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

Passed my goal of 3 hours exercise per week with 5.15. Entered on spreadsheet.

Definitely in!

I'll start tomorrow, twice a day, and four times a week. Wish you guys the best of luck! ????

Current weight: 243 (11/15)

Goal weight: 236 (11/22)

I posted a couple days ago and I don't see my name on the spreadsheet. Not sure I am looking at the right sheet! ????

I did my 5 hrs this week. CW 296

Worked out 5.75 hours this week

My goal was 3 hours and I worked out 4! My SW was 222.6 and my CW is 221.8 my goal is 213. Hoping to keep up the workouts! (And lower my caloric coffee drinks!!!)

Okay. In here. Late start as I was nursing a really bad cold.

Today I did 32 min / 5 miles in the stationary bike.

hi everyone... remember the spreadsheet is in edit mode. Feel free to add your name or targets and milestone information as you want. I did not mean to leave anyone off the spreadsheet on purpose...

OOOOH I'M GOING TO BE SO SADLY HONEST, I HAVE BARELY EXERCISED THIS WEEK, EXCUSES LIKE A PITBULL THAT I CAME IN CONTACT WITH TWICE IN A ROW AND THE WEATHER....BLAH BLAH BLAH...ANYWAY THE SCALE STILL HASN'T MOVED EITHER 188-189-190 BACK AND FORTH....

I did ok with my goal to walk 10,000 steps and even did a little exercise bike. But I have been in a stall for six weeks. Back and forth with 2 lbs. My goal this week is to get to the gym and get on the treadmill. Hope to get the scale moving again. I will never give up. Happy trails to all!
