    I love this challenge, it subconsciously makes you push yourself. This will be my 2nd week. Last week I went for 3500 and exceeded by 1690 for a total of 5190 calories burned for the week. This week I'll go for 4500. Good Luck to everyone.

    I am in again. This would be my 2nd week. Can I reduce my calories to 3000 this week. That would be a reasonable number for me.
