Hi all!!
I found a post that had challenges for April, but I could not find a challenge about calories burned for May. Anyone interested in counting up all their calories burned and seeing how we compare at the end of May? I thought it would be fun and a good motivator! Feel free to reply here, or message me, or add me (but please only send a friend request if you are as serious as I am please and thank you!)
I'm hoping I can burn 16,000 calories for the month of May. Who's with me?!

I'm in. I make no promises to burn 16,000, though. LOL0

That's over 500/day!!!
I don't track things like "light cleaning" or "food preparation" or "walking 2.5 mph leisurely pace".
I'll aim for 500 sweaty calories burned 5 days a week or 11,000 for the month of May.0 -
Same here. I don't track any of the walking I do to/across campus, cleaning, etc. I use a Polar HRM to track my calories burned during workouts. I don't consider it a workout unless if I have to shower immediately after! If you're in, we have 5 so far

I am in! I also use a Polar HRM. I do not track anything that is an everyday chore. I track gym time, sports, Insanity, and RevAbs. Playing with the kids, cleaning, walking, are all basic things that were done previous to weight gain so why would they be considered exercise?? That is my thought on it anyway.
16,000 sounds good to me!0 -
Hi Ladies,
I'm new around here but I'd love to give it a try. I'll go for 10 000. I also only track real workouts.
Great idea by the way!0 -

I'd like to join! Not promising 16,000 though. :-) I only count sweaty workout calories burned with my hrm, no cleaning or food prep stuff. I also don't count weight workouts but maybe I will rethink that plan for May to try to keep up with you all!0

I am in. I just re-joined MFP. I am dealing with a knee injury and potential surgery, so I'm hoping to keep motivated to burning calories!0

I created a group for the May Challenge!! It is called "May Challenge 2013 Calories Burned" so if you are interested in joining, search for the group and join!
So far I've had 13 amazing ladies contact me; it's going to be awesome!!!0 -
16,000 burned on HRM @ gym - I'm in! It'll be a fun goal to work towards. 0
-
I am in! I just started this website so this will be my first challenge since being on here. Question how often do you workout? Are you just counting the calories you burn by your workout log? I am having a few issues, I tried to log 20 minutes on the stairmaster at the gym after a cycling class and when trying to enter it I can only find step ups. Have you had any issues with that?0
-
I will like to be on it...0
-
I am in for 10k as well. Are you basing this on what we log for mfp? thanks0
-
sphomphak-thanks for the question! Since I put together this challenge, I am asking that everyone keep record of their calories burned for the month of May and submit the total number at the end of the month. I created a group and will create a discussion closer to the end of May called "Calories Burned For May Totals" and everyone who kept up with the challenge can post what they burned. Obviously we expect everyone to be honest (no one likes a cheater!). If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!0

This sounds like a great idea! I'm going to aim small though - only 10,000 - 16,000 seems way too high with the exercises that I do - only running and circuit training.
Yay!0 -
Hey I'd like to join with 12 000cals. Sounds like fun!0
