EXERCISE CHALLENGE

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)

    Hi all - I took a stab at a spreadsheet for us to keep track. I added in your totals and notes.... in case you gave them. Here you go. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18id7l5SrwltXidLudgjC

  • 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

It will be if I can get there!!!

Thanx for your support mate...

Count me in! Exercise is sooooo not my strong suit but I'm gonna give it my best shot!

Trying for 3 days at the gym. Treadmill and upper body.

I'm in! Count me for 30-45 mins 4 days a week. :). I am going to do the weight loss part of the challenge on stephh's holiday challenge.

This is my first challenge to participate in. Yea! ????

I will be in on the exercise goal, but out on the weight loss goal. I don't find the two actually correspond. But I like the thought of a challenge to keep me on track.

I will be at the gym 3x a week for an hour at a time. I'll also run at least 2z a week for a minimum of 45 minutes

Bad news...I can't get google docs to load so we are going to have to do this the old fashion way of just checking in once a week (Tuesday's). If anyone has Google docs and wants to volunteer to keep track you're welcome to but I know it's a lot of work and for those doing Stephh's Challenge too, let's do this! We are all here to support one another!

Anybody care to add Fitbit/Tomtom steps/goals to this challenge?

Anyway, I would like 4.5 hours a week (30 minutes a day), and be 179 on Christmas Eve (down 20 lbs from today's weight of 199)

Anybody care to add Fitbit/Tomtom steps/goals to this challenge?

I will add steps...

I would like to exercise 5 hours per week and be in "onederland" by 12/24.

My exercise will be a combination of elliptical training (2 days) with the "C25K" app. (3 days)

I need a little help with the exercise part of my weight loss journey. So I am excited to be part of this group. My goal is to exercise everyday and slowly build up to 10,000 steps a day with light weight lifting. Current weight is 198 and hope to be down 10 lbs. by 12/24. I have lost 87 lbs since my 12/16/14 surgery. Well gotta go and get those steps in. Happy trails to all!

I'm in - definitely a timely challenge!

Exercise Goal = 5 days a week totaling at least is 4 hours/week

Current Weight = 202

Goal Weight = 194

Thank you!!


1) Let everyone know what your weekly exercise goal is: I currently exercise 4 hours a week. Like to up this to 5 hours a week for the challenge period.

2) Let us know what your goal weight loss is for the challenge period (till 12/24) : Current weight 160 goal by 12/24 is 150.
