    I already trained for today, you know we are "in the future" in Europe. And let me complain- I can't believe that I burned only 230 calories from such a vigorous weight lifting, let alone the cardio I did before and after that.:(:(:(
    So my goal for this week is 2300 calories. :)
    Good luck everybody.

    P.S. How do you calculate the weekly burned calories??

    My goals are a bit smaller than a lot, but I am doing good if I can fit a 2 mile walk in at night.
    I just added up my calories burnt from last month, 2417. This month, I am going to aim for 3100, which would put me at 700 a week. I am hoping to get more like 1,000 a week, but that depends on how much time I have.

    So excited that May is here!! I am off to the gym to start the burning!! Can't wait for Tuesday to see how everyone did. I am hopeful that this week being the first week I can burn 3500 calories. Fingers crossed and good luck everyone!! :bigsmile:

    Tatty, for the weekly total, each user has to add up the calories burned in the previous 7 days. Don't be discouraged. Little is way better than nothing :D

    AJ, enjoy your walks!

    Erin, happy to see someone as excited as I am. Let us know how it went ;)

    Hi Guys,
    My goal for this week is 4,000 calories. I must say though, those people who are aiming for 6,000 are very motivating! If I get close to that then I would be so happy!

    So far, I've burnt:
    Monday: 1,095
    Tuesday: 825
    Wednesday: 702

    I'm going to boot camp everyday and am really happy with my progress.

    Keep it up everyone!

    My goal is to burn 2500 total calories a day and get in 10,000 steps a day. With 500 of them coming from workouts totaling 3500 for the week. I'd like to drop at least 2lbs this week.

    My week 1 goal is 1500 calories.

    Okay...this doesn't sound like alot but the reason I joined this challenge is to develop the habit of working out. Im about 260lbs and in a typical workout I burn 300 calories. So at 300 calories a day and five days a week...I hope to burn 1500. I just did my workout and let me tell you...I'm DRENCHED in sweat!

    Vbailey keep it up! Just move, take it one step at a time. It doesn't matter the number of the goal, just that you made one and are sticking to it. We are all here for you.

    My goal for this week will be around 3000. I need a minimum of 2262 to keep on track, but with school beginning again next week, I figured I'd try and kick out as much as I can this week! I'll probably start 30 DS again (since I stopped about 2 weeks ago mid Level 3) :embarassed:

    Very excited for this challenge!

    ETA: Day 1: 503 calories

    Based on my plans for the week and the fact that we have company, my goal is 2,500 calories this week. Hopefully I will get more, but we'll see!

    So far I’ve got an average of 890 calories burned for the first three days of May and the sun hasn’t even set yet. Raising my Big Burn (sweaty :glasses: ) count to 28,000 (from 25,000) for rete’s May Challenge. That’s 903.2 calories burned per day; 6,323 a week!
