    Thanks for posting ladies!! It seems we keep losing people :( Any ideas on how to motivate one another???

    Our challenges this week :

    1. 4/7 days of exercise = 1 lbs advantage
    2. Person that walks/runs/bikes/swims the farthest = 1 lbs advantage
    3. Completing 300 push-ups = 1 lbs advantage
    4. Team Challenge: Burn approx. 2100 calories this week = 1 lbs advantage (if entire team succeeds in getting desired burn), extra 1 lbs advantage for team with highest burn
    5. 5/7 days with no desserts = 1 lbs advantage, extra 1 lbs advantage for posting dessert recipe

    I say we can definitely burn enough!! Even if we walk or do something low key it all adds up. Lets check in daily to see how we are doing!

    SO far today I have burned 150 calories. Pushups I will do later!!

    I don't think I understand how this burn thing is going to work. Can you explain it to me? Are we just talking about what is in the exercise calculator part or is there someplace else I need to look? I think I'm brain dead today, so excuse stupidity.

    Nonsense! lol Basically the goal is just for the team to burn a certain amount of day. She suggested 300 calories a day per person.

    For our team that would mean 1,500 calories a day or 10,500 total for the week. Although if someone burned 500 they could cover someone who burned less. Get the idea?? I think its a great goal to have...an extra walk or extra mile during that run etc. Normally I'd be done after my run but I think I might do something extra tonight to meet the 300. Its a good little motivator for me.

    Like I said, I'm brain dead today. I think we just go to the exercise tab and find it there. Is that right? That is my question or is there something else I need to do to figure it out. I work out quite a bit, twice a day every day and 3 times on Tues and Thurs. Today it says 1,373 / 254 under calories burned. Is that what we're supposed to be looking at?

    Oh ya. So under settings at one point you said your goal was 254. And you burned 1373. Without looking I cant say if thats daily or weekly but you can always change it too. OR you can go to the reports tab and look up calories burned the last 7 days but that doesnt give an exact number...just a graph. Does that help?? if no message me.

    A bit late...but loved the idea. Made a motivation board on my fridge...Hopefully it'll curve a binge or bad choices! <3

    Yep! That was my daily burn for yesterday then. I had 3 workouts yesterday. On Tues and Thurs I work out at the gym at the office in the morning before work, leave work and go to Zumba, then go to box and band class (kickboxing) . The rest of the days of the week I only get 2 workouts in, in the morning and the box & band class. Regardless as long as I am able to go, my burn is high. Right now I think it is 391/254. If I could just keep my calories low. LOL!
