    My goal is to burn 11,000. I tried the ticker but was not able to make it work; my computer at work wouldn't download it without administrator privileges. :grumble:

    And I'll be off to a weak start; I usually use my phone app pedometer and I am at the limit of my data plan 'til Aug. 6, so I'll be using my crappy wrist heart monitor. :sad:

    So how does this work if we don't have a ticker? Do we post our daily Calorie burn daily?

    Yay Mel! She helped me get my ticker for our challenge! Now, how do I stop my regular MFP ticker from showing? Just click and delete? And then do we go to tickerfactory to update?

    TAMayorga, you will have to go back to tickerfactory.com to update each time. I'm unsure of how to delete the MFP ticker.

    Well, I'm not off to the most auspicious start!! Woke up late, so missed my morning workout and it was raining so couldn't ride my bike to the train station. Now I just found out that tomorrow' boot camp is cancelled! So I have to rely on myself! Never a good thing! :)

    Oh well, I will do some elliptical tonight and set my alarm to get up and get a good workout in the morning!

    12 hour day at the office - the last day of the summer semester! The next few days I'll be doing some "unstructured exercise". I'll be helping someone build a structure. No HRM so I'll have to estimate the cals. At least I'll be outdoors and active!

    I decided to not participate. I'm a bit over-extended right now. Good luck everyone!

    My first day back at cardio in over a month. Don't want to re-injure my leg, so I just did some Gold's Gym cardio boxing today. 28 minutes for 228 calories.

    I was on my feet for 6 hours straight while wearing heavy work boots building a structure at my club. My feet and knees are killing me! I estimated my calories as 3 hours of slow pace walking.

    Since I have already lost 15 lbs and dropped from 188 to 173, I have decided to change my target goal weight from 170 to 165 pounds. The last time I weighed 165 was when I was 11 or 12. However, due to my TRX workouts, I'm starting to see some definition so I know that this 165 lbs will be very different than the 165 lbs of 40 years ago! Over 7000 calories in August will help me get there!
