    Count me in on this challenge too! I usually get pretty close, but have never actually reached 3500. This week will be the week!

    I really planned on doing this, but I fell this morning and fractured my wrist. do you think it would be okay if I don't start until tomorrow? If you all think it is cheating, then I will just drop out.

    thanks

    Vickele ohhhh that sucks about your wrist but start when ever you feel like. I am going to be trying to get my 3500 calories burned in 5 days maybe 6 if I need it. I always take at least one rest day in the week.

    I have been such an exercise slacker lately, I think this is the PERFECT challenge for me. :) I will keep you all posted.

    thanks, I am trying to figure out what I can do - possibly just the treadmill.

    Only burned 300 today. Started Couch 2 5k today & burned 150 in 20 minutes. Walked tonight & burned 150 calories in 30 minutes.

    Tried to start my Wii EA Sports Challenge tonight but one of the cats chewed the sensor cord. Then went to Walmart because their website said they had it in stock... but no. =/ So, I already have burned calories to make up! If I get up early enough tomorrow, I'll do a dvd & then EA Sports Challenge at night after hubby shops around for a new sensor tomorrow. I plan on also doing C25k & a walk tomorrow night. That should help w/ the deficit.

    How did everyone else do?

    Burned 500 calories on the nose

    did a 30 min run with a 4min warm up and 1 min cool down
    than this evening I did a 30 min walk on the treadmill.. than 25 mins of strength training than another 13 min walk.
    That is 500 according to my HRM - Actually, when I started running this morning it kept telling me my heart rate was really high, so after a few minutes I finally adjusted the chest strap - so I subtracted 40 cals from my run this morning, and made myself do 540 according to the HRM to be safe!!
