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

    Ugh, no energy this week. Seems to be improving now that I've progressed to puréed foods. Only got an hour in. PS This 3 months of free HBO, etc, is not helpful! Too much TV time. Onward and upward.

    I started solids this week... I missed out on a little exercise. Got in about 2.5 hours instead of 3. I'm down to 219.6 lbs. slow and steady.

    I have not made my gym goal this week, however I have done a million squats steps and lots of manual labor for 5 days. Does that count? My weight was 211 this morning.

    The last 2 weeks have been terrible for me for exercise. Especially this week with the holiday. I only did 2 days worth of any type of exercise. My weight was 207 this morning.

    A good note is I passed my goal of 208 already!
