    Ok.. I think I am thinking too far into this Challenge... so the point it to NOT eat our exercise calories this week right??? We want 3500 that we DONT eat back? Or can we eat the back and just make sure we burn them???

    No, you aren't. I had the same question and sent her a message. All we need to do is try to burn 3500 cals this week. It's up to us if we eat the exercise cals back. I always eat my exercise calories:happy:

    I think I will try and follow along with you guys here. But I don't have a HRM yet so I'm not sure exactly how many calories I am burning but I will just work really hard. I am also going out to but a digital scale in the next few days so I can read it better. I have only started my weight loss and toning journey a week ago so everything is new to me. Can someone explain to me about the calorie deficit if I am supposed to eat 1200 a day and I burn 500 calories working out that changes my calorie intake to 1700 right? So if I eat the 1700 did I really burn anything? Would I lose any weight? or do I still just eat the 1200 so I have a deficit? This question is in general not really pertaining to the challenge I am just trying to understand weight loss and how to do it. Thanks

    I am 146 as of this morning I hope to lose at least 1 pound a week

    chest 34"
    waist 37"
    legs 23 1/2"
    arms 11 1/2"
    hips 38 1/2"

    my goal for June 25 is 129 that would be 1 pound a week for 17 weeks and that would bring us to the 25th of June. And would be so so so awesome.

    If you are set to lose 1 lb per week on MFP and it gives you 1200 calories and you burn another 500 through exrercise, if you eat up to 1700 calories that day, you should be on track to lose the 1 lb for the week.

    Burning 3500 cals is a big challenge! I am a full time student and I work part time. I have a 3 year old daughter. I am doing my first Sprint Triathlon in June and losing some extra weight would sure make that easier! I am also going on a cruise in August and would love to not have to wear a cover up in all of my pictures! SW: 155 GW: 141

    Alright: DAY ONE!

    My name is Sara-Jane and I'm turning 24 or March 26th.

    My height is 5'6.5" and I'm looking to lose 15 pounds in 17 weeks.

    SW: 153
    GW: 138

    I have been a member on here for a year but didnt actually get serious until october. Since that time I have gone from 170 ibs to 153 and am down from a size 14 to a size 10. ( a snug 10, but a 10 nonethe less!!)

    this challenge will be great to bring me into summer and keep me going through the pounds that are supposedly going to be my most challenging. They say the closer you get to your goal the harder it will be. Wish me luck ladies!

    Hello Everyone! My name is Caitlin. I'm 25 and have been a little over weight my whole life. At the begining of the year my Dad and my brother decided to get serious about getting healthy and getting in shape. Weight has been creeping up on all of us for a while, so we are trying to kick it in the butt before it gets out of control.

    I'm 5'3"
    SW: 184.2
    CW: 175.3
    Goal weight for the end of the year: 140
    Goal weight for the end of June: 155

    2/28 Weigh in today: 123 pounds.
    Goal weight : 118 pounds
    Goal weight to lose per week: 1 pound
    Should reach my goal by April 7. But will need to maintain through the summer.
    My history shows that once I get to my goal I throw everything out the window and I don't want to do that this time. I want to look great by summer time.

    Height: 5'5

    Current Weight: 158.2
    Week one goal: 157.5
    Main goal to hit by June: 149.9
    Inch Goal: 1 from waist 1.5 from Hips

    Hi All! I forgot to do this yesterday. I have been on MFP since late August. I had a 2 month plateau - and not for the lack of strenuous effort- sometimes it just happens. and finally broke through at the end of January. and then I got a little lazy- not too much- but just a little. Trying to snap myself back into it! Hoping to be in the 140s by my cruise in June. Goal is approx .5 lb per week. Although if I didn't lose a pound but lost inches I would be ECSTATIC! Good luck to everyone!:drinker:

    I saw this challenge at work today - sounds great!

    Current Weight: 172.5
    One week goal: 171
    June goal: 155

    I am off to a great start! With this goal in mind I burned 569 calories which is up from my normal range of 440. These numbers are according to the elliptical machine so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I know for sure I worked harder tonight than I ever have!

    Feel free to add me - I'm new around here!
