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

Work your way up...that's what I'm doing...slowly getting back into going to yoga and using the treadmill and bike. And try to find something that you like. I LOVE yoga so it doesn't feel like a workout but afterwards I can feel the work I put in. I still think it's awesome that you're trying. Good for you!

Good Job at getting there twice ????

If I look back at the last week I have worked out 6/7 days for about 30 minutes a day so I reached my 3 hours! Weight is 144

I made good on my promise (to myself) to double up on my gym sessions yesterday...

Not only that, I backed it up this morning with another session and managed to maintain the time/intensity/caloric burn...

It's not much, but it's a start...

Sometimes it's all about the baby steps...

So...totally flaked last week. While I was busy and active I didn't "exercise". However hopefully something has clicked because I did 30 min on the elliptical yesterday and walked 4 miles this morning with plans for mor this week!

I made my goal of three hours but have flaked the last two days....gotta get out there! Having trouble establishing a routine, but working on it.

Made my goal and then some this week. With over 3 hours of exercise and 10,000 steps from just yesterday.
