I have been having trouble exercising so I thought I would make this weekly calorie challenge. I feel like 2000 cals would be an easy goal and maybe next week we will up it a bit. Anyone want to join? You can add an exercise ticker or just keep a count at the bottom of your post. I was thinking we would share our workouts and have people to be accountable to. Anyone in?

    I'm definitely in! I do Insanity and I burn around 400-550 calories usually, so I should be able to make 2000 a week easily!

    depends on how many days that you exercise per week.

    I'll join you! I usually burn a little over double 2000, BUT that doesn't mean I can't jump on your challenge. I'd love to have some new friends and watch their progress :-) Feel free to add me as your MFP buddy too :flowerforyou:

    Sounds good to me! I need to get back to the gym more regularly, as opposed to sporadically!
    Add me as a friend too, if you like :) The more people kicking my butt, the better hehehe

    So I had a migraine yesterday so I didn't get to work out. Oh well.

    Today I went to spin class and thought I was going to die. My legs are sore already! I haven't been to spin in a while and could totally feel it. But, I am proud of myself that I went. How did you all do?

    501 calories burned- 1499 to go :)

    Today's came out to 300 since it was a recovery day. So I'm at 1274, a little over half way! 726 to go, should have that done by Friday. My exercise week is from Sunday-Friday with Saturday being a rest day so if I included Sundays workout I would be a little bit ahead. but then again, the challenge ends on a Sunday so it'll all even out in the end! lol

    300 today running outside. I missed my two workout classes today and I was banking on those calories. I have 700 to go so looks like tomorrow will have to be a big day to make it!

    Burned 383 calories today jogging 3 miles with intervals of 1 min. walking in between each mile.. Pace - 10:44
    That makes my weekly total 1,474. Not the 2,000 that I hoped for, but I am going to keep trying. My biggist thing is that I will not work out on Saturday, the Sabbath. So I will need to burn more the other days of the week.
