Back by popular demand is the burn 3500 calories in a week challenge. 3500 calories was picked as the minimum calories burned since that equals 1 lb. Try to log how many calories you burned each day and how you did it. Otherwise this is a pretty loose challenge and anyone can join at any time.

Good luck logging all your exercise through the holiday. This is going to be really hard for me since I will not be at home.

The challenge goes Monday - Sunday 11/22 -11/28

    I'm in! This was a great challenge last week, because it really spurred me on to lengthen my morning work-outs! I'm getting up earlier, and added 30 - 60 minutes more each day....

    Will we check in here each day or not until next Sunday?

    Same way as last challenge. If you want to log it everyday please do, if not people can log it at the end of the week.

    W00T! Ready to roll....out of bed....not quite yet...LOL! I keep holding out hope that I will still burn some remaining calories for last weeks. But the sane part of me keeps thinking "Tara, take it easy and start fresh tomorrow for next week!"

    Week One: 4120

    Ready to attack Thanksgiving week HEAD ON!!!!

    Jane welcome this is just called the Thanksgiving addition since it is over the American Thanksgiving week but we are trying to do this challenge every week so it was just a way to change the name.
