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

I am a day short of two weeks. Have a bad back so walking is hard (can barely make it to the end of my street without my back spasming). Just got clearance to hit the pool so no more excuses. My goal 45 minutes a day in the pool, Weight loss 10 lbs.

I did 3.5 hours this week. ????????????

Met my goal a lil disappointed because I wanted to pass it but I got this week to try

This week went over three...did about 4:10. Was going to go to Yoga today but am having a bad bout of gastritis so I didn't go. Hopefully by Wednesday it'll feel better so I can go to my middle eastern Dance class which is almost 2 hours!

I am in. I do 30 a day on the elliptical... adding 5 more minutes each week.

It's been a rough week. I got in 2 days of exercise total. My mother just had major back surgery and is living with me for a few months. Weight 206.

Exercised 4 days this week... So proud of myself....my body is yearning for movement..yay me

I was in the hospital the past 8 days with a blockage of blood flow to my colon. So I did not exercise all last week. Trying to take it easy so for this week my goal is 2 hours. SW 225.6 CW 214.8 my goal was 214...so close!
