    My calculations say I should be able to do that if I exercise bike for 2 hours. I'm going to try to do it this weekend (in smaller increments of course.)

    If you can burn 1000 a day that is even better:) Go for it and you will win the challenge this week

    I could not exercise yesterday but went to the gym today and keeping this target of 1000 in mind all the time I have burnt 1320 cals today yayyy.

    Good effort guys but looks like this weekend has been slow. We need to push ourselves more to reach the target.

    Unfortunately I don't know how much I burn on my step machine exactly, so I always log 400 per hour. That would mean I burned 1200 on Saturday and 1200 today.

    Made It!!! 1139
    It's good to have these challenges. I was sitting here in one of those funky moods, feeling like I wanted a nap, then I thought about the challenge. I threw some shoes on and went for a long walk to finish up my calories. :tongue:

    Wow looks like everyone has finished the weekend with big numbers! Great effort everyone. I agree because of this challenge I pushed myself yesterday:) For all the known reasons weekends make us lazy especially in winter and extra efforts need to put in. Wishing everybody great Monday!

    I only made 822 burned this weekend. But, it was my weekend with my partners and we don't normally burn any recordable exercise, so I'm putting this as a win.

    I will be updating the stats over the next couple of days, so keep an eye out :) apologies for the delay, things are a bit manic here :)

    Yes I know the treadmill is for me but I also I a very high energy dog that needs extra walking. It's very cold here so we can't go out as much. I promise I will get back on track!!!!

    I got 580 in walking the dog for two days. Don't know how much for the two hours of shoveling snow, so let's call it 1000!
