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!

Sorry, forgot to check in yesterday. I did 3.5 hours last week.

Great job everyone!!!

This week I hardly exercised at ALL! Maybe an hour! I'm scheduled to go to yoga 4 hours next week and made time to go walk at the park and I'm down 1 lb (208.4) so let's hope next week is better!

I am 5 weeks post-op and would love to take part in this exercise challenge as well. Thanks so much for doing this!!!

Starting weight: 317.2

Goal Weight: 299.8

Exercise Goal: 2.5 hours per week

I am upping my exercise goal to 3.5 hours per week.

I'm upping my exercise goal for the 3rd time. It is now 5 hours per week.

With that said, I have a new time and distance exercise record of 13.86 Hours and 42.32 miles walked just last week!!!

It does help push me, especially at 5 AM when I don't want to get up. I love having an exercise challenge. ????

Oh boy - a week of 0 minutes working out. My goal for this week is 2 hrs. of exercise!

Just did 60 minutes on the bike...12 miles...burned 600 calories...baby steps...go me!

I posted about this on another thread. But I have been significantly increasing exercise for 2 weeks and have gained almost 4 lbs. I'm not eating more. If anything I've lowered carbs and increased protein. I'm so bummed
