    I'm in! I started a bootcamp last Friday and burned just over 1000 calories and have it every weekday this week! So I'm going to set my weekly goal at 6,000 calories burned. I'm guessing each weekday will be 800-1000 and then will try to burn at least 500 on Saturday and Sunday. I'm a huge fan of this because it means that I don't have to watch my calories as much--just need to make sure I get my protein, stay under carbs and sodium, and munch down some veggies.

    We can do this!

    I did 4600 last week. But this week I will be doing a lot of traveling. So I don't think I can make 4k this week. Maybe the min of 3500

    I am in again week #10. Week #9 was a bad week for me. It was the first time I did not make my goal:sad:. Lots of unplanned traveling for work. My goal this week is 4500.

    Great idea, I think! lol :) Hmmmm so that means burning 500 cal per day? I do that already. How about for me, making it 900 calories per day?

    Go ahead and set it for what every you want. 3500 the low end goal but you can set it as high as you want.
