Exercise challenge from 19th May

Hi jamrox great minds think alike LOL, since being diagnosed on the 25/3/14 / I have tried to do about 30 mins a day to get fit, by walking on going on my bike and lately using light weights to improve my self so iam in for defo, good luck with yours
 
This is so good, we are all gonna be running round in lycra by june
 
As I come to the last 5 days of the 5x50 challenge I start to think oh god why did I set up another challenge straight away ....then I realise that the reason I have to set a challenge is because I am naturally a couch potato but I can't be now so will complete the 5x50 challenge and then we will do 30 minutes exercise every day for 42 days then we'll all be smug and feel great.

Hi I added a photo but can't get it to go the right way up.
I am 48 . Weigh 160lb and 5"7'. Thought I would share but don't want anyone else to unless they want to.
I want to keep exercising cos it makes me feel better and Id like to loose 7lb to be 10st something. Sorry if Ive already said this.

I am purely for my own benefit. I'm going to do the exercise challenge for 2 months from May 12th to July 12th for now and when July comes around I might carry it on for another two months until September 12th as I go back to university on the 13th.

Fantastic. I was frightened that I would stop exercising once the 5x50 challenge so decided to challenge myself to do 30 minutes for 42 days . Then I wondered if others would like to join me and happily they are. It makes it easier because I will feel as if I ll let people and myself down if I don't.
Im on holiday after that and will be walking alot so once I get back I might join you until Sept.

Okay I'm in too - sorry I feel a bit of a fake as it's my hubby who has diabetes, but who can resist such a great initiative!

fake? no way! you are doing amazing things for us all, i am honoured to be a Team BG groupie
 
I am in too Jamrox - thanks for the great idea and the gentle nudge to get up and going - really needed that.

Also, the idea of reporting back every day would tend to 'keep me on my toes' in the literal sense ...

So, we will be speaking ...

annelise

- best of luck and encouragement to all participants - we will become a much fitter lot ...

You are a great support for your husband. Wish my husband was as supportive. He didn't eat sweet things until I was diagnosed. He honestly doesn't see that he isn't helping .

I have a few friends doing it who aren't diabetic. They are real people who I see a lot and friends on Facebook land ( who are real people I just haven't seen them in years lol) .
