    Sounds like a great idea! With two little kids and two jobs I don't see how I could possibly burn 7000 a day, but seeing as that I usually burn about 200-800 with exercise, I'll really push myself for 2000. Are we including the calories burned at rest also. (Example: Someone of my weight and height burns about 1400 a day doing nothing.) If that's the case- I'll boost up the number.

    No ..only calories burned through exercise! Good Luck!!

    I think I mis-understood the original post and thought you were asking for how many calories to burn in a day-not a week! You'd have to be a super hero to burn that much, though. I'll blame sleep deprivation. :-) I'm chaning my weekly goal to 4000.

    Boy, you can really tell which days I work, can't you? This is a great motivation for me to get up a little bit earlier and get on the elliptical on work days!
