Good morning! It's that time again! Our weekly challenge!
Last week challenge was a success and the following people met the goal of exercising 100minutes:
Lostinmotivation
Tammy (fatpal1)
Sarita66
Melissa (lissa0040)
Congrats! :happy:
Where is everyone else? Let's beef this challenge up! We have over a 100lbs to lose and getting moving is key to our success. So if you are new and just starting out your goal can be 100 minutes of exercise for the week.
If you feel ready we are upping the ante! This week's challenge is 200minutes of exercise. And instead of telling us when you are finished-- how about giving us a total for the week so we can have a leader board!
Your 200 minutes can be in any form of exercise you can walk your dog around the block, attend a yoga class, walk on the treadmill, jog, zumba, whatever you can do! BUT your minutes have to be INTENTIONAL movement. You cannot count working a shift and being on your feet all day. Extra movement! The time you dedicate outside of your normal duties to move your body!
Let's get it done!

Hi all,
I have not logged into this group yet but I am happy to report that I have over 300 minutes this week already - about 200 of those minutes are from actual sweat it up exercise and the rest is from running around my house doing my mom duties (cooking, cleaning, etc).0 -
Hello! Looks like everyone is trucking along swimmingly! Welcome startraveller to our little group nice to meet you! That is awesome that you have met the goal!
I have 120minutes in! I am STRUGGLING this week with motivation. It has been so hot and uncomfortable here and it is just beginning the warm weather season. Maybe I should look at it like the gym is the place I go to get some air conditioning!
Hope everyone is doing well glad to see the board coming alive!0 -
As a New Englander my heart does not ache for those of you in warm weather country (lol). We were lucky to get out of the 50's this week. I went to the gym to keep warm! Fortunately it pays off. I hit 206 minutes at the gym so far this week. Keep up the good work everyone! We do get hot weather around here. It usually last for about three days in July.
All kidding aside Melissa I understand how tough it is to get exercising when it is really hot outside. Hang in there and don't give up. Does your gym have a pool? Maybe you could switch up your routine.0 -
Hello peeps,
60 min of zumba last night put me at 240...yay!!!!! Thought I would be soo exhausted I would drop after I showered and went to bed, but no luck!! It was sooo hot and our a/c is broke, made it a very long hot night (and not in a good way..hehehehhe) Oh well right TGIF, hoping to grab a nap before going out dancing with my hubby tonight, course I know that is just wishful thinking, naps never work, kids always need something..lol The price of being mommy Hope you all have a great weekend. Rememer to get your mind in the right place and then everything else seems to follow. Lots of luck!! Tammy 0 -
Thanks for the encouragement! I have in 140minutes and I am going to do another hour tonight so I will make the 200 goal later. I live in Ohio so it is weird for it to be this hot here already. Just hot and sticky. All of you are doing awesome! I hope you have a great Friday!0

Ok I got in another 45 minutes in the gym today. My grand total 251 minutes. Now I just wish the scale could move that fast! Great job everyone!0

Hey that's pretty exciting that I accidentally hit a challenge! LOL.
I'm at 150 at the moment in Cardio only.
However that said - I do weight lifting and that takes the half hour of cardio up to an hour each time. Which means I'm at 240 at the moment.0 -
total 415 0
