3500 + calories burned challenge (Thanksgiving addition).

MissingMinnesota

Back by popular demand is the burn 3500 calories in a week challenge. 3500 calories was picked as the minimum calories burned since that equals 1 lb. Try to log how many calories you burned each day and how you did it. Otherwise this is a pretty loose challenge and anyone can join at any time.

Good luck logging all your exercise through the holiday. This is going to be really hard for me since I will not be at home.

The challenge goes Monday - Sunday 11/22 -11/28

I'm in! This was a great challenge last week, because it really spurred me on to lengthen my morning work-outs! I'm getting up earlier, and added 30 - 60 minutes more each day....

Will we check in here each day or not until next Sunday?

MissingMinnesota

Same way as last challenge. If you want to log it everyday please do, if not people can log it at the end of the week.

W00T! Ready to roll....out of bed....not quite yet...LOL! I keep holding out hope that I will still burn some remaining calories for last weeks. But the sane part of me keeps thinking "Tara, take it easy and start fresh tomorrow for next week!"

Week One: 4120

Jane welcome this is just called the Thanksgiving addition since it is over the American Thanksgiving week but we are trying to do this challenge every week so it was just a way to change the name.

I've never done this, either, but I'm in! We are going to Disneyland on Tuesday, but will be back on Friday. I will bring pen and paper to keep track of my burns while I'm away.

Maidei

I'm So In! This will be my first challenge since I just started my weight loss and will keep me motivated. Awesome idea! Let's do it!

LoriT129

Here we goooooo! Last week was great and I am ready for this week. I can't believe I have actually been motivated enough to get up earlier this past week so that I can get a good burn in before the day begins. Other than burning at least 3,500 calories my other goal is to at least maintain and NOT gain this week.

Good luck everyone and welcome to the new folks!

4336 this week!!!!! will set my goal higher this next week ! love a challenge.
