in Motivation and Support
Here's how it works, the first week the goal is to burn 1000 calories for the week. Then is goes up by 500 calories each week. By the end of the month the calories to burn for the week will be 2500 calories.

Now I know that some of you may burn more calories than that for the month, but there is always a starting point.

Challenge Oct 11th-Nov 11th

Who's in?

I will have a message started so that you can post your results for each week

    I'm in! Watching food (calorie) intake and hydration has been easy. I need more motivation to get the exercise in. This may be the challenge I need.

    If the mods could keep this post open so that people could post their results in this message, it would appreciated.

    The format would be like this

    SW before challenge:

    WK1
    Day 1: calories burned for the day/how they were burned(repeat this for each day)
    Day 2:
    Day 3:
    Day 4:
    Day 5:

    This repeats for each week of the challenge and finally

    EW after the challenge:

    Results should be posted at the end of each week
