STAC Exercise and Weight Loss Challenge

[peacefuljourney]

Hi all,

Count me in. I'd love to join you. It's a good length of time too. S-

[tangotori]

Okay... so I'm checking in...

I'm part of another challenge with weigh-ins on Tuesdays - so I'll make Tuesdays my weigh-in day for this challenge, too.

My starting weight for this challenge is 210 pounds.

Goals:

Full Challenge = 12 pounds lost forever (approximately 2 pounds a week)

Week 1 Exercise Goals =
Morning, 5 days/week: Walk to the train, walk from the bus to work = 20 mins
Evening, 2 days/week: Walk home from the train up a horrible San Francisco style hill - argh! = 20 mins
Evening, 2 days/week: On the days I walk up the hill, I'll continue the workout at home with fitness-ball exercises for 1/2 hour
Saturday: workout - Slim in 6 video series

Week 1 Weight-Loss Goal:
My weight loss goal for this week is 3 pounds (1 pound more then my average)

Daily Goals:

= I've already walked to the train/work, briskly (felt great!) - so that goal is complete.
= I can't walk home from the train today because I have to stop at the grocery store and will have bag(s) to carry so will take the bus. Tommorow!
= I'm horrible with my water. I've already had about 30oz of water so far today - I commit to drinking a full 100oz by the end of the day.

Now I have to go pee

Good luck everyone... let's hear your Challenge, week and daily goals!!
Then check in with your daily goals and an update on how you're doing.
And of course, your weekly weigh-in (or measure-in)

Have fun with this everyone!!

I'm in! I really need to get in on as many challenges as possible since I'm trying to hit One-derland by July! It might not happen, but at least I know I did my darnedest to get there!

Thanks for the challenge!

ok, for the week (so I don't forget to update, I'll do it all now):

100 oz water every day
4 hours of skating
callanetics (I haven't timed it yet, but I think it's 20-60 minutes)

yesterday, I had closer to 120 oz of water, and did callanetics = 20 minutes.

Remember we are starting tomorrow. I need everyones weight loss goals so I can compile my list.

I will check back later and get mine on as well.

scratch the 4 hours of skating. I'm too sick, 2 hours of it would have been tonight.

I have been on Atkins a few times but this is my first challenge so I hope I am doing this right.

Here are my goals....

I will drink 100 oz of water each day.
I will do some form of cardio for an hour 4x a week and do some form of weight training 3x a week.

Also, every Saturday I am helping my Grandma with some form of exercise, mostly resistance bands, and very mild cardio. Not much of a workout but hey, it's better than sitting on the couch, right?

Last but not least I will do 100 crunches everyday!!!

I really need to have a big drop in weight because I am going on vacation in May.

[steady as she goes]

ok, weight loss goal, let's go with 10 lbs.

Do my "full" and "week 1" goals listed in my post above work for you, Julie?

I would like to join in but I am not allowed to exercise (and I am missing it) as I had an operation on 7 Feb and have to wait six weeks.
I wish you all lots of success and look forward to STAC challenge #2! Zx
