September 6: Goal- 160

Personal challenge: getting in exercise. I do pretty well with walking 2 to 3 miles a day, but beyond that I'm having trouble. My goal is to exercise (beyond walking:tongue: ) at least 1 time between now and May 3. Then my goal is to exercise at least 3 times between May 3rd and 10th.

Thanks for joining my challenge!

    I'm in! Labor Day is just 2 days before my anniversary so this is good because hopefully this year we will take a mini vacation for our anniversary! My personal goal for the next week is to stay within my calories every day. I've been splurging too much this past month and haven't lost much weight.

    Eesh. Thank you for checking me! :bigsmile: I was trying to do too many things at once! I originally thought Fridays (thus that comment:laugh: ), but then decided since Labor Day was on Monday, that would make more sense. I tried to go back and change the dates, but halfway throughI realized that the calendar I was looking at put Mondays in the first block (where all my other calendars have Sundays). I thought I had changed all of them, but apparently I missed one!

    Thanks for catching it!:flowerforyou:

    I am in...any help or motivation would encourage to do it.
    My goal to eat less "whites" -white rice, white bread, white pasta- and I will walk in the morning and do more weights.
    Thanks for your idea!

    I'd like to join! I've really devoted myself to getting some exercise and eating right since last week. So far I've managed to loose about 2 lbs. I'll let you guys know my current status on the first check in. Good luck everyone!

    September 6: GOAL-->140 lbs.

    Personal goal this week: A minimum of 45 minutes of cardio each day. I hyperextended the top of my foot last Tuesday so exercise has been absent lately. I'm hitting the bike this evening and hopefully can get back to the row machine or treadmill sometime this week. At least I can keep lifting :-)

    Good morning all! It's a rainy day here in GA and my arthritic knee and back are already bothering me. It is definitely one of those days where all you want to do is lay in the bed and chill but no can do. Today is week 3 day 1 of the P90X program and the Chest and Back routine is complete. It's amazing what increasing your weights can do for a workout. I had been using 8 lb weights but today I began w/10 lbs. I could tell I could use heavier weights for some of the moves but since 10 lb weights were all I had I decided to also use my 3 lb weights for a total of 13 lb. I was definitely feeling the burn by the last 3 reps.

    Hope everyone has a great day! I will try to check in later.

    :smile: I'm back for round 2! No weight to lose, but I need to be accountable to someone to maintain and continue what I've started!

    I don't have any weight to lose either but perhaps I'll participate in order to be held accountable as well.
