October-Burn 5,000 calories/wk challenge!! :o)

baptistgirl23

I joined a group in September to burn 5,000 calories/wk and I lost 10 pounds and 12 inches!! I'd like to keep this going...anybody else want to join me? I'm going to start the logging on Oct. 3rd, giving us exactly 4 weeks. At the end of the week, just post how many calories you burned each day and what exercises you used; and also the amount of weight lost. I look forward to seeing everyone's results...good luck!!

Wow, I love a girl who can throw me a challenge! I don't know if I can make this weekly but I DO KNOW that I will do all that I can to burn 5000 calories a week. Should I watch this post or how will I know where to find you??

I like this idea! I am in! I need a good kick to get me back on track.

feydruss

I'm in! Do we go by what MFP says we burned for explicit exercise? Keep our own log and compare at the end of every week? Open diary? I try only to log activity that makes me sweat or really raises my heart rate.

I just need to get moving! This would be good motivation!

clarech82

I will give it a go need to make more effort with the exercise

TaylorKKing

I'll participate again this month. I attained my weight loss goal last month. So, I will not be focusing so much on weight loss again. However, I would like to keep up the calorie burning pace in order to maintain my new weight range.

Do we start on Monday and weigh-in on Sundays again? Also, I see someone started a similar challenge a few days earlier than this one. I'll check back to see which one has active updates...

Thanks for the October challenge!

10/02 - Sunday - 1221 Calories burned doing running, walking & eliptical

baptistgirl23

Hi, everyone! So, the plan is to start today, October 3, 2011...since MFP already keeps track of totals Monday-Sunday, this seems easiest. And it gives us exactly 4 weeks in October. The goal? To burn 5,000 calories/wk for the next four weeks...20,000 calories/Oct.!! Don't feel you have to log on the post every day. I plan on just logging in on Mondays, the first one being Oct. 10th. Good luck everyone!! )

Here's an example of how I plan to post every Monday:

**Example**
Week 1:
Monday (10/03): 589 (90 min. doubles tennis)
Tuesday (10/04): 1055 (45 min. Cardio HipHop Class; 45 min. Pump it Up Class; 18 min. walking; 30 min. elliptical)
Wednesday (10/05): 460 (60 min. (11 miles) Bicycling outside)
Thursday (10/06): 1063 (45 min. Cardio HipHop Class; 45 min. Pump it Up Class; 15 min. (1.3 miles) running; 65 min. walking leisurely)
Friday (10/07): 949 (45 min. Zumba Toning Class; 18 min. Walking briskly; 43 min. (4 miles) running
Saturday (10/08): 703 (15 min. walking leisurely; 63 min. (13 miles) Bicycling outside)
Sunday (10/09): 1124(110 min. singles tennis)

Total for the week: 5,943 calories burned and 2 pounds lost!! )
