Anyone want to do a workout contest?? UPDATED - FM me your info if you want to join (see bottom of page 1 for info)!!!

So I just saw a post about a 10 week workout and thought it might be a fun idea to start a workout competition to see who can have the most results in a set amount of time (6, 8, 10 weeks - whatever).

Obviously we'd all have to be on the honor system, but I think it would be a great motivator! We should probably do it by inches instead of pounds....but maybe someone will have a suggestion....?

Anyone wanna do it????

I'm in. I'll do anything to try and lose weight. I used to be on this weght site a lot last yr. I lost 15lbs but gained it all back.

They had this exercise challenge every month. So for October you would have

900 mins - 30 mins a day.
1000 mins - that's 30 mins a day
1200 mins - 40 mins a day


Exercise counts as anything. IT could be walking, running, weights, etc. You keep track by posting your log everyday. It's a good motivator. I enjoyed doing it because it give you that extra push knowing you wanted to keep up with the other people.

We make an offical tread and you have a sign up sheet. There are different sections for each person becaues some girls might already be working out and some might be beginners.

Whatever amout of mins you sign up for, you have to complete it by the end of the month. IF you do you give youself a treat. Whatever you think you deserve. IF you dont complete it, you get nothing.

Everyone who signs up post there mins. at then end of the day and you would keep a tab on the tread to see who is doing well and who isnt.

It's really good because one - it makes you want to lose weight - you see other girls doing it and you get motivated. So if you come home one day and dont want to work out - all you have to do is look at this tread and see who's beating your butt.

:( im so down i gained 30 lbs in 1 yr this is CRAZY - i was so nice and thing

I feel your pain...I lost 120 lbs and now I've gained back like 50 lbs....my metabolism is shot from being a jerk when dieting...aka not eating...this would help me so much!

i'll play!
but serioiusly... if we could have 'most weight gained while trying to lose it' award i'd appreciate it!

Abby - do you have an example of what the sheet would look like?

I can make something in excel...

How do we determine who gets 800, 900, or 1000 minutes?

And then after you do that time, do we post what you've lost for that month? And is it in lbs or in inches?

I'm In. I will wake up early just to cover my work out
I need some motivation. Ive been dieting but its not enough.

You can be in charge of keeping up to date with everyone.

1. sign up here if you are interested and we will update

2. there are 5 sections
750 mins. - that's only 25 mins a day.
900 mins. - 30 mins a day
1000 mins. - 33 mins a day
1200 mins. - 40 mins. a day.
1500 mins. - 50 mins. a day.

Pick you section depending on your current workout schedule now. obviously the less fit you are, you will want to start with the lowest one.

3. The workouts can be anything physical. Running, walking, mowing the lawn, dvd workout. Anything you think that is going to feel accomplished.

4. Keep track of your time and post your accumalative totals daily or weekly whichever you prefer.

5. remember this wont work unless you follow a healthy diet also.

Inches are a better indicator but are we all honestly going to measure ourselves...prob not...maybe we can log workout minutes and pounds....?

---

HOW ABOUT we do all of it, say how many inches, how many pounds and workout minutes
