I took a couple months off of this challenge but I am ready to jump back into it! I am shooting for 2,000 calories burned this week!

I like this!

I might not be able to make it this week since I am running a Half on Sunday, so Im taking it easy this week, so I'll start at 2500

I'm in. I like the various challenges, they keep me motivated. Due to getting closer to goal weight, I can't compete in the weight loss challenges like I could in the beginning. So the exercise challenges are the way to go!.
Lately I have been trying to burn 10,000 a week. I used to be a serious couch potato, so now that I am into exercising, I don't want to stay still for long otherwise I might revert to old habits.
I usually don't do much on Sundays and Mondays as I work 24 out of 32 hours those 2 days. Tuesday through Saturday you will see me get my butt in gear.
Everyone have a great week and I hope to make a few new friends!!

For those of us who burn a lot more, I think she wants us to post our own goals for the week. So if you do 10k or 15k, just put that down for a goal.

This is correct. Its a 3500+ challenge. You can set your own goal but strive for at least 3500.

I'm game for 3,500, but I will get off to a very slow start. I am in day three of the flu so I will not exercise on Monday and possibly Tuesday. If I can do something Wednesday and be back on track Thursday through Sunday I can still hit 3,500. Its a bit of a gamble but I'll either be back to health or not. I need this goal to motivate me!

LOL I try to do 2 or 2 1/2 (sometimes 3) hours of cardio per day 5 or 6 days per week, depending on work schedule (plus I work on the floor at the hospital, so on a really busy night I can do 6 or 7 miles walking). Mainly bike (regular and stationary), elliptical and tons of calisthenics. I try to set machines at the gym to the highest resistance I can manage. Like to get the most calories burned in the shortest amount of time.

OK. I can't figure out how to edit a post to update it. Help!

Well, it will let me edit this one, but not my original post?

You only have a brief window in which you can edit, after that it is permanent!
