HI!

Can you believe we are nearing the end of May?! With that being said, I want to announce a new challenge that will begin on May 30th called A Virtual Walk Coast to Coast Across the USA. This challenge has been created to give the participants not only focus on their individual health goals but to add a little fun as well.

There are four aspects to this challenge: personal focus/weight loss objectives, daily targets (things you want to focus on everyday), your weigh-ins and/or measurements, and finally, your training and miles.

Everyday a log in thread will appear in the MFP forum where you will log in the miles that you walked, jogged, ran, cycled, etc. Then we will combine the miles and plot them on a Google map to see if we can cross the United States starting at New York and finishing in San Francisco.

If you are interested in participating in this challenge, please respond to this thread saying you want to participate and then go to the following link to print/download the planner and instructions on how to use the planner: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkO9YqLvS00XdDIxN1JtVTdaSlpoTXctX09iUF9IT0E&hl=en_US&authkey=CKHTsdsI

Please note, the only information that will be published will be the mileage that you gain everytime you work out.

This challenge will promote focus on your weight loss and asking/giving support when needed.

So, do you want to see if we can walk/jog/run/cycle across America in 4 weeks?

    Download the sheet and enter your info that way. LeeKetty1176 created the sheet and I believe he used formulas but not sure. You can email him at ketty1176@gmail.com for any questions about the sheet.

    Thanks for joining this challenge.

    There will be a daily link posted where you will record your miles so that one of us can add it to the map!

    Everyday I will post a thread asking for everyone's mileage. So for example, on May 31st, I will post a thread asking for everyone's mileage from May 30th and you just reply with what your sheet tells you. Then Leeketty1176 will take everyone's combined mileage and plot it on the map.

    Count me in. I've never joined a challenge like this, so it ought to be interesting :smile: I had to download a program to be able to enter information in the spreadsheets, as this computer didn't have one, but I'm now ready to start my spreadsheet and the challenge. (My family thinks I've gone crazy on them lol)
