    My calorie burn for the week so far:

    Monday: 907
    Tuesday: 1019
    Wednesday: Rest (I really needed it)
    Thursday (so far): 226, but should burn another 300ish running this evening.

    Am feeling great from the exercise but I'm up 1.5lb from Friday's weigh in! :cry:

    Wow frubjious....1000 cals! Way to go!!

    I was wondering that if Tiffy hasn't confirmed our friend request yet with her being away, how will we be able to send our weight in?

    Gah- not doing well with the 500cals/day challenge. My energy levels are just drained by time I get off work and then have dinner. Anyone have a similar problem (or better yet a solution)?

    I just did a sly weigh in and have actually put on! Grrr. Have been feeling a bit bloated the past few days. Think my diet has had a bit too much pasta in !!!

    Ok, how do I do this challenge???

    just try to lose 10 lbs in august and this week's challenge was to burn 3500 calories by the end of the week (averaging 500 cal a day).

    just friend tiffy and send her your starting weight (last friday) and check in every friday w/ weight.

    ::good luck:: we've so got this!

    Then the problem is getting my butt out of bed....but it would be nice to be done at the end of the day. I am going to try this tomorrow morning. Will need to set the timer on the coffee maker tonight to motivate myself!

    Okay Team Blue! I have had 2 rest days in a row. I should make it to over 3000 calories burned for the week, but I don't know if I will make it for the 3500.

    I didn't know what the challenge was. I must have been skipping that page trying to find it.
    Is it the same and we are going to add something.
    I don't keep up with my water. I have a cup that is 2 1/2 cup and I fill it sometimes 6 times a day. SO Drink plenty of water.
    I have reached the point where if I forget to bring water somewhere I have to buy it or I feel crazed. :sick:

    Only lost .8 pounds this week but I'm going to blame it on all the weight training I've been doing this week and the fact that it's my TOM. I have a ton of activities planned this weekend that should help burn alot of calories i.e. hiking and installing seat back at the UofA stadium. (up and down stairs all day carring stacks of chairs) Next week will be better. Keep up the good work ladies! Go Team Blue!

    (I posted this on the main page too)

    Today is 1st official weigh-in....

    My starting weight was 209 (as of Fri 7/29), and today it is 207.4 (loss of 1.6 lbs)...not bad, but I was hoping for more. I will still take it! :D

    And for this weeks "extra 500 cal burned/day challenge", well..............

    I took my average burned for the 3 weeks prior to the challenge (2982 cal), and if I add 3500 cal extra for the week, I would have had to burn 6482 calories this week to make that challenge.

    For 7/29-8/4, I burned 4019 calories (which is still 1037 calories over my average, but not near the extra 3500). So I was 2463 calories short of completing the challenge.

    Looks like I'm 2lbs down from my starting weight!

    SW: 134
    CW: 132
    3174 Cal burn 8/1-8/5 (are we measuring this M-Sun or Sat-Thurs since we weigh in on Fri?)

    Even though I had a 'splurge' night with my husband for our anniversary, I still feel pretty good about this week. I usually get long work outs in on the weekends, so will definitely get more cals burned by Sunday.

    Looks like Team Blue is going strong, eating under their daily calories, and working out like crazy! Keep up the good work everyone!

    I'd love to kick 2.5lbs next week so bring on the BURN!!!
