My goal for the first week (May 1-May 7) is only 2,000 calories since I have final exams, college graduation, my family visiting, my little brother's birthday, and an out-of-state trip this week. With how busy I will be, I may not make that goal but I am determined to burn AT LEAST 1,000 calories.
Also, I burned over 4,000 calories last week so I want to go easy this week to avoid injury.

To make my goal of 10,000 I need to do 2262 a week. So that is this weeks goal for me.0

May is here! Let's rock it!
My aim for the first week is 2500. It's pretty brave because I'll have a busy schedule, just like you, Ashley. Between a Friday brunch and a Friday wedding, followed by a one day trip on Saturday, I hope I can still make it.
Lori, best of luck!0 -
My goal is 1200 calories. It seems realistic, and I'm not here to win but for motivation. With finals, getting to the gym will either be a stress reliever and I will go over this goal but I may also not be able to find the time. For anyone else with my problem, I find reviewing notes is really easy on the stationary bike!

My goal for the first 7 days is 6,300... I have my niece's confirmation on Sunday, but if I have to, I will do a major evening workout!!
I burned a little over 6000 last week (in a challenge I made for myself!!) So, I know I can do it!! :bigsmile: 0 -
My goal for the first week is 6000. Shouldn't be that hard to hit it as I'm still doing Insanity.
Good luck everyone!0 -
Hi!
I can´t believe it´s already May. So my goal for the first week is 4800. Let´s see how this goes. Good luck everyone! 0 -
May is finally here.
My first week goal is to get to the gym at least on 4 days and to do cardio for 30 mins at least. I have a weird knee pain whenever I'm biking outside and I want to avoid injury at any cost.
I'm hoping I'll get to at least 2000 cals before Tuesday.
Good luck everyone!0 -
Still laid up with a back issue, so 2000 may be a stretch. Though if it clears up by the weekend, over 3,000 will be easy. So, 3,000 it is!0

My goal for this week is 1470 calories burned..this evening is my daughters birthday party its a bowling a party..I also signed up for another challenge via Gracious Pantry (http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/summer-fit-challenge/) which should keep me going as well. I set my goal low for this month at 6500 calories in hopes that I can beat it since I'm new to the fitness thing, however I don't want to become overwhelmed I am a very busy Mom.0
-
My goal this week is 3500. That's quite a chanllenge for me since I usually only burn around 300 cals per day.0
-
Happy birthday for your daughter! Have a good time tonight.
Tax, hope you recover soon!0 -
My goal for this challenge is 2000 cals per week, but looking ahead at my schedule I have one week in May where I will be lucky to even get in a walk. So I have decided I'd better bump up this week a bit to make up for the busy time to come and I will burn at least 2500 this week. It looks like spring has FINALLY sprung here in my area so it will be nice to get outside!0
-
My goal for this week is 3,500. It is the same goal for every week from now on. I plan on meeting that by continuing my strength training on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday...I start Yoga on Thursdays and cardio virtually everyday. It should be challenging, yet very well in reach.0
-
Frist Good Luck let's do this. Good luck on those finals, watch the study snacks. They can be murder, so my daughter tells me. Have fun at the wedding dance lots. You burn more calories then you think. Have fun bowling, remember what those birthday party's were like. Burned my frist 150 calories having a dance party with my granddaughter. Got to make this fun!0

~ My goal is 1500 calories burned, And 800 calories daily intake....
Lets get it done,, We all can do this!!!! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:0 -
My goal is to burn 1800 this week. I might me doing some p90x this whole month so that will be enough. I might burn even more calories which is GREAT......0
-
My goal for the 1st week is to burn 5000....should be very doable as this week will be my last week of hard training for the Tough Mudder on May 11th.
Good Luck Everyone....We've Got This!!! :drinker:0 -
I haven't trained this hard since high school athletics, but I'm really wanting to dedicate myself this month! So...
Minimum each week will be 3500 calories. However, with the training plan I've mapped out, I could be hitting 4880-5680 this week. Granted, that's IF I can do all the cardio/strength training I've planned. Going to give it my all this week and see where I end up.
Good luck and work hard everyone!!
COMMIT TO BE FIT!0 -
:laugh:
My goal is 3300 each week, but I want to bump up this week's effort (maybe to 4000 or so), as I'm spending a long weekend in Vegas next week and will miss 2 days of work outs).
Good luck, guys!!!0 -
I"m with @kyleyjo1 - my goal this 1200 this week!! I've burned 986 since Sunday!! WHOOP!! WHOOOP! Too bad that doesn't go with this weeks!0
-
My total goal for May is 16,000 so that's just over 500 per day. So, that's 3,613 for each week.
Tonight will be a challenge to get a workout in. It's Game 1 of the Leafs vs. Bruins and I've been waiting 9 years for some playoff action! I can watch from the treadmill, but it's not in hi-def.
Off to figure out how many minutes I need to walk in order to burn 516 calories, which I'll most likely convert directly into beer.

First day....first set back.
I was already to workout this morning - bag was packed! BUT in our hometown we had a massive fire in the center of town. My husband is a fire fighter so needless to say I was unable to sleep, let alone get up and get to the gym at 6:00 A.M. (On a side note - there were no injuries!)
I will try to get a walk in this evening, but my daughters have a double header softball game!
I will get this day made up!0 -
Rachel, happy to hear there were no casualties. You'll make up for today in no time. Just redistribute 10 mins for each of the next workouts.
On this side of the world the day is almost over. Burned 500 on the treadmill today. Totally on plan!
I think someone mentioned having a calorie intake of only 800. Careful with that! We want to lose weight but also stay healthy in the process. That amount is very very small.0
