Close ALL three rings, 7x in the month of September.

This is actually kind of a challenge for me as I don't lose all signs more than 2-3x /month because I work at a call centre. I can only do this if I go to the gym pretty much. I've been slacking in the gym for the last 2weeks (they called me a few days ago to make sure I was enjoying the gym, I told them no issues I like the gym I've just been lazy due to sick kids; working late, etc.)

Go 130.4 miles.
Might be able to do it. Most of my workouts are on a stationary bike, and those miles don’t count towards that distance.
I do have a new pair of running shoes coming this week (NB 860v10), so we’ll see what we can do!

I have to burn 16000 calories for the month. I only take in about 1100 calories a day, and I am being asked to burn about 600 of it per day. Not going to happen unless I want to be the September poster child for anorexia.
Unless you're 4, 95 or very sick, your calories intake is too low ;) 1500-1700 is more than enough to still lose weight.

I'm a female that is 5'1 and 118 pounds 1100 calories is my calorie threshold. If I exercise, which I try to do everyday, whatever I burn is added to the calorie count. I work out 60-90 minutes most days and I still barely burn 400-500 calories although I work out at a pretty good pace so no way am I'm going to hit 540 calories daily. I'm not skinny by any means and I do pack a bit of muscle. I guess I should had said it would be 1100-1200 if I don't eat the calories back that I exercised off. If I was taking in 1500-1700 without exercise, I would definitely gain too much weight for my frame.

this month - Close all 3 rings 24 times. I think this is very doable for me. I thought last month wasn't going to happen but I did burn 51,500 calories - barely but I did complete it.

I think this will be the first one in 12 months that I fail. I’m actually quite confused as to why it says I’ve only burnt 3200 calories after four days when my daily move target is 2300 and I’ve hit it every day so far. So it should at least be already 9200.

Still don't know how You came up with 1100kcal. Spent half of my life training and im telling you, 1100kcal (especially since you're working out) is way too low.
Not gonna argue though, stay healthy.

Thanks, will do and you do the same.
 
I have to burn 28,200 Calories for September. So I need to average 940 a day. I've already burned 3,821 as of the writing of this post, I've got this!

4 days in and sitting on 493 minutes out of 2270. 65 per day. Strong start I think, hopefully it'll continue through the rest of the month.

That's insane! It must be some sort of mistake, because 3,000 kjoules (a day) is about 740,000 calories (3 quarters of a million calories). No way it is something real.

P.S. Just thougth you must be from Spain, where the comma is the integer separator and the point is the thousand indicator. That makes much more sense.

Food calories are really kilocalories, so you have to divide by 1,000. 3,000 kJ is roughly 717 (kilo)calories, a perfectly reasonable daily goal. My challenge this month is over 1,600 (kilo)calories per day. (I will not reach that mark.)
 
Mine started out as doing 12 workouts but changed overnight to closing my stand ring 3 times. Needless to say, I got the badge on the 3rd.

As I knew would be the case, I am well behind on my challenge for the month with the marathon on Sunday. It's a lost cause at this point. (I really liked Sioux Falls, SD. It's a lovely city.) I did start a new Move streak yesterday, so that's now at 2 whole days. My next marathon is on December 1 in Seattle, so I could keep the streak going until Thanksgiving week.

I hope next month is something practical and realistic. I wouldn't mind a challenging run/walk distance goal.
