    Ive done weeks worth of eating in a weekend and it does sound more enticing ;)
    I've been working out pretty consistently to try and reach my goal of 60 lbs in 16 weeks. Ive kinda hit a wall and want to use this to push me over that. I also want to start training for a tough mudder event in Feb and this would be a good way to kick off that training.

    Heres what Im thinking-
    Friday night - Gym- 60 min on treadmill at 3.5 mph at 8-10% incline. 30 min HIIT. Lifting weights

    Saturday- 6 mile hike through some of phoenix mountains2-3 hours. Gym- 1 hr bicycling more weight lifting- swimming laps 1 hr

    Sunday- 2 mile jog. 1 hour p90x. 1-2 hours of soccer.

    That's what I'm shooting for. I think its achievable and I'm going to push really hard to hit it :)

    Why don't you just push your goal weeks out?

    :laugh: CONSUMING a week's worth of calories in one weekend is more the kind of goal I'd like to try.

    Yeah. I totally thought was what the thread was going to be about.

    I'd be down for that kind of challenge. Not so much on the burning 10,000 kcal in a weekend.

    No thats not me. I just found this place yesterday. I'm not trying to troll or anything. Just set a high goal and want to achieve it.
    Like I said Ill see how it goes this weekend and go from there :)

    It says you joined in June....tomorrow is September....

    I would say you're not a math person are you?

    You know, I may have to go against the flow here, and say GO FOR IT! It seems to me that you've figured it out pretty well, and as you will be eating back a lot of those calories, you won't be starving your body. So, best of luck to ya! Make sure to drink water, and try adding various calisthenics over the course of the day to bump up that last little bit.
    Now, that being said, it goes against my goals right now, but I wholeheartedly support you in it. :)

    I agree...I say GO FOR IT!

    Good Luck!

    AMEN! teehee

    Anyway, to the OP... I'm thinking burpees, jumping jacks, box jumps over and over and over and over. :laugh:

    Thats Me ;)

    I found out this was an online community yesterday. Before I thought this was just an iphone calorie tracker app.

    I'll also video record this so you see where /when I fail :)

    That's TOTALLY what I thought this thread was going to be about. And I was like "hmm, that's a lot but I could probably do it."

    Sounds like a pretty good way to injure yourself and completely wreck your goals to me.

    Most people don't know that there's a forum until they log on to a computer.
    I joined in February but didn't find the forums until May.

    You really opened up a can of worms.

    You can do it if you want to. Let us know how it went.

    Friday night - Gym- 60 min on treadmill at 3.5 mph at 8-10% incline. 30 min HIIT. Lifting weights
    (1000 cal)

    Saturday- 6 mile hike through some of phoenix mountains2-3 hours. Gym- 1 hr bicycling more weight lifting- swimming laps 1 hr
    (2400 cal)

    Sunday- 2 mile jog. 1 hour p90x. 1-2 hours of soccer.
    (2000 *assuming 2 hrs of soccer, playing midfield, constant running)

    Total: 5400 cal

    Those are my *generous* estimates, based on my own stats- I don't know how big you are, etc. So don't take the numbers at face value- just as a sanity check. I think 11,000 cals over a weekend is kind of insane, unless you are a serious athlete and your body is conditioned for it.

    Hey! This thread is *no* place for your fancy math stuff.

    =\

    3500 calories equals a lb
    1800 (for smaller female)calories a day to maintain weight x 7 days = 12600
    12600/3500= a 3.6 weight loss over the weekend
    12600/3 days in the weekend = you most net negative 4200 calories per day
    I can burn about 600 calories at the gym doing cardio over the course of 60 minutes.

    For me this would equate to eating 1000 calories and spending a little over 5 hours at the gym doing cardio.
    Possible but I am not up for the killer weekend... and my gym has shortened hours on the weekends.
