Before we wrap up this challenge, I would like to propose a new challenge. Since several of us are at or close to goal weight, the weight loss component becomes less relevant.
I'm thinking along the lines of a workout challenge. Workouts can be measured in calories, time worked out per week, days worked out per week, etc. We can also incorporate a good day/bad day component. This can be measured in amount of calories eaten, etc.
I would love to hear some of your thoughts on this and who is in.

How about a "Goals" challenge? Each of us sets three goals per week - could be related to workouts, calorie intake, basically anything behavioral; and then reports back on how we do over the course of the week. My goals would probably be:
1) Burn 2500 calories on the elliptical machine
2) Lift heavy 3 days
3) Keep calorie intake in a certain range (TBD)0 -
In for challenges and Shmulyeng's awesome spreadsheets.0

Yep, in for another challenge!0

I was hoping you would initiate another one. I think a calorie burn challenge could work (it's measurable and individualized). It might be fun to calculate total calories burned in some period of time and then do a burn down of those, i.e. 100,000 calories burned by Halloween or something like that. It would involve math and sweat.0

Some of us lift and that wouldn't be fair :P0 -
I was hoping there would be another challenge. Calories burned sound good.0

Perhaps it could be calories burned OR net pounds or kilos lifted.0 -

Shmu,
I'm in for something like calories burned by a certain date. I appreciate anything you set up, and your awesome spreadsheets!

Unfortunately I'm out of town for the long weekend. I'll work on something over next week along the lines of what was mentioned here. I hope to have it done by the end of next week.
Until then, enjoy the 4th (whether it's a holiday in your country or just another friday) and keep the BBQ in check!0 -
I'm in!!! I need the weight lost, calories burned, calories consumed, etc. etc.!!!0
-
Thank you!! :flowerforyou:
I was so hoping you would do another challenge!!
I am in for whatever is decided. I need it all and I certainly need the accountability.
I must, must learn not to try to eat b/c of stress. It is something I learned to do while growing up in my family - but I am 68 yo. That is not an excuse!!
I know I need the discipline in this area - any ideas would be very much appreciated!
Everyone have a great week-end!!
Again, thanks so much for the challenges!0 -
Thank you Shmu and Mule for setting up the challenge and the spreadsheet!!
The calories burned would be fine with me!! 0 -
Count me in for the next challenge! :drinker:0

I am in for another challenge. I fell off the bandwagon a bit due to an injury and becoming annoyed with the scale, but something that is burn oriented (rather than scale dependant since I seem to be doing more converting than losing) would be awesome!0
-
in I need all the help i can get to keep the last few pounds off and maintain!!!0
-
I am in too
Please include weight loss for those of us still needing some more pounds to go away and maybe a maintaining weight challenge for those who are there already or get there.
Love the calories burned challenges or even minutes of exercise.
Please invite me whatever you do.0 -
I'm in also. I still have a lot of weight to get rid of and luv your spreadsheets.0
-
I want to participate0
-
can i join the next one please???0
-
I am in. Please!!0
-
Have we started another challenge yet?0
-
I was hoping there would be another one. I've lost my way without one. I could start a new one but the spreadsheet wouldn't be as fancy.0
