September Challenge, burn 5,000 calories a week!

Seagazer

I'll play. :-)

And seagazer - that's incredible! Well done!

Thank you - not sure I will be able to walk at all tomorrow though!!

I've managed 1126 today - a 9 mile walk, along the cliffs and back again. Not bad considering I was in a wheelchair 10 months ago. I'm still using a crutch though.

Thats awesome! Today's the first day and you've already gotten over 1/5 of the week done!

Count me in. That's alot for me too, but I will try hard. This could be much fun -are we going to have a spreadsheet?

09/04: Total calories burned (how you did it) (start weight) & (weigh-in)
09/11: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)
09/18: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)
09/25: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)
10/02: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)

I would definitely like to take part in this challenge! I've been aiming for 1,000 calories burned at least 5 days a week, but haven't been reaching that goal... now I'll have more motivation to burn 5,000 a week. So far I've burned 940 calories today and still have a 4 mile walk/jog video to finish later tonight.

I'll be reaching this goal by doing a September Leslie Sansone indoor walking challenge that I've created and I am also creating a 30 day shred challenge starting Sept 1st (if anyone would like to join either to add to your calorie burn, please do)

Pretty new to MFP but this seems like a great challenge. Man am I glad I burned over 1000 calories yesterday:)
Excited to hear how everyone does and HOW they do it:)

I call it "The Beast." It eats calories and energy like no one's business!

Thinking of doing a long hike tomorrow, weather permitting.

Cheers,

Woohoo!! Hit my daily goal of 750 with a total of 782! It was split with walking the dog and the treadmill.

Looking forward to hearing everyone else's success stories!

I am in once my knee heals so I will get a late start. Missed a step coming down a ladder and kind of made it angry.

Hope it heals well, that sounds painful.

Monday : 1126 calories on a 9 mile walk
Tuesday: 707 calories on a 6 and a bit mile walk. I was very tempted to hitch a lift on a donkey when I was faced with the last incline.
I'm finding it a bit daunting if I am honest...

641 yesterday, running and walking. Twanged my calf so couldn't do my planned gym session. Off for a walk in a minute to see whether it's ok or needs resting.

If this thread goes up to 500 replies before the month is out, I will make a new thread called "September Challenge, burn 5,000 calories a week! (Part 2)"

We're already up to day 2 or 3 for some and have over 100 replies I'm glad so many people were interested!

that machine looks awesome! I wish I could use that, I love the elliptical and stationary bike, so combining them looks like an amazing workout.
