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!

Do any of you have Fit Bits? I had a zip and just got the flex...if you have one let me know so we can form a group in the app and do the weekly step challenges!

i have a fitbit flex, but my steps are super low. I spend hours at a time sitting (seeing clients, reading journal articles, 4 hour daily commute, etc). I used to get in only about 2k a day... my current goal is 5k.

If anyone else has a fit bit let me know. We have a nice little group of sleevers and lapbanders for the weekly challenges which is a GREAT motivation for exercise. Hope everyone is having an awesome week!

How was everyone's week? I beat my 5 hour goal with NINE hours of exercise!!! I also had a personal training session at a bootcamp gym that is hosting a 21 day challenge that I signed up for. I'm going to start it 2/27. My weight has been the same between 205-209...but I can tell that I'm losing inches. Hope you all had a great week!

I use my Apple Watch so I can't be part of your fit bit group ????.

I did get in 5 days of workouts for a total of 3.75 hours ????

9 hours!!! Wow, that is awesome. I wish I could find that sort of time.
