    3500 is only 500 per day or 700 5 times a week.

    I checked my MFP history and I tend to burn 3,200 a week so this would be a great way to push me a little further. I'm in!

    I'm in again. I burned just under 5000 last week, but I'll be going to a conference this weekend. I'm going to set my goal at 3500 (most of my calories are burned during my Saturday classes...). Happy burning everyone!
