Disney52303 · 01-02-2013, 09:18 AM

Hope I can still join and I would love to reach 2013 minutes! For yesterday and (so far) today I am at

70/2013

pix13dust · 01-02-2013, 09:57 AM

30 minute walk

Total: 60/1100

ColoradoLime · 01-02-2013, 10:08 AM

Hi all. I'd like to join. Since I'm on Weight Watchers I'm used to doing monthly Activity Point challenges and trying to convert that to minutes is challenging for me. Lol.

So I'm going to start with an arbitrary 600 minutes and see what happens.

0/600

hops&dreams · 01-02-2013, 10:12 AM

Can I still join? if so, 840 for the month for me! I should meet that just completing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.

I've already shredded yesterday, so I've done 28/840. More later today, since I plan on doing my workout after I get home from work. (woke up late today)

I have finally updated the first post with everyone so far and their minutes through post #50. Thanks for your patience.

Love this idea of 2013 minutes. (And impressed because I can't fathom completing all of it!) We have a few of you aiming for 2013 - good luck!

I will aim for 1200.

Thanks for hosting, figment!

Thank you so much, Figment1990, for hostessing!

Good luck to everyone!

Good luck on your races!

I had that problem last month. I got injured and was looking at not making my goal and it was really hard to not push myself but I knew not making it was better than pushing myself and getting hurt worse. Take it easy. (And remember that 20 minutes of situps is still 20 min of exercise... I did a LOT of situps in December).

This is great, thanks for doing it. Trying to stay on track, we are going to be moving at least twice this year. The more good habits happen now the more likely they are to continue later...

Anyone have any good phone apps (android) for weight watchers? I just need something to figure out points and track them, nothing complicated. We aren't signed up "officially" for the program with the WW site, just doing it on our own.

I'm using Hal Higdon's winter maintenance running plan; I hope I don't keel over first.

Thanks for sharing this plan. I am currently researching new running plans and thinking of going with higdon.

Love JM... Only "problem" with it is that she gets such a hard workout in just a short amount of time. good for fitness, not good for Dis exercise challenges.

Keep up the great work everyone!

goldcupmom · 01-02-2013, 11:29 AM

I'm in for 2013 as well. I'm BACK, and VERY GLAD y'all have kept this up! Sorry I bailed for a LONG while. Details when I update my journal.

I'm not using the bodybugg anymore - got tired of paying for the service - , so not sure I'll meet the goal, but sure gonna try!

StitchIsOurHero · 01-02-2013, 12:20 PM

I'm in! The whole family got sick in December, then the holidays arrived December was a big blah. DH is still sick, but I am hoping I can get back to the exercising! My January goal is 600 minutes.

sPaRkLeSpAz · 01-02-2013, 12:36 PM

I really need to do this! Hmm, I think I want my goal to be 1500.

Figment1990 · 01-02-2013, 12:46 PM

I just wanted to post quickly that it is NOT too late to join - but I can't update the first post until tomorrow. So if you asked, YES, you can still join of course but if you don't see your name added yet, don't panic and don't skip your workout! LOL.

unbrelievable · 01-02-2013, 01:02 PM
