    Right now I'm sitting on 881 or nearly halfway to my goal of 2,000.
    I'm jealous of everyone's calorie burns! I just can't burn that much but my burn is better than none at all.
    Keep up the great work everyone!

    Don't worry about everyone else. You are doing great! One day at a time. The less you have to lose the less your calorie burn will be. I have taken circuit training course on Mon. and Tues. to get the high calorie burn (500+). Tomorrow I am planning on just some cardio so my number will be around 400. Stay motivated!!

    Thanks for the kind words :) I'm looking forward to reaching the 2,000 by Sunday.
    I burned 353 at the gym this morning which brings my current total up to 1234!
    Only 766 to go and three days! Eeek!

    I'm joining the challenge too! It just so happened that I decided to try 2400 this week, so I'll try that first and who knows, maybe 3000 next week!:drinker:

    Completely forgot about this challenge until now! Oops! I didn't go to the gym this morning but I did work all night so perhaps I burned a little from that. I'll be working all day tomorrow (might get some stock lifting in) and Sunday might involve some light walking. Darn! I'm content with being half-way though.

    calmmomw3minim -- Welcome to the challenge, and good luck! :)

    biztrav3, mjd0109 -- Great work!! Keep it up! :)

    cfehnel -- CONGRATS!!! Great job!

    AimingForPretty -- You've done well, and it sounds like you have a fairly physically demanding job, that's great!

    I'm currently holding at 1295 / 4000. I had to take it easy after my jog on the treadmill the other day, because either my IT band or hamstring on my left leg started flaring up again (pain behind my knee, hurts to bend leg)... it's beginning to feel better today, so I'm planning on letting it recover today and hope to get some sort of workout in this evening, and then do as much as I can over the weekend to get as close to my 4000 calorie goal as I possibly can!! I'm not giving up! :-D

    Hope everyone has a GREAT Friday!

    You've gotta be super careful when it comes to pain behind the knee! Have you been diagnosed or been to the Dr? When its pain behind the knee, it could mean problems with your ACL, mcl, or a number of other ligaments that help stabilize the knee. I tore my ACL completely last year and had to have a piece of my hamstring cut out and graphed as a new ACL but after I tore it I had pain everywhere lol (but also behind the knee) and I couldn't bend it. Just be careful and consider seeing a doc if it continues or gets worse!

    mjd0109 -- I haven't been to the doctor or diagnosed yet. My left knee will occasionally swell, and I feel pain behind it, especially when I try to bend the knee. It tends to happen after I've been running (especially on the treadmill, which is one reason I cannot wait to get back outside to run!), or if I've been doing a LOT of jumping type exercises, or just overdoing it in general really. It doesn't tend to hurt while I'm exercising, only after. Whenever it happens, I scale back, elevate, ice, soak, treat it with much care, until it's feeling back to normal again. I am extra careful not to push it to the point of major injury. And, I definitely plan to check with my doctor if it gets worse or begins happening more and more often. Thanks for your advice and sharing your experience. I appreciate it!

    Madsin, you've done great for being sick part of the week... well done!!

    jenneyd, AWESOME!! Congrats! Such great calorie burn each day!!

    My weekly total is currently at 2117. A little over halfway to my 4000 calorie goal, with just tomorrow left. I will do my best then; however, with being a little sick one day this week plus my knee giving me warning signs to chill, I think I still did pretty well! No matter what happens tomorrow, I will restart on Monday, with 4000 being my goal again. What's YOUR goal for next week?

    I've been doing this goal for a while but I wanted to join a group for it. Is it too late for me to join? I'd love to officially start tomorrow! My goal is 6000 for the week -- about 860 each day. If it's too easily done maybe I'll up it to 7000!

    Thanks for the encouragement Mary. Still gonna try to get in a good work out for the last day but I'm here for the goal next week again.
    I wish I felt 100% I guess I have Laryngitis. The voice is gone but I can still work my butt off LOL.
    I will update my total for the week a little later. Hoping for 3000

    It's never too late! We'll be resetting and restarting tomorrow. I'm shooting for 4,000 again, just approaching my workout schedule a little differently this time around. Best of luck!

    Madsin, I'm glad you're coming back to the thread next week! I hope you feel better soon!!

    Back with my update:
    Elliptical, weights & circut training 812 calories
    Grand total for the week 3056/4000

    Thanks Mary, see ya next week, I hope your knee is feeling better and we will both try again starting Monday.

    Mary what are you doing to get such good numbers for weight loss. I have been stuck at a plateau for over a month or two now. A little lb or two up and down. I originaly started back in October so 20 lbs lost since then is not all that bad I know that.
    I know my body is probably just adjusting, but I need a kick start again.
    So I have been trying to up the excercise of course. I just notice my clothes fit real loose and my friends notice what I've lost I just want to get down another 20-30. I have also tried to zig zag with the calories. Right now I changed my goal settings instead of 1200 calories I went to 1400 and added more % to the protein.
    Would love any advice anyone can give.
    Happy to be here with all the support everyone gives it sure helps.

    Rhonda
