    500 calories (average) a day for 7 days. I don't have any idea if I can do this. It sounds easy and not so easy. I am in.

    Most people will post daily. I usually go to my profile and copy my previous days post, then paste it and add the new day. Keeps a total as you go:)

    Oh sounds good. It will encourage me to do more sessions. Are you using MFP rates our reported rates? All the machines at my gym are way less than the MFP app suggests.

    You can use whichever method you normally use. I have a heart rate monitor I use. Some use machines, others just MFP. It's your challenge, you do what suits you:)
