3,500+ Calories Burned Challenge: Mon, 12/24- Sun, 12/30

Welcome everyone to the 3,500+ calories burned challenge. This weekly challenge has been going on for over a year now and it's open to everyone! So nice to see so many new faces these last few weeks - hope it continues; people are setting higher goals and getting more calories burned!

This is a weekly challenge to meet 3,500+ calories burned. You set your own calorie goal for the week (even if it's below 3,500 - you can work your way to that goal!). Each day post the calories you burned, current total and how many you have to go. That's it, not too hard, other than 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.

Make it great week everyone!!

Here's a daily update format you can use:

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)

    Weekly Goal: 2100
    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)

    Hope this isn't a dumb question,are you all eating your exercises calories? I don't know how to reach a 3500 calorie loss personally if I eat all my extra calories lost.I allow myself to eat half of them if I want to. Any input would be appreciated as to what you all are doing and still losing.
