I'm challenging myself to burn 10,000 calories in the month of July.

Anyone want to join me?

You can choose how ever many calories you want to burn and then every week on Friday's Check in with the Calories you've burned for the week!

    Awesome everyone! I will send you all reminders on July 1st and then on each Friday to log your calories burned for the week. If you want you can log them each day also...

    Ok everyone that has signed up so far I have created a spreadsheet that you can log your calories burned and after everyone has logged their calories I will post the totals each week.

    I'm still working on it...it didn't post the way I thought it would...

    Ok so far I have everyone on the list.

    Would you all prefer to do weekly logs or daily logs?

    I'll give it a shot! I will say 10,000 for now, but may change that once I get my HRM since I will be able to more accurately count the calories I'm burning :wink:

    I would love to try this. I need something to get me to move during those lazy day of summer.

    I am a newbie and would love to be apart of this challenge. Something to jumpstart my workout routine. I have gained so much motivation already from the people on this website and look forward to logging on each day. We are going to Garner State park the first week in August so this would definatly help me achieve my goal weight for this trip. i will stick with 10,000 burned because i am a newbie.

    Thanks for starting this.

    I got my hrm yesterday! It was a reward for finishing my first ever race...a 1/2 marathon inline skate! I was last but so proud of myself for finishing (and it didn't feel too embarrassing because it was also a 1/2 marathon run and all the runners still had to finish :happy: ). Anyway, it's a PolarFT60 and I am so excited to start logging my calories in July. Working towards running my first 5k on Sept 25th. Need to keep on running and get those calories burnin'!!!

    Good luck everyone!!!

    I'm in, too! My goal will be 10,000 and anything I do above that will be a bonus. I'm afraid to set my goal higher than 10,000, in case I fail and then I'll feel guilty and discouraged.

    Good luck, everyone!

    So does the 10,00 calories mean what you burn at the gym only or what you burn at the gym plus the calories that you did not consume each day??
