    that's an awesome goal, do you have a set exercise plan that you use to achieve a certain calorie burn each day? I am just getting back in to exercising or walking for exercise, My goal is to walk at least 30 minutes each day. not major, but doesn't 21 days of repeating an activity make it a habit? May the force of good health be with you.

    I try to exercise for 30 minutes everyday. I work more towards calorie goal then minutes. I am also a brown belt in Tang Soo Do Karate which I try to attend 4 times a week. Classes are between 60 and 90 minutes which = 1400+ calorie burn.

    Can I be in on this too please?? My husband and I are going to Cabo on the 22nd and need some motivation to get my body toned for the vacation and lose a few extra pounds. This sounds great!! I definately would like to be exercising everyday for at least 30 minutes. Makes me accountable for the 15000 calories too.

    Make sure I'm checkin in. :laugh:

    Well all this is the 2nd Saturday in July - Which means time to check in. Congrats to everyone for getting in there workouts. Also welcome to all the new comers! :) Here is my update.

    So I was just a little heavier this morning. Not to mention mother nature is messing with my body - blah - I tend to hate mother nature at least when she is visiting me.

    I did however lose 3/8 inch in my neck, 1 6/8 inch in the waist, and 1/2 inch in my hips.

    For my July Challenge of burning 15k calories I am doing awesome. So far I have burned 9396/15000 :)

    Well all this is the 3rd Saturday in July - Which means time to check in. Congrats to everyone for getting in there workouts. Also welcome to all the new comers! :) Here is my update.

    I was able to log a weight reduction of 6.6 lbs this week (talk about excited). I do believe most of the loss came from mother nature taking her leave :)

    My neck and waist measurements remained the same and I lost another 7/10 of an inch in my hips.

    For my July Challenge of burning 15k calories I am doing awesome. So far I have burned 12742/15000 :)
