    Does this mean we have to eat extra to make for this 7000 calorie burn -- will our bodies require more fuel?

    I have done 1000 calories a day before and its tiring, but well worth it:)

    Yes you should eat more.There are those that will tell you you should eat all your exercise calories!.I believe in eating when my body tells me to!

    Saturday - 698 calories (65 minutes of Biggest Loser Wii Workouts including a custom cardio routine and yoga)

    Sunday - 530 calories (48 minutes with a 3-mile Walk Away the Pounds DVD by Leslie Sansone)

    So, my total is 1,228 calories. Only 2,272 to go.

    Monday - 0 calories. (That's right. I happen to be sick [to the stomach] again for the second time this month. Ugh, gallbladder surgery didn't help at all.)

    Tuesday - 227 calories (Still very sick, but I did it just for you guys! :) )

    I have until Friday on my little challenge. 1,455 out of 3,500. Only 2,045 left. About 700 calories per day. Pff, I can do that! (If I'm feeling better, ugh)

    I agree, burning 1000 per day is a ferocious goal. I know a hardcore spin class burns about 731 calories for me, but to do that plus another half hour or so it would take on the eliptical for 7 days in a row. Wow. Good luck!! Hope you all do great, I'm sure you'll pull it off with dedication. Keep us posted. I know I don't have the drive.

    2,372 out of 3,500. 1,128 left to go!

    Almost doubting that I burned that much. HRM must be wacky, but oh well. :) Still sick, yet completely crazy. Can't eat and I'm still exercising. I haven't even had 917 calories worth of food in the past 3 days. I was feeling a bit better, so I actually ate something for lunch today... Eh, it can't be too healthy to exercise and not eat. Thanksgiving is stressing me out just a wee bit.. And I might not even feel better tomorrow to eat anything!

    K, I am doing this from memory but, approximately:

    Sunday: 1080
    Monday - 1020
    Tuesday- 1010
    Wednesday- 1008

    Today so far - at least 500.
    Will be tricky today because I have to work and then go over to a friend's house. Maybe I can convince them to go on like a 5 mile walk! very very doubtful. then by the time I get home it will be dark (and I don't really want to walk/run out in the dark, and the gym is closed). maybe I'll do another easier workout video tonight, since I have the Insanity plyometrics in the morning. Eek! I really want to make it to 7000 by Sat night!! Good job everyone, and even if you didn't make 7000 it is still great that you pushed yourself -thats what counts!

    Thank you collettemrk! :)

    Friday - 689 calories

    This was the last day of my challenge. I don't know if I've done enough, but there's still time today if I need a couple more. :P

    698 + 530 + 0 +227 + 917 + 512 + 689 = 3,573. Yay! I did it!

    I think I'll give it a week or two and then do a... 4500 burn calorie perhaps. :)

    Great job all, especially to those that succeeded. I faltered. I had burned 5499 by the 23rd. I have to tell you I'm not totally unhappy with that since I spent 12 hours in the jeep one of those days and another day getting ready. Okay, okay, I'm making excuses. LOL

    I'll be ready for the next one.

    Well, I made it to about exactly 7000 from Sunday to Saturday last week!!! So happy! I have weigh in tomorrow morning so I'll see if it helped at all, but whether it did or not I am just glad I stuck to my goal!!

    Only 3500 for this week, but I might try the 7000 again after finals are done. I'll just be happy if I can manage 3500 per week until school's out! Great job to everyone who pushed themselves!!!

    Great, I found this old post, and I've been burning over 7000 kcal a week. Since I realized I burn a fair amount, I set myself the challenge two weeks ago. In my 2nd week, I've altered between lifting, walking/hiking, stationary bike (which gives correct kcal count) and cobrafit/pilates class. I might try a ballet class, later lol as it involves a lot of stretching, which is good for my old bones. Anyhow, I'll post the numbers at the end of the week.
