I had posted a message a couple weeks ago about wanting to join a group to help keep me accountable and never got any response on it so I have decided to do my own thing and if others want to join me that would be AWESOME!

The goal for me is to get myself going to the gym 5/7 days for an hour of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training each night.
Because I have just started really working out I am going to work up to this slowly with monthly challenges.

Ex: April Challenge: Go to the gym 3/7 days for 20 minutes cardio and 10 minutes strength training

I plan on weighing in every Friday and posting PW (Previous Weight), CW (Current Weight), and PWL (Percentage Weight Lost).


I hope this helps keep me motivated and accountable.
And.. if anyone wants to join, let me know your starting weight and I will add you to my spreadsheet so that I can post updates every Friday.

    Just saw this post. I'd love to join in.

    My goal is 4/7 days to the gym for 30 mins of cardio then 15 mins or so of strength training. I have had a hard time getting to the gym and this should make me accountable too!

    W-187 for your spreadsheet.
