    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 >_<
