    Count me in! I just joined yesterday and want to kickstart my fitness plan to lose the 30 pounds I've gained since college. I'm down to AT LEAST try to get to 5000 calories a week by doing a combo of 30 day shred and couch to 5k. Actually, no, I'm not going to try- I'm going to do it!

    Managed to walk this afternoon - 2 hours, but kind of slowly. My leg is hurting big style. So tonight I'll have to just have a swim, instead of my Big Gym Plans. I do hope this leg heals up soon, as I'm starting to twitch without a reasonably decent burn.... Sigh.

    ETA, I am officially cursed. Pools was closed due to 'accident' (probably someone's kid threw up in it....)

    So, basically I managed 698 cal today, just walking a couple of hours. Hopefully tomorrow will be less frustrating!

    I will eat if I'm hungry, but I usually don't eat them all back. I find that I'm more hungry on days that I don't burn too many calories.

    Monday - Boot Camp - 869
    Tuesday - Walk DVD (3miles) - 473 My first day of booty camp kicked my booty so I'm glad I could at least do something with all the aches!!!
    Wednesday - Boot Camp - 1028
    2370 total for the week - just about 1/2 way there. YAY!!!!

    Monday- 940 calories- (walk/jog dvd 12 min/mile)
    Tues-1296 calories burned- (35 min on elliptical, 60 minutes walk/jog dvd 12 min/mile)
    Wed- 1174 calories burned - (80 minutes on elliptical)


    3410/5000

    I'm hoping to get a heart rate monitor soon so I can be more accurate, but for now I'm using different websites for a calorie burned calculator as well as mfp and taking whatever site gives me the lowest number. Tomorrow or Saturday is probably my rest day so I've been trying to get a good burn in every day. Plus I know next week I'll be much more busy and have shorted workouts so it'll be a lot harder to reach the 5,000 next week.
