How many calories do you burn in a week? I'm going to aim for at least 1400. Can you do the same?

    Been averaging 1500 a week as doing shred daily at the moment. Having a great day for using calories today as tackling the garden. With that in mind will aim for 2500 this week, which will mean some hard work! :tongue:

    I'm in! I'll aim for 3000-3500 calories burned. I try to hit 500 each day with exercise so hopefully I can manage that this week. Most weeks I do unless I'm traveling or sick, or something comes up. With most of my aunts currently facing health problems it could be a challenge this week but I'm up for it!

    I'm around 1400 calories... I'll shoot for 3000 this week
  • I've never really paid attention to my weekly burn so this should be fun! Yesterday I traded my workout for the Rockies/Pirates game and some nachos so I'm a little behind. I figure about 400 a day doing turbo, over 6 days is 2400. So I'll shoot for 3000!

    So far between Sunday and Monday I'm at 1315 calories burned through regular exercise. This puts me well on my way to hitting my goal for the week!

    508 today which makes 1741 so far. Very happy with today's total as am away from home which would normally mean pigging out and no exercise!

    Up to 1939 so far. I may have under estimated my calories for the week . . .

    I don't usually pay attention to what I burn in a week so this is eyeopening.

    503 today making my day 4 total 2244, going to up my week target from 2500 to 3500 as I'm enjoying the challenge!
  • Today is my rest day and I'm taking full advantage. It's also day 3 of my three day shakeology cleanse so my energy is minimal, so it worked out great! I did do a bunch of cleaning around the house for about 245 calories which brings me to 1221 with 1779 to crush in the next 3 days, I'm thinking I'm going to fall short.

    Total calories burned since Sunday: 3161. Woot! Met my goal already, everything else is just a bonus!
  • I'm only at about 1700 right now. =[ I'll hit 2000 for sure, but that's 1000 lower than what my goal was. Whoops. I'll try again next week!
