    Thanks! Both teams are locked at 19 now, Dan.. Unless you can find an opposite number for US to round it up to 20. :laugh:

    UPDATE: Both teams are now locked at 19 members!!!!!! Woot Woot! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    NOTE: Please make sure your diaries are open and post HRM numbers to diaries if you do not have auto synching.


    My diary's locked. I'll post a screenshot or copy/paste my exercise logs each day or at the end of the contest.

    Using my HRM to calculate calories burned and the total so far was a combination of short bursts of cardio on treadmill, cycle and Spin bike and strength training - legs.

    Patrick/hYpErDrOnE is leaving the challenge. I will tally up the U.S. team’s calories each day. Just make sure that you have your exercises logged on MFP by the end of each day. If you don't log something by the end of the day, make sure to let me know by sending me a PM so that I can adjust your calories before the end of the competition.

    Someone suggested that the leaders post each person's burn and I think that we should do that - at least for the U.S. team. So, I'll post everyone's total calories, too.

    By the way, there's a group forum for this challenge. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/17166-us-vs-uk-whose-up-for-a-challenge
