Knockouts "600 Minute March" Challenge



Recommended Posts

Way to go Amy!!! I'm hoping I can get in two more long walks before Monday night and join you in completing the goal. I really assumed 600 minutes would be a sinch. lol. Guess I underestimated, but it didn't help matters that my elliptical died 2 weeks into the challenge. I'm so distraught...I LOVED that machine. Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of getting a Bodybugg...anyone have one? Seems like a really cool thing to have to put things into perspective.

600 minutes was harder to do then I thought it would be too! I was cruising right along and then my baby girl got sick! I really need to get an exercise video for home or something because I don't seem to be creative enough to exercise on my own. I'm addicted to going to the gym! For the first time in my life I have actually been enjoying exercise!

Well, I just barely made it. I was able to make it down to the gym tonight and get in a 45 minute workout. I was so unmotivated today I had to force myself to go. But there was just no way I was going to fall under the 600 minutes! Thanks for doing the challenge you guys!

How did every one else do????

Okay, Tomorrow being Aprl 1, get me started on this challange. 600 minutes a week, or what? I guess I somehow missed the Challange particulars and want to do it for April. HELP

I think we should all pick a number of workouts to complete for April, that way we're not forced to meet a certain minutes criteria. For example: Hypothetically, I could exercise really hard for 15 minutes or take it easy for 45 minutes. Those 15 minutes might be a lot more effective than the 45 minutes. By doing workouts per month, we can decide how much time each session takes. Any thoughts?

Oh, well, I didn't make it. I'm not going to give excuses, just try to do it this next month. 3rd fill in 4 hours! Restriction please!

I forced myself to hit the pavement on Sunday (2x) and Monday night so I met the goal. Yipeee! Now, I seem to have the flu so thank goodness I made goal before this nastiness set in.

The number of workouts is a good idea...switching things up a bit.

NukeChick: Good luck with the fill!! The 3rd time was a charm for me indeed. I went back last week and opted to not get the 4th fill. I've been PB'ing some off and on, so until I learn to be more cautious with my initial bite size, I think I'm good.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
