To Hyperdrone, Apernet and TeamAmelia for organising a great challenge and pushing me to kick my own butt :) The outcome is kind of irrelevant because I feel that all of us have stepped up our game a little this week due to the challenge. I know I have given more time to cardio than ever before (and I do miss my barbell!!), and seeing some of the logs by others leaves me in awe. Whatever 'team' you are on, I wish you all well. x

    I agree x 100. You guys are amazing, thank you :flowerforyou:
    Now if you'll excuse me I've got one last gym session then it's back to P90X. Tony Horton has an *kitten* whooping with my name written on it!!

    You stole my speech for the final scores! :laugh: I feel the same way, though. After seeing my teammates' burns, I definitely realized that I needed to do more, not just for the competition, but even afterwards if I want to see better results for my weight loss. And, I did pick it up and started to "pull my own weight" as they say. The reward for me is the fact that I started to do more and have hopefully gotten into the habit of it.

    Congrats! :smile:

    Being competitive is a good thing on this site. You should join more competitions. Stick with the shorter competitions like this one so that you'll push yourself harder in short periods of time, vs the longer competitions in which you may take breaks because you have the rest of the month to catch up.

    Congratulations everyone. My legs haven't hurt this much in a while. The Community spirit and encouragement shown by everyone for this challenge has been inspiring and has kept me going despite knowing we weren't going to win. You guys have put in an incredible effort.

    Thank you from me as well and thank you Lanny for inviting me to join the team!!
    I have never pushed my body as hard as I have this week and it
    felt amazing to know I CAN burn over 2000 calories in 1 freaking day :)
    Might not happen frequently but just knowing I did it makes me feel
    Unstoppable!! If it wasn't for this competition I might not have ever
    Even tried... So thank you guys so much it was worth every drop of
    sweat :):):)

    Thank you from me too! Though I always knew I can burn a lot, but you made me want to actually do it. I couldn't imagine myself doing 4 workouts in a row for any reason, but you helped me to find one. :)
