. Anybody want to bet I will be at or below 200 by Christmas? Well, I am waiting...
I started this thread to help and inspire others, not to bring attention unto myself. Sorry, but if you think otherwise, you are sadly mistaken.

MD DO = medical doctor and doctor of osteopathy? I used to know what DO stands for but can't remember anymore.
I didn't get to do serious walking today since I had so many errands. In all, though, I walked 2.5 kms although it was stop and go all the way. Tomorrow, I will walk in the morning so I start my day off right. I can feel my legs and lungs getting stronger.
I'm not losing weight the way you are, but I hope that over the holidays, I will not gain weight either. How was your walk last night, Wally?

You got it right Mia. Keep trying! One has to make dietary changes as well and stick to it.MercyMia said:MD DO = medical doctor and doctor of osteopathy? I used to know what DO stands for but can't remember anymore.

Hello,
I just wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss and the effort you are obviously putting into letting your motivation and enthusiasm spill over into other's lives as well.
My walking attempt has failed, so I've felt guilty and just lurked around on the thread, but considering the amount I keep running around during work lately, I feel confident about posting again.
Happy walking!

It is all about sharing. We will be here for when you start again. How about this afternoon?

It is already after dark here I am afraid and I am not so much into walking around on my own at night. To be perfectly honest, with the crazy schedule I have coming up until early February, it would most likely be a futile attempt to plan anything on a regular basis. lol
Anyways, I'll stick around though, I know the concept works, just need to find the opportunity to give it a try when spring comes again. Thanks for the motivation though.

Will you walk during the winter, wally?
Mia, it IS winter! So far, I have walked at temps of 30F. Just layer on more clothes is all. Prolly gonna go for a walk again tonight which will make it a double for today.
Gonna go for another walk. Goodbye Mr. Belly!

Now that is so sweet!
How I managed to inspire myself I believe, came from a high school friends sister and pink here. If sharing helps, than I am all for it!
I just about got picked up last nite however, that isn't really what I am looking for, so I put less effort into it than I could have. I'm supposed to have a date this afternoon and one pending. Still looking for Ms. Right and we will relieve each other of our independence with glee!
I'm either going to walk soon or this afternoon but I have a guy coming over to fix a brake line on the truck so I think it will be soon. Anyone else so inspired?//

I joined a 10km event but didn't have anyone to walk with. So as I walked I thought about all the walks you've taken, how steady you've been this year, going out on your own, fair weather or foul.
I'm glad you're meeting up with women. Maybe part of the "test" can be to see if she is a walker, too
Good luck with the brakes and the dates.
