Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted April 16, 2016 I just signed up for a community fitness challenge. There are two components. One is to meet a fitness goal every week (in terms of minutes exercised), and one component is a weight loss challenge. I usually avoid weight loss challenges, but since there are prizes involved for participating I decided to sign up. I am only competing with myself. I had the official weigh in at my wellness center yesterday and I was weighed and then she had me use the body fat analyzer. My body fat still doesn't register on the machine which errors out if your body fat is over 50%. So, my primary goal for this challenge is to be under 50% so I register on the machine. I also set my fitness minute goal at 3 hours a week (which I thought of as more a minimum). I was able to log over five hours of swimming this week in spite of the fact that it has been A very busy (for me) week. As an aside, I am using a Misfit Shine fitness tracker to track my swimming (laps, duration, etc) and I hit 150 miles swimming this week since I started using it. What are your fitness goals?

Elode 8,093 Posted April 16, 2016 Congratulations! I don't have any fitness goals. My goal is just to recover right now but maybe once I'm healed I will set some. I'm ready to get out of this bed and be active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted April 16, 2016 @@Inner Surfer Girl Congratulations! 150 miles swimming is fantastic. I love to swim but haven't been able to for this last year. I cannot wait until I can but I know I would never come close to 150 miles in one week. Nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

losergrl75 277 Posted April 16, 2016 My first fitness goal is to walk a 10k on April 30th. My next on will be to run a 5k trying to decide what time frame to give myself. Sent from my XT1565 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my XT1565 using the BariatricPal App I don't foresee running at any time in my future but I definitely want to be able to walk a 5k and then a 10k in the relatively near future.
