Mr. Stay Puft Challenge - easy and fun!!!

Heyyyyy! You upped the ante! I may just have to keep going with 300 calories every other day and join in if I seem to be getting closer to 200 a day.

Bit sad tbh

You can do it...one thing we all have to learn is to push just a little bit more is hard but not impossible. Log everyday and see what happens.

I'll do that. I'd just got to the point where I didn't think I'd let my team mates down on the Jabba challenge, when it ended!

Burnt over 200 yesterday, mainly walking a 2mph with my 4 year old, but that's really not typical. This half-term has been super busy, so maybe next half-term.

Work hard, everybody, and I hope to join you soon.

Well, I am eager to join but I am on the other side of the world (Australia) which means I am a day ahead of everyone (it is 8.30pm on the 16th right now). Would this affect the logging??

Do we have to do 200 a day or just so it tallies up to 1400 in the week?? I am on the C25K but only do that every other day when I am not at the gym. There may be a day that I don't do 200 but can exceed on other days.

Hopefully this will spur me on to continueing exercising, even on my 'off' days.

Bring it on..... )

you have the choice of 200 a day monday through Friday, OR 1500 weekly total. (you pay an extra 100 for flexibility)

Just log by the date and you should be fine - we have one week to log our data - maybe you should make your personal goal like 5 days.

Jenny, I have a question: 200 a day M-F = 1000 + 100 (for flexibility) = 1100. 1500 means everyone burns 200 for 7 days plus 100. I'm just asking for clarification for everyone else. I get high burns, but I know everyone does not. Is 1500 what you were going for because that's a 500 calorie penalty instead of 100.

Thanks for putting this together!

Jenny I think 1500 is very very reasonable.
Guys if you wanna lose weight and get healthy, you have to put in the gym time. I dont mean to be mean ... but I used to be you. I used to think I was too busy and that I could lose weight without it. And I did ... and I gained it all back. Since I started making exercise a priority the weight continues to come off and stay off. Trust me, I am busy ... I work full time, plus teach park time and in doctoral school full time as well. You HAVE to make sacrifices!

If you cant do 200 a day (which honestly I dont always get because I do take rest days) shoot for 300 x 5 days ... that is NOT unreasonable.

I hope no one hates me for my opinion ... but Jenny thank you for the challenge. Give it a try ... if you cant, what is the worst thing that happens to you?

I had just joined the Jabba the Hutt challenge so was just getting into 300 kcal every two days. Maybe that will up to 200 a day, maybe it won't.

I am not overweight. I am on maintenance and need over 2000 calories a day NET to not lose weight, so I can hardly be inactive. I did not need to exercise on purpose to lose the weight I did, but now I would like to get fitter. I used to go to the gym, but I'm fitter now than then, thanks to a little added running and the 30DS, which does not require 200 kcal a day, at least not by mfp's calculations

I have priorities. If I was seriously unfit, exercise might be a bigger one. I'm sure 300 kcal a day is doable, but I'll choose not to do it for now. When work has quietened down a little I might do the C25K or I might try volunteering at the local night hostel. I don't need to make excuses, I make choices, and if the penalty for flexibility is an extra 50%, I will have to wait until I can manage the norm every day.

Being Monday over here in Oz, I did my gym workout this morning and clocked 330 cal. I can actually see this game as a HUGE incentive to get me moving every day!!

Woo Hoo! Lets kick his big white butt!! )

Jabba challenge kept me motivated on my lazy days, so happy to join this one as well. Stay puft is going down!
