This game I'm playing makes me walk a lot.
I usually walk about 11 miles on one day on the weekend and about 3 to 5 miles on regular weekdays.
I walk everyday now, for at least 30 minutes, all for this game lol
I'm eating with no regard to calories yet I've gotten smaller. I don't know if I've actually lost weight, but my face feels thinner and I can fit back into dressed that were too small for me.
This is pretty awesome, I never though I could lose weight with just exercise!
I'm pretty sure I walk about 15 miles on every weekend now lol.
I'm pretty hardcore in this game, I walk out in the pouring rain with no umbrella, just my Gore-tex jacket and visor.
My thumbs are brown lol. They must be exposed to the sun more so than the other fingers, but my other fingers are getting brown too. LOL
My thumb's brown colour sticks out like a sore thumb though lol.
It's hard to keep sunscreen on my hands as it gets all sticky and gross on the touch screen on my phone.
I just bought a pair of sun protection gloves though, which will also cover my forearms with holes for my fingertips.
I'm also going to wear a reflective sash when I go at night.
The conversion to dorkdom is almost complete LOL.

What game is this? Ive been walking since 2004. I go everyday too. I do 5 mi on saturdays, 3-4 the rest of the week, and 7 mi once a month. In summer, I go early around 730. In winter, around 4. I wear a big sun hat. I have a neighbor that walks with me and is as hardcore about it as me. You get to where this has to be done everyday, without fail! Love it! Keep it up!

Exercise is addictive. But I bet you are smaller as building muscle and it weighs more than fat. But you become leaner. Yes what is this game? Phillipa

I don't want to post the name because it might lead to clues that identify me, but if you search for the Google GPS game, you will find it for sure.

have you heard of 'born to run'?
i didn't think much of it, truth be told.
truth is more likely to be that we are 'born to walk'. keep the grazing animals walking for a couple days and they would be easy pickings since they need to pretty much constantly eat to survive off the crap they eat...
did you see rabbit proof fence?
i don't know if it is possible to walk too much... given that we can eat while walking...
i find it funny that walking is considered 'exercise' but i suppose the world has come to that.
walking is good, yeah. i don't suspect we were born to sit on our butts.
