    MFP tells you how many calories you burned from the week from Monday-Sunday. So I'd technically start on the 29th for an accurate count. Every sunday we can log how many calories we burned for the week here, we can also do a weekly weigh-in.

    I can attempt it! I'm not sure I can do with summer coming to an end. I could burn a lot of calories while swimming with friends and soon it will be too cold but I can try other things to get that burn...I plan on going through 30DS as well next month. I've done the videos before but never the whole 30 days.

    I like this challenge!!! Count me in! Do we have to weigh in on Monday or could we use our normal weigh in day?

    I'm starting a 6 week boot camp on the 29th that is sure to kick my butt - this challenge is just the motivation I need to work it! The Bridge to 10K program should help too!

    At the end of each week look at your exercise diary to see how many calories you burned for the week =) (it tells you on Sunday the total for the week burned)

    09/04: Total calories burned (how you did it) (start weight) & (weigh-in)
    09/11: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)
    09/18: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)
    09/25: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)
    10/02: Total calories burned (how you did it) (weigh-in)

    I plan to start on August 28th to get a full week in for the first week of September.

    No you don't have to weigh in on the days you post that's okay =) You can use your regular weigh-in days

    I'd like to give it a try:) my question though is: how can we figure out how many calories are burned with strength training?

    Log it under Cardiovascular. Search for "circuit training" or "strength training"

    I think since MFP gives your numbers based on Mon-Sunday and Sunday 9-4, they want to start tomorrow so your "first week" will end on 9-4. Then every sunday after that:)
