EXERCISE CHALLENGE ROUND 2!

Hey everyone! Since a lot of people seemed to get good use out of the exercise challenge we are going to do it again. This one will run from here till 3/1/16! I don't have access to a google spreadsheet but luckily we had a poster make one last round so if anyone has access it would be greatly appreciated! Here is the outline:

Let everyone know your weekly exercise goal (how many hours)

Optional: Give your starting weight and goal weight for 3/1/16

Post weekly (Every Monday) if you were able to make your weekly goal and optional weight.

My goal is 3 hours of exercise per week (so far I have 1 hr 15 mins) and my starting weight is 210.4. My goal weight for 3/1/16 is 195.

Hope everyone gets good use out of this challenge, we are all here to cheer each other on!

I know this was posted on Dec 28th. I hope I'm not to late to join.

I'm a year and 7 months post op.I'm at 130. My goals have changed for 2016. I am backing off distance running. I'm starting a new strength training program. Perfect timing for your challenge.

weight lifting 4 days a week. An hour duration. Warm up of cardio 20 mins . My goal is to maintain...I'm also comfortable to gain to the 140's if I stay lean and gain muscle.

Welcome to the challenge! We check in every Monday! I don't have use of a chart :( someone who was participating in the last challenge created a chart so if anyone wants to do so feel free. Otherwise we just post on Mondays how we've done the past week!

Were we supposed to check in this Monday and I missed it? I met my goal, just barely! And weighed in at 211.

I am in again! The last one really helped motivate me. ????

I am going for 3 hours/week.
