    I generally try to do hard day / soft day. A hard day is between 800-1200 calories, a soft day is just over 300. It stops me getting burned out, or losing my rhythm with exercising.

    I aim to burn an additional 400-450 with each workout (5-6 days/week).

    The Sjoe was a give away. Good to see more SOuth Africans here! I am from Cape Town


    LOL, I realised after I posted that I was using a word that only South Africans would understand, haha!

    1500 on the days I run and 400 on my off days.
    I run 3-4 days a week and mountain bike the other 3.

    I agree with all the above!, and my own lil quirk is seeing ppl track house work or something they'd be doing anyway. I mean good for you but, house cleaning hasn't helped you thus far, why track it now...? lol

    I was totally laughing at this!

    I burn about 250 per day w/ a fast-paced walk every morning. For me it's the consistency that matters. Also, working out first thing in the morning gets your metabolism going.

    The CONSISTENCY part is key. A monday - Sunday thing. I used to quit at Saturday and start again on Tuesday. Doesnt work.
