I'm aiming for 20,000 calories burned in November.
Added kicker: If I am either "in the red" OR fail to fully log my intake any day - that adds 1000 cals to the target!
Who's in?

Hi Brian,
Im in for 25000 calories burned. Burned 1350 Nov 1st, so 23650 remaining. I have a feeling this will be a tough month.0 -
Hiya guys,
I'm all for this, lets see how it goes!0 -
Friday 2nd november, 23650 remaining, burned 750, remaining 22900....0

Thur/Fri/Sat were 1170+959+1222 so 3351 burned so far into Nov.
Sisters 40th birthday tonight so hoping the 1222 will be enough to cover the partying...0 -
I've been sick the last week, and only easing myself back into things today. Managed to burn 500, and after that I started to get very weak and feel sick.
Guess I'll just have to really kick things up a notch once I'm back on form to hit that goal.0 -
Saturday 3rd november, goal 25000, remaining 22900, burned today 750, leaving 22150.0

Mon=650 and Tue=1032 but I was a naughty boy on Mon and was "in the red" after a beer or two so adding my 1000 calorie penalty it all means...
5683 burned, 15317 to go.0 -
439 today, leaving me with 18289. With a wedding this weekend, and travelling home to Cork, I can see myself falling behind even more. Some serious work will be needed next week!0

Rethink required: Came home on Friday - BIKE STOLEN! Grrr. My own fault for relying on a smallish chain, I guess. This is going to be a problem as I can cycle for longer than I can run; i.e. I can burn 1100/1200 doing 80 minutes on the bike but a 80 min run; well, I can do it but I'll be out of action for 2 days after.
Also, this thing of adding 1000 cals if I am "in the red" - it works in principle having a "punishment" but 1000 is too big of a "fine".
So I've got to rethink my Nov goal. For now, I've got 8908 burned as of today. Managed 8k run on Sat and 5.3k on Sun so taking Monday as a rest day.
Also stuck fast on 217 lbs for months now. Starting to get annoyed.0 -
Between Thursday and yesterday, I'm down from 17653 to 16273.
I know how you feel about being on a plateau, I've been on mine since early September. Have you tried mixing up your workouts or upping your intake for a few days?0 -
Sat 10th 800, Sun 11th 350, Monday 12th 1105 leaving 14345 remaining...0

Tuesday 13th 1700 burned, leaving 12645...good day!!0

Wednesday 14/11/2012 1650 calories burned, leaving 11045 remaining....0

Hi Folks,
Still undecided about what my Nov goal is so just counting up.
Nothing Monday, Gym on Tue=390 and Gym+Tennis today = 1042 so burned in Nov so far is 10340.
Average is 739 per day - happy with that.
I think I'm going to try interval running rather than slogging/jogging while bikeless. Shorter time - so less cals burned on MFP - but overall I think better for fat-burn.
Will my legs EVER not be in pain again???0 -
Thursday, 15th, 1150 burned leaving 9895 remaining, the end is in sight!! Brian, you're doing really well, keep up the good work!0

Saturday 17th 500, Sunday 18th 500, leaving 8195 remaining.0

Been a few days since I posted, according to the page stuck up on my pinboard I'm at 14,445. But considering my thesis is due in two weeks I'm happy enough with not reaching my goal this month!0
-
Still counting up. 11781 as of Tue 20/Nov.
Had a slice of toffee cake an hour ago; musta been the best part of 600 cals. I need to sort out what I'm trying to achieve here!!!0 -
Wednesday 21st, 1500 calories burned leaving 4745 remaining....0
