    I was bouncing in the same few pounds for a while. I changed from "lose 1 lb per week" to "lose 1.5 lbs per week". It wasn't a big change and if it even JUST allows me to lose 1 per week, it may have been what my body needed, since it's been responding to it.

    Our challenge for April is.... 90 minutes per week!

    What we're shooting for is 30 minutes, 3 times a week (or 45 twice, however it works best for you). We can also track a starting weight and end weight (or just a "I lost this much weight" if you don't want to put your actual weight on here).

    So if we get our normal participation levels, we should be able to rack up between 540 to 900 minutes per week alone! I'll create a tracker by the end of today to track these and will post the link in here. :-D I got my "30" in yesterday helping my nephew move, I think I'm good for just about the rest of the month now! lol.

    Here we go!

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AndIdK7-km2hdER0eW1mWFRqaG1ZdFVKNmswNVEwbGc&usp=sharing

    There is a spot for you to put your initial weight and your current weight if you'd like. If not, you can put only your weight lost, but you don't even need that much if you don't want to put it in.

    Simply put in how many minutes per day you've exercised and the sheet takes care of the rest! :)

    Let's rock and roll!!!

    March Madness Motivators - We lost 34.4 pounds as a group last month with those of us who participated! Thank you! You all rock! :bigsmile:

    Julia -

    In honor of you, I'm thinking... A reps based challenge! :-D (Why did that feel like an "Iron Chef" secret ingredient moment?)
