Who is up for a challenge in Sept??? My friend MissKim and I are going to do a challenge in Sept. We both came up with a realistic but challenging number of minutes we have to log for the month. I am going to shoot for 1200 minutes which is about 5 days a week at 60 minutes each. Kim is doing 765 minutes, comes out to about 4 days a week at 45 minutes each. Who else wants to join us?

Hopefully each month we can keep up the motivation and create new challenges to keep us all motivated.

    Hi all,

    I am going with 1,000 minutes too. It's a good round number. So that is 225 minutes a week.

    Thanks,

    I'm in!!! I kinda but myself on a challenge like this but i started yesterday (since Sept 1 is at the end of the week)

    I'm shooting for about 1200 for the month of Sept ( the next 5 weeks) 45mins for 5 days.

    Will that still work if i started earlier?

    I look forward to working this challenge with everyone. Trying to keep up my motivation espeically now that I am almost where I want to be physically but I want to stay here so can't start slumming now. Good Luck everyone!

    Since this is the first challenge I have done, does anyone know if there is a way to create a group or something with all the participants? I haven't had to chance to play around and see if that is possible but I will before Thursday.

    I am so glad we got a good group. I think we have 19 people in this challenge. I am so glad we will all have extra motivation and hopefully giving ourselves that number will keep us motivated. I have a spreadsheet started just need to figure out if there is a way to create a group on MFP.

    I am thinking each Monday we should post what we have done for the prior week? Does that sound good? I chose Monday's only cause MFP weeks I think are Monday-Sunday. The first post would only be for 4 days but after that it would be a week.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE and have fun! I know we will all do our best! :)

    If anyone has not friended me on MFP and would like too. The way I see it the more motivation the better.

    Count me in. I've slacked a little the week before last, and didn't work out at all last week. Need to get moving to keep up the progress! My goal, 1200. That's just over 54 minutes a day 5 days a week.

    God bless!

    I am a little behind, but should be able to catch up this weekend. Hopefully, I will get my ticker updated to show how many minutes I really do have. It won't looks so bad then.

    Happy Friday! May we all have good weekends for food, exercise and life.
