    My goal is 24000. That's ~6000 a week, about 774 a day if I were to work out every single day (which I won't lol).

    wow, high numbers here! Is that 2hours of cardio/ 6 days a week?

    I'm aiming for a modest 11 000.

    They are high numbers, but I do a lot. Cardio at the gym then at home Insanity AND RevAbs 6 days a week. Also various sports several times a week. At the gym i use the Arc trainer and burn way more calories vs the elliptical, treadmill, or bike.

    I would have set a little higher due to all the activity, BUT I am unsure when I am going back to DDS and that knocks me out of working out for a bit.

    I know 24000 is a lot, but May → warmer weather → biking, biking, biking (+ other exercises I do) :)

    My goal is 10,000 to 12,000 - not as high as some of the others posted here. But I know that this will be a good challenge for me! :smile:

    I have 25 open days in May, and I plan on burning an extra 1,000 cals on each of those days, for a total of 25,000 extra burned. i know it is high, but i take long 2 hour walks and use a Fitbit.

    Good luck everyone!

    You go, Ladies!

    Thanks for the tip on the Polar. I've been wanting to get an HRM in a looooong time. I'll check my options today.

    Got mine and I'm so happy I did. I tried two others in the past few months and they just were not up to par. Just because they say they have the same functions does not mean they are the same....it ROCKS. There is nothing like knowing that you are tracking your progress acurately. I had to get a new scale, too. The last one was a piece of crap. I have learned my lesson, you really do get what you pay for and I need to stop wasting money on cheaper alternatives, that are basically useless.

    My goal is 15,500, that is an average of 500 per day. Challenging, yet doable. :happy:

    I just added up mine from last month, 2417. Not nearly as high as some of you, but I am doing good if I can fit a 2 mile walk in at night. 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.

    I am not sure of a goal to be honest. I'm thinking 6,000-8,000 sounds good for me. Gotta make time for me!!
