    I am bowing out. I know I can burn the calories, but I am now afraid it will work against what I am trying to accomplish. I am supporting you all 100% though.
    Good luck everyone.
  • Where did everybody go? Sounded like we would have 5 or 6 going for this but I'm not seeing updates.

    I'm still here, but didn't log in for 2 days, sorry!

    Wed- 606 cycling
    Thur-1467 tennis
    Fri-449 tennis
    Sat-562 jogging

    Total - 3,084
    To go - 4,916 WHEN IS IT DUE???? I'm getting scared now! I went to the beach last minute on Friday and had a hard time exercising. I tried to fit in an hr run, but that was it for yesterday! And Friday was lame because of time constraints!

    How many more days do I have? I was hoping I could rest (and enjoy a family BBQ) today... Monday will be hard, but I'll do my best!

    Colletemrk - you're still my hero! Too easy of a challenge for you! Where do you go on your bike, Miami-Orlando and back everyday??? lol!

    Thanks Mark, I'll really try to finish what I started! 2,500 cals/day is TOO much for me, but I'll try my best!

    Do over! I won't be able to make this challenge this week! I didn't fit in any exercise yesterday and that threw me WAY OFF! I figured it out - I weigh 125 lbs and to burn 8,000 cals/week, I have to burn 1,142 cals/day, which means about 3 hrs of exercise a day! When do I work, pick kids up from school, take them to tennis, ballet and jazz, review their homeworks?

    Today was a 1,157 calorie burn and tomorrow I'll do the same (maybe a bit more), but won't get close to the 8,000. I will def join again on your next challenge and have in my mind that I need to complete this challenge on my own soon!

    I really didn't want to run today. It was cold, windy, and I was tired from my 8miles yesterday. I just couldn't come back to this thread with a single days worth of missing data >_<
