I think the idea of burning 3500 calories or more in one week is a really good one!! Keeps everyone moving and makes it that much easier to take the weight off!!0

The 4th is going to be a challenge for me, lots of company and picnics. I'm going to strictly track my calories and be sure and drink my water, something that's hard for me.0

Hi everyone! New to the site and this group and really looking forward to making progress! I really like the idea of reaching the suggested servings for water everyday. Is 64 ounces still the recommended?0

S, do we know what the challenge is going to be yet? I've decided to do that 4% weight loss...or basically 6-pounds. What is the actual challenge for July though? Any idea yet anyone???? Since July starts in a few hours...
Thanks!

I like the challenge of walking at least half an hour, 5 out of the 7 days for the first week.
Drinking just water for a week sounds like a fun challenge too. I love my diet Pepsi. However, with the 4th of July holiday in the middle of this week, I already have my calories figured out so I can include one or two beers into my diet for the day. That would be a great mini challenge for week two.0 -
I think the 4000 calorie burn sounds awesome BUT also add in drink 1/2 oz of water as you weigh... For example, I weigh 169, so then I have to drink 84.5 oz a day... My cousin is a fitness guru and is a walking miracle because of working out and following this "simple" drinking water rule. It's a challenge for sure he says! When will you let all of us know what the challenge is???0

i like the 3500-4000 calories burned
drink water only
stay under calorie goal ( would think with 4000 calories burned then I should stay under : ) - dont want to eat more just 'cause i exercise more : ))0 -
It seems like the 3500 cal exercise challenge is the favorite, right? I think that would be a great motivator!0

Do we know what the mini challenge is yet?0

Let the challenge begin! Good luck everybody.0

Carani,
This is the challenge i am planing on doing. I am inherently lazy and need a boost on working out. Another friend of mine and I are both doing the 300-3500 calories burned for 6 days of woking out.0 -

Oh! I thought we were all supposed to work on the same challenge, whatever our fearless leader has decided will be the week 1 challenge!0 -

That's how I understood it too. That the most popular one will be chosen and announced today.0 -

Seems to me that you misunderstood and think that holley misunderstood. I undrestood also that we all have same challenge but no one ever said that we can't put any extra-challenges for ourselves right?
I personally going to work with whatever challenge is chosen but I'm going to do also veggies + fruits challenge which someone suggested earlier because I hardly ever eat enough those. 0 -
I am game for what the group decides. I can use all the success and tips and help I can get. I will staty tuned to the final result.0

Calorie Burn!!!! :-)0

I'm totally down for this calorie burn challenge since that seems to be the most popular...but...one question for you all so I can at least have a shot of doing it:
What activities do you guys do that have you burning 3500-4000 in one week?? I can go jogging for two miles 3x a week (6 miles total) and only burn 1000ish! Teach me your ways oh fit ones!0 -
Morning Challengers!!!
Sorry I didn't announce this week's challenge earlier, couldn't access the group from my phone
Anyway...
The Week 1 Challenge is.....
BURN A POUND!
We've all got to aim for a total calorie burn of 3500 this week - which is the equivalent to a pound! So make sure you log every workout so you can tot it up come the end of the week.
Some high burn workout suggestions are:
Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred - a high intensity 30 minute workout that burns about 250 cals
Zumba - lots of fun and melts about 500 cals an hour
Kettlercise - strength and cardio are a winning combo, resulting in a whopping 800 cals an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go get it guys! x0
