Heyyyyy! You upped the ante! I may just have to keep going with 300 calories every other day and join in if I seem to be getting closer to 200 a day.
Bit sad tbh
You can do it...one thing we all have to learn is to push just a little bit more is hard but not impossible. Log everyday and see what happens.0 -
I'm in too, and that chart thingy is super cool!0
-
so do we make our own "stay pufft logo thing?0

Count me in. Sounds like a lot of fun.0

I am sooo totally in ... but I wished we could start today (ran my sixth half marathon today)!!
Glad you are feeling (way!!) better. :flowerforyou:0 -
OHHH Can I join too?
Of course! We need all the help smashing this carby *kitten* that we can get! Go to the spread sheet and add yourself!
Oishii- this goes for you too - just do your best and see where that takes you. I have more respect for someone who starts a challenge timidly then one who already knows they can blast it to pieces!

Sure, I am too lazy/busy right now.
But I like the idea. 0 -

Thanks girl... I was a bit worried about whether I could finish having been so sick. But my body knew what to do and I had one of the best races of my life. If I wouldnt have been for the nasty wind that was sustained I probably would have broke my personal best!0 -

I started messing with one earlier but lazy/business took over. Hopefully, someone jumps in. :bigsmile:0 -

I'll do that. I'd just got to the point where I didn't think I'd let my team mates down on the Jabba challenge, when it ended!
Burnt over 200 yesterday, mainly walking a 2mph with my 4 year old, but that's really not typical. This half-term has been super busy, so maybe next half-term.
Work hard, everybody, and I hope to join you soon.0 -
Excellent! A new challenge- just what I need to kick my marshmallow butt into action. I got eliminated from Jabba after 3 weeks- injured myself doing C25K :sad: - but I'm all repaired now and raring to go :happy:
Signing up now...0 -
Well, I am eager to join but I am on the other side of the world (Australia) which means I am a day ahead of everyone (it is 8.30pm on the 16th right now). Would this affect the logging??
Do we have to do 200 a day or just so it tallies up to 1400 in the week?? I am on the C25K but only do that every other day when I am not at the gym. There may be a day that I don't do 200 but can exceed on other days.
Hopefully this will spur me on to continueing exercising, even on my 'off' days.
Bring it on.....

Ok, I'm ready to do this. Question: when we die, will it be like with Jabba, the Puff-Man will gain back our hit points? Just asking for clarification purposes.0

you have the choice of 200 a day monday through Friday, OR 1500 weekly total. (you pay an extra 500 for flexibility)
Just log by the date and you should be fine - we have one week to log our data - maybe you should make your personal goal like 5 days.0 -

No, he will not regain strength. So there is no reason for anybody to not give this challenge a shot!. :happy:0 -

Jenny, I have a question: 200 a day M-F = 1000 + 100 (for flexibility) = 1100. 1500 means everyone burns 200 for 7 days plus 100. I'm just asking for clarification for everyone else. I get high burns, but I know everyone does not. Is 1500 what you were going for because that's a 500 calorie penalty instead of 100.
Thanks for putting this together!0 -

5x200=1000, so that's an extra 500 for flexibility. If it was 1100 a week I could give it a go...0 -
Yep 500 penalty! - (sorry. I edited it)
200 a day M-F =1000 for the week
or
whatever a day that equals =1500 for the week0 -
Jenny I think 1500 is very very reasonable.
Guys if you wanna lose weight and get healthy, you have to put in the gym time. I dont mean to be mean ... but I used to be you. I used to think I was too busy and that I could lose weight without it. And I did ... and I gained it all back. Since I started making exercise a priority the weight continues to come off and stay off. Trust me, I am busy ... I work full time, plus teach park time and in doctoral school full time as well. You HAVE to make sacrifices!
If you cant do 200 a day (which honestly I dont always get because I do take rest days) shoot for 300 x 5 days ... that is NOT unreasonable.
I hope no one hates me for my opinion ... but Jenny thank you for the challenge. Give it a try ... if you cant, what is the worst thing that happens to you?0 -

I had just joined the Jabba the Hutt challenge so was just getting into 300 kcal every two days. Maybe that will up to 200 a day, maybe it won't.
I am not overweight. I am on maintenance and need over 2000 calories a day NET to not lose weight, so I can hardly be inactive. I did not need to exercise on purpose to lose the weight I did, but now I would like to get fitter. I used to go to the gym, but I'm fitter now than then, thanks to a little added running and the 30DS, which does not require 200 kcal a day, at least not by mfp's calculations
I have priorities. If I was seriously unfit, exercise might be a bigger one. I'm sure 300 kcal a day is doable, but I'll choose not to do it for now. When work has quietened down a little I might do the C25K or I might try volunteering at the local night hostel. I don't need to make excuses, I make choices, and if the penalty for flexibility is an extra 50%, I will have to wait until I can manage the norm every day.0 -
Lol that's pretty hilarious... I'm in!0
-
OK - challenge starts tomorrow! Work your magic schedules and include time to get your calories in!!!0
-
May I join you? I have been slacking and could use some motivation.0
-
Being Monday over here in Oz, I did my gym workout this morning and clocked 330 cal. I can actually see this game as a HUGE incentive to get me moving every day!!
Woo Hoo! Lets kick his big white butt!!) 0 -
Good start MsMonny!
cklbrown - anyone can join, go to the spreadsheet and add your name 0 -
Jabba challenge kept me motivated on my lazy days, so happy to join this one as well. Stay puft is going down!0

I've been really bad about logging exercise so this will help motivate me to log!0
