yay Pam! planks are a pain, but it sure beats the burpies which i could never understand how they helped with anything. i am sure i did them wrong. LOL
that is a great extra incentive. so are you tracking pounds or bmi? i am not sure i can commit as i dont like getting on the scale that often. 
but yay you are joining!

Hi all!
love that we are all supporting each other with this.
‘here is my weekly update:
each day 3 sets of 20 wall pushups done
4 trails completed this with around 55k steps for the week
1 Yoga training - so I’m still not meeting my 2 minimum for the week. Gotta work on that.
go get em everyone!

I'm in. I am starting easy to build good habits.
Goal: 4x per week I will:
1. Walk on treadmill 20 mins
2. Planks: 1 Minute of planks (3 x 20 seconds). I hate planks, but they are good for the core.
3. 20 wall pushups
AWESOME!!! These are GREAT GOALS! I don't have a treadmill but walking is walking when you are initially so out of shape...and so is dancing or anything that MOVES the body for 20 mins or more. (4 min average song is 5 songs to really groove out too and you have the 20 mins!) 
Wall pushups can be REALLY HARD if you go for the max resistance which is how I am doing mine!
Planks are still a threat to me... I will try to work into them...gotta break thru on that... but nope...not yet.

Hey girl... YES ITS SUPER NICE to recognize what others have done and of course it helps to keep ourselves accountable. Since we are ALL ON THE SAME TRIP...we are literally in the same boat! Your goals look great! I can see Pam and others are inspiring others.... YEA

Good job Tami!
A little birdie told me Pam and Sandra are IN!!! I'll let them tell their plans!
Sandra and I are planning to add a little incentive to help motivate us to achieve our goals. We plan to see who can lose the greatest % of body weight. We are putting in approximately $2 per week in between now and the trip. Since the trip is a little more than a year away, we figured we would round to $100.
That is a great idea! How does the pot work? If one reaches the goal they win the $200 pot or if you both reach your goals you each win $100?
On a roll now.....

Let me see how I can translate apple watch exercise data to pc.
If you need help with your apple watch, I've got one and can help. Let me know what your goals are per week and I'll add you to the activity log! Good luck!

I officially started yesterday.
3/8 & 9 - walked 30 minutes on treadmill, did 25 wall pushups and 2 sets of planks
I’m with Pam, I hate planks.
I plan to do this the rest of this week, then will increase walk time, reps on wall push-ups and, maybe planks. Did I mention I hate planks?

This is AWESOME Sandra! Super proud of you! Don't worry about increasing too soon. Getting to where the current levels are easy is the goal and THEN increase.
ps. I think planks are better than squats...I can get down...just can't get back up. Yeah that's how weak my legs have become.

Whoever loses the most % by the trips gets the $200. I suppose if we tie, then we each get our money back and buy beer for each other!

Yes, I hate burpies much more than planks! We are tracking % pounds loss for the challenge, but I am also tracking my BMI.
Technically you only have to get on the scale twice - Once to start, and once at the end! 
Glad to be here with the group! Very nice to have support and accountability.
