100k Cal 2008

[prayerwarrior35]

Last year I challenged myself to burn 100k Cals in StepMania using the ITG PC theme. I managed to complete that goal by December 27th... So this year I'm going to attempt it again, and my wife resolved a similar goal 50k Cals for the year.

I'm going to work off of my existing profile so that my scores aren't erased, so my starting Calories from Jan 1st were 28,300. I'll just round it so that my goal is actually to see 130,000 this year.

And YES this goal does not include any other dance game calorie counting for me since I'm only using the calorie counter in StepMania to meet my goal, plus other dance games usually give a much higher calorie count than what I'm getting in this game so I don't trust other dance games calories burnt values at all, especially not ITG PS1 in case you were thinking that the ITG PC calorie counter was also bugged, it was obviously fixed.

Yes, you can join, yes you can use other Dance Sims if you want to add, and yes you can have the software I use (PM me).

I think I'm gonna stick to 100 hours. I clock roughly 1500 cal per hour on the dedicab which is obviously a joke. But by those standards I put in about 150k cal in a year. (my guess is that it probably come up to 50k cal in a year with the estimate of 500 cal an hour playing heavy.) we shall see.

Interesting, I guess the ITG2 dedicab has the same calorie counter from ITG PS2 which was WAY off. That kinda explains how some people have racked over 1 MILLION Cals burned? from ITG 2 AC.

The way I believe the ITG PC one was best was from MaxX Unlimited, I would get about 95 kCal on DDR Ex 2, but in the ITG PC theme it would net me 40 kCals. I get about 1000 in an hour when I play pretty hard w/o breaks doing my ~73-78 min 40 song workout course.

prayerwarrior35 if you wouldn't mind sending me that calorie tracker that works on Stepmania that would be awesome. Currently I had stepmaniaX, and I might need some instructions on how where to put the files. Thanks alot for the help I appreciate it.

I will no longer be posting my progress here due to lack of interest.

Last post, but only because I made the video for some New Year competition at my job, only 30 people entered and there are 7 prizes, 5 random, 1 for toughest, 1 for most unique. So since I had a unique montly update thought I would share, peace!

That was pretty darn cute when your kid was hopping up and down on the other pan in their diaper.

I'm going to do something similar to this goal - I burnt roughly 5000 calories in a month - I know that I actually burnt less, and that I most likely don't burn enough to even lose weight. I'm going to aim for 60-70 thousend cals burnt in a year.
