    I changed my calorie goals from losing one pound a week to one and a half.

    Wow! 5000 calories burned in one week sounds high for just starting out. I generally burn 300 per workout, so if I do 5 days a week, that's 1500 calories. We would have to burn 715 calories a day for 7 days to reach 5000, or even more per day if you don't exercise every single day. I will do my best, but I'm not at the same level some of you may be with exercising. I guess that's why it's called a "challenge". :wink:

    WEEK #1 CHALLENGES-

    1. I checked my diary. I am hoping to lose about 10 pounds, so I would need to lose 1.3 per week, currently my goals say I would lose 1.5 per week so I am all set there.

    2. 5000 calories???? WOW! Not sure I have ever burned that many in a week, but it sounds like an awesome goal, better get my butt in gear!

    I look forward to getting to know my new buddies!

    It definitely will be a challenge. I don't know if I will be able to do it either, but I'm going to give it my all! Good luck!

    Hello again Everyone!

    Ok...so I'm getting a lot of "slack" for assigning 5000 calories! :0)

    My suggestion is that you count EVERY BIT of exercise you do. Like...walking in the grocery store for an hour...(60 minutes at 2.0 mph) That should help those of you who are just starting out with exercise. Cleaning house and cooking dinner also burn calories... those activities can also be found in the exercise archives! :0)

    For those of you who have been exercising...time to kick it in gear this week! :0) We can do it!!!

    Remember, each week the challenge is different...PLUS>..if you don't fully hit the challenge, but do more than you normally would...you are still working toward your weight loss goals! :0)

    Keep it all in perspective my dears, and don't defeat yourselves before giving it an honest try! :0)

    Annie... I totally understand about your back...and I'm not going to delete you at all!! Just remember to check in on weigh in days and you are good to go. Nothing else is "required" but just there for those who can and want it. :0)

    Love to each of you. Tausha

    This is going to make me sound very lame...BUT...I just threw my back out this morning. I'm going to the chiropractor tomorrow to see what he says, but as of right now, it's difficult to even walk. Please, please, PLEASE don't count me out of the group. I will try my best, and if the chiropractor gives me to okay to exercise, then you can be sure I will burn those 5000 calories.


    Hope you feel better. Take it light for few days if you can. You can always be back to your original plan when you feel better !! Hope everything. Goes well at chiropractor.
