    Here is is: Pick a workout you enjoy - running, swimming, walking, biking, lifting. Whatever you want!

    The challenge is to get in at least 30 minutes every day. So an overall goal for the month of 1,000 :) exercise minutes.

    Post your starting weight and exercise of choice. Check in every day for motivation and to keep accountable. We can do it! I am studying 10+ hours a day for the bar exam in 4 weeks, so if I can keep up, so can you.

    My name is Amy. This morning I weighed 164.4lbs. My exercise of choice is walking my dog Marlow.

    Amy amazing idea.

    I too am Amy. I weight 272 and I'm gonna start my work out log in tomorrow. My goal is walking on treadmill. I will report my actual weigh in cause I only weight in the am after mornings pee.

    Let's do this!

    As of 7/19, I am at 689 minutes. I need to get at least 25 minutes in per day through the end of the month to make goal. I also signed up for a 5K in September so it has motivated my butt to run :)

    Thinking about August challenges. Some ideas - calorie-burning challenge, choices challenge (pick this not that sort of thing), or another exercise minute challenge. Any thoughts? I don't like to do "weight loss" challenges because this is a slow and steady process. Better to get the basics down and lose weight over time then focus for one month at a time.

    You can do it! The thing which really got me into the exercise routine was a goal. Mine was a big fencing competition, but a race can serve the same purpose.

    I like the exercise minutes option because even though I use my heart rate monitor for most of my training, I can't use it for bjj so that is always a guess. Also, some people rely on MFP or machines for calories burned and they are notoriously wrong. For the choices option, we might ask be at a different stage of our journey so for me say choosing water over soda is something that has become easy but for someone else that might be tricky. So my vote would be stick with what we have going now, but maybe get people to set their own goal.
