Also, if everyone could use the (total so far/goal) format, that would be great! Meaning, if you have done 200 minutes so far and your goal is 1000 minutes for the month, it would look like 200/1000. You can just add a post to this thread, no need to PM me, but it's your choice.

My buddie, Sunny, has designed a cute clippie for us. You can add it to your signature by adding this link (below). Just change the first and last {} to [] and you should be all set! It looks like this:

Lastly, at your 1/2 way mark, I will change your color to royal blue. At goal, to yellowgreen. And, over goal, to magenta. So, come on WISHers exercise March away and bring April in fitter!

Happy Exercising! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

[boolou]

Count me in. Maybe it will help bolster that motivation!

[autumnblue]

[Tera]

Please add me too. I'm going for 2000 again and this month I will get it :cool1:

Ok- so this is my first exercise challenge and I have a silly question. Do we post our progress here, or on the daily exercise threads?

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Jay-nee :)

Linda

[Disneyglobegirl]

Good morning - my first friday check in for March - I'm at 297/1000 :cool1:

[keenercam]

Linda -- Of COURSE it counts!!! You should get a pedometer! I bet you'd be shocked at how many miles you cover.
Have a fabulous trip!

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I would like to join too. My goal will be 1000


thanks a bunch!

[keenercam]

My first 3 days of March netted me 14.5 miles, an upper body workout and 150 minutes. My 5K walk is tomorrow, so no exercise tonight. Have a great, active weekend, everyone!

[MickeySP]

So far I am at 135/1000.

This makes me feel so good. :cool1:

[boolou]

My Friday count is 195/1000. Thanks for running this whole thingy!

[TinkerBelle_325]

Saw this yesterday and meant to post, worked out for 65 minutes yesterday so that would put me at 65/1000 so far :) Count me in!

[rcyannacci]

My count for Friday is 170/1000!

I'm doing better than I thought! This is my first challenge, and it's really motivating!

[sarahsmom73]

Yes it counts!!! :cool1:

[autumnblue]

My count as of Friday in 180/1000.


Thanks

Autumn

[mickeyholic]

I would also like to join for 1000/month

[TinkerBelle_325]

Worked out for another 65 minutes today :) 25 minutes on the elliptical, 30 minutes of weights and 10 minutes of ab work :)

[KimRaye]

Since several of you have posted a Friday total, I shall follow suit. I'm at 141/500. :Pinkbounc

[sarahsmom73]

I'm 120/1200 for the 1st 4 days (3/1-3/4)

[Figaro1]

230/1000


Only 770 minutes to go....... :banana:

[NYcpa]

As of yesterday 86/1000. Don't count PT time.

Better get moving if I want to reach 1000 :banana: :banana:

[TinkerBelle_325]

im at 150 minutes total :) after my 65 at the gym yesterday I did 20 minutes of weights and crunches

[keenercam]

Walked my 5K this morning in under 55 minutes. That is probably going to be my only exercise today, but it puts me over 200 minutes for the first 5 days of March. Keep up the great work everyone!

[MelanieC]

Count me in for 1200 min in March.

I have 120/1200 so far as of today-3/5/05.

[Debbie]

Please may I join? I love the clippie! I didn't make the weight thing in February, so I'd like to up my physical. If I could make a goal of 700 minutes, I think that I can make that, even with RL junk cutting in. I've done 120 minutes so far this week, so that is a start!

[TinkerBelle_325]

30 mintes of Pilates this morning :) that brings me up to 180 minutes

[AuroraluvsPhillip]

Hi,
I'd like to join the Challenge even though I'm a week behind. Put me down for 750 minutes. I start weight training up again tonight! :cool1:

[NYcpa]

48 min on stationary bike. Gives me 259/1000. :cool1: :cool1:

[CarolA]

Well, I am a late starter, but I am going to try for 1,000 minutes. Cross your fingers!

[gemanda]

I'm a late starter, but I plan on stretching for that 1000 :cheer2:

[Sandy22]

Another late starter here! Started today: 30 minutes done on a goal of 500.

Thanks!

[Jane E.]

Yikes! I didn't send you my totals on Friday. I've put it on my calendar from now on. I have 115 minutes added to my 65 minutes already listed for a total of 180 minutes for last week. (180/1000) Thank you!

[TinkerBelle_325]

I worked my butt off this weekend, I'm up to 275/1000! :)

:cheer2: :cheer2:

Plus I had a non-scale victory today. My jeans usually fit a lil snug around the waist after they've been washed, you know, when they're all stiff. Well it looks like the pilates and crunches have been paying off in inches if not in pounds because today they were LOOSE when i pulled them on after they had been washed! I know its a bit silly, but it made me feel great

[KimRaye]

I know its a bit silly, but it made me feel greatNot silly at all!! You SHOULD feel GREAT!!!! :cheer2: CONGRATS!!!! Did you measure when you started? You could measure now, and keep positive with inches lost, when the scale isn't budging. ;) I never measured anything, and I regretted it. :guilty:

:sunny:

[Zoesmama03]

So far not doing so well. I have TOM right now and have been so lazy not wanting to exercise. Was gonna go to gym last night but all my stretchie workout style pants were in washer. :guilty: I know not excuse but still.

I did walk for 90 minutes at mall so I will say 90/1000 so far this month. Gonna try to make it to the gym tonight though but I'll add that on next check in.

I have set this as my home page finally so I see it when I get on and don't sidetrack from my weight loss goals. I scheduled in my workouts and gonna get up early this week on 3 days to do dvds or walk outside. The other 2-3 days gonna go to gym. My trial membership ends 12th and I can't afford a membership right now so won't have access to gym after the 12th.

[TammyNC]

Way to go everyone on all of this exercising that we are doing. My total so far is 210/1000. I am planning on getting some of my minutes over the weekend from walking on the beach. :cool1:

Have a wonderful evening everyone!

[Zoesmama03]

Okay I decided to do WATP while kiddos napped. 45 minutes added to that 90 minutes so I'm 135/1000 as of today. :) :cool1:

[perfectmatch300]

I see that I missed the Friday update. I'll try to remember to post on Thurs night from now on so the info will be there on Fridays.

For my first 7 days in March I have 700/2000 min exercised. It's been a busy week! :banana:

Here's what I did:

3/1 - 150 min - walking
3/2 - day off
3/3 - 30 min - strength & flexibility exercises
3/4 - 240 min total exercised
90 min - bowling
150 min - walking
3/5 - 100 min - bicycle
3/6 - 90 min - walking
3/7 - 90 min total exercise
40 min - swimming
50 min - walking

[jay-nee]

I have just done a mid-week update to the list, so I think I have everyone updated now. I'm going to just try and keep up a few times weekly.

Sounds like most of us are on the right track so far and there is plenty of time still (it's a long month ;) ) if you haven't started yet.

Exercise is the key, I can tell you from personal experience. Also, some of my best workouts are on the days that I REALLY don't feel like working out, those should count double IMHO. :teeth:

So, WISHers, keep up the tremendous work! We'll get there together!

(BTW, has anyone found spring yet? We're supposed to have snow again today! ARGH! :cold: I bet it's beautiful anywhere south of here...right? Like WDW! I'd love to be in a pool soaking up the sun right now... :sunny: )

Happy Tuesday! :flower: :flower:

[plutosmyfav]

Hello :)

Please update me for 845/2500

Thanks!

Sunny

[keenercam]

[TinkerBelle_325]

Woohoo im up to 340/1000!!!!

[rcyannacci]

As of Tues. (3/8), I'm up to 310/1000! This is so motivating! I feel like I can control the amount of exercise I do, as opposed to the amount of weight I lose...can't get any consistency on that yet.

[Goofydiane]

Here is my exercise update:

March 2: 110 minutes
March 3: 90 minutes
March 4: 11 Hours of walking at disneyland :)
March 5: 75 minutes + 8 hours of walking at disneyland :)
March 8: 110 minutes

MTD Total: 485/1500

Diane

[flipperjc]

Please add me!! I need some serious motivation to get a moving and knowing I will have a goal will get me to do it. Thanks!!

Jen

[Disneyglobegirl]

418 for this week - For a total of 715/1000 :cool1: I believe I am going to have to up my goal - I will see how I do this coming week and I will prob up it at next check in.

[chrismiss56]

Morning to all

Put me down for 200/100 this week which gives me a grand total of 435/100. Have a bad head cold so not moving to well:(:(

QUESTION OF THE MOMENT - Going to WDW for 4 days next week. With all the walking that goes on there how do I count that? Not sure.

Thanks!!

Have a magical Disney Day!!

[Jane E.]

Good morning! This week I got in a total of 220/1000 added to my 180/1000 equals 400/1000. Thanks, Jay-nee!

[keenercam]

My total through last night 3/10 is 395/1000 minutes and 36.6/70 miles.

[jay-nee]

QUESTION OF THE MOMENT - Going to WDW for 4 days next week. With all the walking that goes on there how do I count that? Not sure.

You know everyone does this differently. I just said 30 minutes a day, but we also swam 4 times during our trip and walked everywhere we could, instead of busing or boating, etc. Some folks actually log in all of their walking time, I just wasn't that organized and I knew that I had done 30 minutes of brisk walking each and everyday, so I figured that would be fair. BTW, I ended up losing 5.5 lbs at WDW in January, so very, very cool!

Have a great vacation...wish I were going too... still hoping for our trip in Sept, but we're not sure that will happen yet. Have fun, fun, fun! (hey, give Tigger and Goofy a big hug for me, ok?) :teeth:

[Zoesmama03]

Okay I did 3 mile WATP today so 45 minutes plus 135 from before is 180/1000 minutes. :) :cheer2: Moving along gotta bump it up a bit to make up for the missed days I had Tuesday thru Thursday when I was sick. And for earlier this month I had a slow start.

[rcyannacci]

As of Friday (3/11), I'm at 430/1000! I leave for vacation on Sunday, so I might not get as much done next week, so I'm glad I pushed this week! Let's hope drinking some beer on the beach doesn't do too much damage ;)

[perfectmatch300]

As of Friday 3/11 I am at 910/2000 min.

I ahven't felt well this week, so I missed 2 days of exercise. I still have 3 more days till the 14th though, which is the end of the 2nd full week. I have my work cut out for me to stay on track, but I know I can do it! I hope it's not as windy as it has been the past few days. I want to get back on my bike because I can go for longer on it than I can walking since it's low impact.

[KimRaye]

:banana: WooHoo, everyone's just MOVING along! :banana:

Ok, so it's not Monday, but I'm posting my total anyway. ;) After taking Sat & Sun off, I exercised Mon, Wed & Thurs for 132 minutes, taking me to 273/500. Over the 1/2 way mark for me. :sunny:

May I say, that although I'm on maintenance, I NEED these challenges to reach even the minimal goal I set, but can I add that I GOT to maintenance by doing the 1,000 min challenges along the way? ;) Yep! WISH has been EVERYTHING for me along this journey, and along with my new way of eating, WISH is a daily ritual as well! :grouphug: Thank you ALL!!! :cloud9:

[sarahsmom73]

My update is 444/1200!

[jay-nee]

KimRaye...I so totally agree with your statement about these challenges making all the difference in the journey. That is why when I didn't see one posted for March, I decided to bite the bullet.

The challenges keep me motivated when I have no self-motivation. I just think, well I just have to do it. Ironically, some of my best workouts occur when I feel the least like doing it.

Occassionally, I take a real day off, but most of the days each week, I do my minimum of 30 minutes on bike. If I feel up to it, I will do 20 minutes of pilates after or 15 minutes of Bowflex after biking. I'm trying to make pilates and Bowflex more of a habit, but if I just do the biking alone, I still feel great!

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents! Hope everyone is enjoying the challenge as well! :sunny:

BTW, 3 of us have made the 50% mark already, they are: plutosmyfav, Disneyglobegirl, and KimRaye! Way to go!

[norma1223]

I forgot to check in last week, but I have been getting my minutes in. I'm 418/1100.
I agree 100% about these challenges helping with motivation. I'm also in maintenance and I know I have to keep exercising to maintain my weight. Setting a goal for the month and having to be accountable helps me stay motivated.

[plutosmyfav]

[NYcpa]

Didn't exercise much last week. I'm at 308/1000. Have to get moving to make my goal.

Good luck to everyone.

I just wanted to post because I hit the halfway point today. I really feel like I can do this.

Autumn

[clr1194]

Boy I'm behind! I only exercised 113 minutes last week taking me to 273/700 for the challenge so far. I will get back on track this week.

[keenercam]

Just wanted to pop in to say I am at 555/1000 minutes and 56.6/70 miles.

[autumnblue]

I just wanted to let you know what a great job you are going with this.

Thanks

For my birthday I received my first sinus infection and missed FIVE days of work and exercising!!!! Boy, it really wipes you out.

[jay-nee]

I just wanted to let you know what a great job you are going with this.

Thanks

Autumn


Thanks Autumn! You're very sweet to say so. I'm trying to keep up with everyone, so far so good, I think... Hope I haven't missed anyone's update...

Hope you're having a good March! It's finally starting to feel like Spring here, and I am so very grateful for that! :sunny:

[keenercam]

[KimRaye]

Well, since I don't see myself exercising the next 2 days (at least), I'll post my measly update...... 352/500. :blush: (Maintenance can be boring, and lonesome sometimes.) :sad2:

Everyone's doing SOO GREAT!!! :banana: :cool1: Keep on movin'!!! :cheer2: :sunny:

[jay-nee]

past 1/2 way! Alot of folks have met their 1/2 way goal - well on their way to make goal.

Remember that this is a long month and if you are behind, just add a few minutes more each day and be consistent and you will make goal still!

Keep up the great work everyone!

P.S. KimRaye - you are inspiration to us of all! Your exercise maintanence goal will be the key to staying at your ideal weight. Weigh to go girl! Keep up the terrific work! ;)

[perfectmatch300]

Thanks for updating me, jay-nee! :cool1:

KimRaye, you don't have to be lonesome just because you're doing maintenence! You're still an important part of our group! I for one have always had the hardest time with maintenence, so it's important for me to see you showing me that it can be done! I'm tired of losing the same weight over & over. I need your inspiration to know that I can keep it off!

[Jane E.]

I've been sick with the flu today and yesterday. Monday and Tuesday were the only workout days with 140 minutes (70 apiece). My March total now stands at 540/1000.
Thanks for updating Jaynee.

[TinkerBelle_325]

yay!! Im up to 535/1000, over halfway there ;)

[KimRaye]

Awwww, thanks jay-nee and Nancy. :blush:

I didn't really mean that I'm lonely, but my lowly numbers seem lonely, and unexciting. ;) I couldn't possibly be lonely, with all you wonderful LOSER WISHers around. :grouphug: I don't see myself ever NOT being a WISHer. :goodvibes

Keep on movin' everyone! :cool1: :banana: and let's not forget this crazy guy :dancer: !!! :crazy:

:sunny:

[Disneyglobegirl]

You are doing an awesomw job Jay-nee! Thanks for starting this challenge - I've been doing great with the exercise however I need to get on the ball with my eating - LOL I've been at a stand still with weight loss but I am still going to keep trying :flower2:

Add 290 for this week for a total of 1005/1000 :jumping1: However I think I will up my goal to 1500 now - so I am 1005/1500. :flower:

Keep it up everyone - everyone is doing great!!!!

[TammyNC]

I have been steadily exercising, but I am needing to start pushing myself a little more. I am 540/1000 for the month so far. I am going to talk to DH about us getting out and walking together in the afternoon's. I would like to walk outside, but there isn't really a good place to go alone and I don't have anyone else around that is interested in walking together. Going to drive a couple of routes this weekend and see what we can come up with.

Way to go everyone for all the hard work so far this month. Keep it up.

[rcyannacci]

As of Friday 3/18, I'm at 590/1000. I went to the beach this week, and did a lot of walking, but not a lot of exercise to get my heart rate up. I'll be catching up this next week.

[Zoesmama03]

360/1000 as of yesterday. Have not completed todays workout so I will update later today or add it on to next weeks. :cool1:

editted to add my 30 minutes of Tae Bo today. :)

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Jay-nee

I've made goal! :cool1: 2540/2500!!!!

Sunny

[TinkerBelle_325]

yay!! I'm at 600/1000

:jumping1:

[perfectmatch300]

I'm now at 1675/2000. I'm past the 3/4 mark with plenty of time left in the month. I'm not planning to change my goal, just trying to see how much I can beat it by! Fortunately, the friends who have been down to see us this month have been walkers, so I've been able to exercise several times when I didn't expect to be able to! That has helped to get my total higher than it usually is by now. :sunny:


Sunny, a big congrats on making your goal already! :dancer:

Good for you, Disneyglobegirl, you've made your original goal, but now it's higher! You rock! :rockband:

[norma1223]

I think I'm on target to meet my goal. My updated totals are 693\1100. :cool1:

[sarahsmom73]

[quackattack]

:rolleyes2
I finally made it half way-- 509/1000.
:hourglass
I had better get on the ball. Time is running out this month.

We have some remodeling going on at our house and my exercise equipment is packed away. The good news is that after the remodeling is complete, my exercise equipment and DVDs will have a permanent home.

I had better get going, I have not exercised yet today and I will be working until 9PM tomorrow night. Chances are slim that I will exercise tomorrow. :rolleyes1

[TinkerBelle_325]

Yay! I'm at 740/1000. Im so proud of myself because I actually ENJOY going to the gym now. I'm seeing changes in my body, im toning down, I'm losing inches as well as pounds and every day im getting one step closer to my goal for my WDW trip in May! :)

[rcyannacci]

As of Wed. 3/23, I'm at 765/1000. I think I'm on target to reach the goal. :)

Jay-nee thanks so much for running this challenge for us. It has been motivating me to get up & get my workout done each day. My computer is currently internetless - it refuses to go online for some reason. (I'm at the library right now.), so if I don't post that doesn't mean I've stopped working out. Thanks for the challenge each week!

[perfectmatch300]

As of Sun 2/27, I'm at 2290/2000! :cool1:

I actually went over goal on 3/24, but it seems like every time I have tried to go online since then, the thunderstorms started up again! :umbrella:

I'm still moving! I want to see how far over goal; I can go by the end of the month! :moped: :teeth:

[boolou]
