That’s great Kathleen! Happy to have you and your daughter join in! The last competition was fun & motivated us to stay focused! I think adding prizes along the way competitors can win will make this one even more fun!

Hi Linda:

Discovered this from your recent Facebook post and think it’s a great idea. My 15-year-old daughter and I have just been getting started on a spring walking and weight training regime to add to winter yoga, so we’d have fun participating in your group. I’ll do the sign-up today. If you still want guest bloggers, I’d love to make a comment or two once in a while!

Wii Fit
Walk! Walk! Walk!
Zumba! dance party DVDs & Yoga Booty Ballet DVDs are some of my absolute favorites!
Could we maybe figure out a way to have a web based dance party? Like, the host gets a webcam and some great music and just laugh and have fun together?

1. I like the idea of being able to track exercise. I wish we could store it on our daily food intake.
Amount of exercise coupled by food log should demonstrate weight reduction. All this would be on an honour system naturally. Downfall is that non members don’t have access to the food log sheet right?
2. I am not ‘in’ for charging a fee since I am a registered member of OL I pay a monthly fee – unless you want to make it a benefit of membership and charge a small fee to non members?
3. I do like the idea of prizes. Day at a local spa would be heaven! A trip down to see you would be fun. Who ever the 1st place person is could be weighed on arrival to verify his/her reportings. I also hear alot about wii fit and a one stepper (exercise equipment).
4. I already try to add ideas/motivation like many other members also do.
5. This support system 24/7 is proving to be especially helpful to me in being able to be accountable to myself. I am amazed that cognitively it is so much easier for me to watch what I put in my mouth since I have to come to the puter and record it.

I like the 100hours of phitness idea. I’m assuming this will be month long, so 100 is pretty high target for most. We just have to keep it simple, since not everyone has access to same equipment. Perhaps we do miles/steps, that can be from walking, treadmill, etc. Then some for hours on WiiFit/P90X(or whatever it is), not sure we can specify which activity, just perhaps using a game type device or DVD. No, the more I think about it – should be time only. How else will we compare miles/steps to things like hours on abs machine.

Okay, I vote for 100 hours.

Personally, don’t want to get prizes involved, I’m really trying to do these things for my own good, as opposed to someone dangling a carrot in front of my nose. That’s part of MY lifestyle change though, since food has always been a reward, and I’m trying so hard to change that mentality.

But, as always, I’ll go with the flow. If the rest of our pholks prefer a prize system, I’ll still be in.

Thanks again for organizing and providing all the tools Linda, it really helps make it more fun.
