Mini Challenges!

So, with a good few weeks ahead of us I thought we could all possibly participate in a couple mini challenges just to keep us going! I've listed a few ideas and figured you could all either suggest your own or tell me if there's anything you don't like for whatever reason!? 
Let me know what you think!
- Burn 1000*: Make it our goal to burn 1000 calories more than we usually do that week. That's walking slowly for 40 minutes (200lb) to 1 hour (127lb) a day. It takes even less time to swim it off, or something even more active. This could easily be 500 calories. *MFP counter.
- Recipe Challenge: Have a recipe and photos of a healthy meal you made that week including it's calorie content*. *Can be found using the MFP Recipe section.
- Possibly having Soup Saturdays, Meat-free Mondays, etc. to inspire us to eat more variety.
Let me know what you think!

I enjoy challenges like pushups ir squats everyday for a week. I suggest doing a time frame like a minute and see how many ypu can get up to doing by the end of the week0

I like the balance of having both an activity and a food challenge...could also be something simple like "try a new fruit or veggie and share with the group".0

Really loving the ideas! @LoeshaElizabeth I've had a look and I think this will maybe be great to do one week as a 'see how far you can go each day' because of the bar along the right! It looks like a great video workout actually 0

Just incase anyone is new to mfp I'll put the mini challenges up on the Announcement board each week
