Hi Everyone!

So I saw this challenge in another group and thought it looked fun- and could keep us motivated. I copied this from another group (I hope that isn’t a mfp no-no).

START DATE: July 1st 2014

Here is the daily update format example.

Week 1 Goal: 3500

Day 1: 500 calories (1hr zumba)
Day 2: calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 3: calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 4:calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 4: calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 6:calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 7:calories burned (how they were burned)

Total: 500
Left to go: 3000


RULES: There aren't many.

1. Just be respectful of each other.

2. Post progress within the threads I post. It keeps the group in order and controlled/organized. I'll post a thread everyday for the respective days throughout the month.

3. Feel free to ask questions etc.


Hopefully this will keep us accountable 

    It's okay as long as you account for it in your calorie intake and work off any excess calories you may consume. :)

    This website has a tab - calculators. One of the calculators is a calorie calculator and can help determine the calories you burn during various exercises. It is helpful and has tons of information that I found really interesting. Now sure I am allowed to post the link, but I thought it was helpful.
