I'd like to try this, but I just joined myfitnesspal and October is nearly over.
Will it continue into November? It's a great idea!

I made it! But just barely--I had trouble motivating myself to exercise enough this last week of the challenge. But I scored in my regular categories of work-related activities like carpentry, moving boxes, etc and also did a variety of walking speeds. Anyway, I got to 5003 calories somehow, as shown below.

10/24/2011 226 727 363.5

*Although I was just shy of goal this week I am pretty proud of myself. I was on a cruise ship 4 out of the 7 days this week and still almost burned 5000 calories! I ate like a starving person hence the 1 pound gain. I think I'll start another thread for November...might as well keep this up until Christmas! Great job, everyone! )
