Okay everyone- So I'm having some trouble getting motivated to exercise so I thought I would start up an exercise challenge so we can do it together. Here's the outline:

1) Let everyone know what your weekly exercise goal is

2) Let us know what your goal weight loss is for the challenge period (till 12/24)

3) Report back each week with if you made your exercise goal and what your weight is!

I know we can do this together!!

My goal is to exercise 3 hours per week and my CW 225.6 goal weight 214.6 (by 12/24)

I'M JOINING BECAUSE I'M ALREADY DOING THIS BUT MAYBE IT WILL KEEP ME ON TRACK SINCE I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE REALLY COLD WEATHER.

I WALK/JOG EVERY DAY, 2 MILES, TAKES APPROX 30 MINUTES

MY FIRST INITIAL GOAL I'VE MADE LONG AGO IS 175. CURRENTLY @ 188.

If not, there is another challenge that happens frequently we could join. @@stephh has a thread called Halloween Challenge. She does new challenges every couple months. I plan on joining her next one, starting 11/9. Just an option if you would rather have more people involved.

I think it's a good idea to set a weekly exercise goal, but I don't think attaching a WLS goal to it is helpful. There are enough post from people comparing themselves to others and kicking themselves because they don't feel their weight loss is fast enough. instead of encouraging others to work out, this feels like it would only further foster competition.

Anyone who doesn't want to put a WLS goal certainly doesn't have to! I will definitely be joining Steph's next challenge too!

Goal is 1-hour activity per day 5 days a week. Usually I do two 30 min activities.

I'll look into the Google doc. For now just report once a week on Tuesdays. ????

Oh ok, I'm in...

I've been taking a break from weights and am currently doing 1hr cardio per day, Mon-Fri...

By the end of the challenge I want to be sitting at the following...

Mon - 1hr cardio + 45min weights

Tues - 1hr cardio

Wed - 1hr cardio + 45min weights

Thurs - 1hr cardio

Fri - 1hr cardio + 45min weights

Sat - 1hr cardio

***EDIT***

I'd also like to pass the 200lb lost threshold by the end of the challenge but that might be pushing it...

But let's have a crack anyway!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
