    I'll try it. I burn 6711 last week and I feel like I can definitely improve on that!

    I'm going with 7000 for this week.
    For me, that's about 10 hours of working out.

    I am up for this challenge! I have an insurance health screening next Wednesday, so this is right on track for me doing the best I can before the appointment at 6 am on Wed. This is probably way more than I have ever done, but I am looking forward to it.

    Please put up whatever numbe you'll think you can hit but will have a tough time reaching it. You don't have to do 10,000 unless you think you can safely push yourself to do it.

    I'd love to do a challenge because it may help motivate me. I haven't done anything for over a week due to a "tweeked" back so I need to kick start all over again. I see these types of challenges often.

    Just keeping total for the week right? Don't mean to sound stupid but I usually making things out to be harder than they are because I try to read what is NOT there. I'll shoot for 3000 since I'm just starting back in since my back.

    I need to take a breather this week, after making my goal of 10,000 calories last week. But I hope you will do this again soon. It's good for me to push myself. Good luck everyone!

    I flunked out of this last week, it seems. But after a small 'push' to get me going. (Thanks, MauiDave!) I am back and ready to kick some 7-day challenge butt! So, as last time I'll have to post my progress the morning AFTER each day... My blackberry just doesn't like this site. :(
    So, Day # 1... Here we go!
