As the leaves start changing color and the weather becomes more brisk, it’s clear that autumn is upon us. And there’s no better time to get outdoors and start walking. Whether you’re a seasoned strider or a fitness newbie, leading a more active lifestyle will not only make you feel healthier, it will also help you shape up along the way! And there’s more: Walking a little every day as you follow the South Beach Diet lifestyle will help you reach your weight-loss goals faster!
To help you get moving and stay motivated, on Monday, September 14, we’re kicking off an official Fall Walking Challenge here on our South Beach Diet Community Challenge message board. Here’s the scoop:
Three grand-prize winners will be invited to join us in an exclusive, private teleconference with Dr. Arthur Agatston, creator of the South Beach Diet! These winners will also receive a free month on the site, two weeks of free nutrition counseling, and a copy of The South Beach Diet Parties & Holidays Cookbook.
How to participate: Simply post in this folder and tell us about your walking routine and goals. How often do you hit the pavement? How are you keeping your walks interesting? What’s your secret for staying motivated? How are your walks making you feel?
We'll give you weekly assignments to help you answer these questions, participate in the boards, and motivate you to keep walking. You’ll need to post at least once a week, in that week’s dedicated challenge thread, during the course of the eight-week challenge to be eligible to win before the challenge ends on November 9, 2009. Hint: We urge you to post as often as you can, as the content and quality of your posts will be considered by our judges. No pictures required. Check out the official Fall Walking Challenge rules here:

We look forward to seeing you share your fall walking experiences with others! In the meantime, enjoy the challenge … and enjoy your time on the Beach!
Count me in! I walk most day with my ipod for company. I listen to health and fitness podcasts and find them very motivating. I feel fantastic afterwards. I can actually feel the good vibes walking creates. I hope to increase my fitness untill I'm able to jog on a regular basis.
Thanks for having the challenge/prizes. It's what makes a site fun and interesting.
I just read this morning that.."miracles do not break the law of nature." - CS Lewis
This challenge is exactly what I have been hoping for. A way to start a walking routine and stay motivated - thank you for this challenge! I have set my walking shoes out so that they will be ready to go when I get home from work!
Now if I can just get my ticker to work :)
I'm in too! Thanks for starting this challenge. I will continue to walk every day (at least 45-50 min.) but will build intervals into the daily walk and will devote two hours per week to strength training.
I started SB at the end of June and have been dropping the pounds steadily (7.5 so far). I've been in other programs where I lost weight quickly but regained it fast. This is different - slow steady loss without feeling deprived, anxious or hungry. And now they offer this great incentive - way to go South Beach!
Just started the South Beach diet last week. Am excited to participate in the challenge. In hopes that this will help take off he weight a little quicker and make me feel better.
