    Everyone's goals are different and based on what we beleive we can acheive. I started at 3500 because that is the amount of calories in 1 lb and I figured it would be a good goal for me. I knew I would have to push myself to make it, but that I could if I really set my mind to it.

    So my suggestion: Look at your average currently and add a few hundred extra to push yourself.

    Another option is to set your goal at 3500 and push yourself until you reach it. Then add some more.

    Any other suggestions?

    Lucia, I use a HRM to calculate calorie burn instead of MFP or the machines. I'm guessing it's closer to the truth.
