3500+ Calories Burned Challenge 1/23 - 1/29

MissingMinnesota

Welcome everyone to the 3500+ calories burned challenge.
Can you believe this weekly challenge has been going on for over a year now?

This is a weekly challenge to meet 3500+ calories burned, it is open to everyone. You set your own calorie goal for the week. Each day post the calories you burned, current total and how many you have to go. That's it, not too hard, other then push push pushing yourself to hit your goal. Everyone is such an inspiration on this challenge. Keep up the good work for the people returning and welcome to the newbies.

Here is the daily update format.

Weekly Goal:
Mon: calories burned (how they were burned)
Tues: calories burned (how they were burned)
Wed: calories burned (how they were burned)
Thur:calories burned (how they were burned)
Fri: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sat:calories burned (how they were burned)
Sun:calories burned (how they were burned)

Total:
Left to go:

FYI You can only edit your post for about an hour after you post it. You can either copy and paste into a reply or quote your last post to update

Also please do not promote other similar challenges in this one. I didn't put this challenge in the groups so it is easy to find for new people as this is not a closed challenge and open to everyone. It would be hard to find in the groups and a lot of newbies would miss it.

I'm in if I can keep finding this post lol. Today is my 13th day on the site and last week I burned 4,158 Calorie's from actual exercise (I don't count any calorie's possibly burned from cleaning or cooking etc, only actual exercise that I do because I still done the other things in daily life whilst putting weight on)

My goal for this week is 5,000
Sunday 722 = walking

4,278 Left

*Just a quick question... I know there are tons of posts about this question but personally do YOU eat back your exercise calories? Just wondering because you are all trying to burn SO many in a week. If you do eat them back, what is your reason to try to burn so many?

Personally, I don't eat back ANY exercise calories..I don't see the point in it. Some people do and appear to get some benefit from it, which, if it works, more power to them. But for me and my way of thinking, if i'm working my butt off trying to lose weight, I'm not then going to eat back what I've just spent so long working off. I have enough trouble eating 1200 cals a day, if I'm eating healthy stuff, let alone the 1590 MFP suggests I should eat.

Good luck with your endevours!

jesusislove1526

I burned a little over my goal last week, so I hope to do the same this week.
**MFP says I should burn 4850, so I guess I will bring my previous goal of 6000 down to 5000 to be more consistent with the goal that is already set for me.
