    totally inspiring!
    I aim to burn at least 600 because I also aim to burn 3500 a week. 3500 burned = 1lb lost lol so that is my goal. I have a heart rate monitor so in between my weight sets I do jumping jacks and different things to keep my heart rate up so I can count the calories, and I also do 20-30 min of HIIT cardio on those days, the other 3 days I run 5 miles...phew....lol

    whats body media fit?

    I have a Body Media fit ... and on days when I dont run I burn about 2800 calories. On days when I run its usually over 4000 total!



    Ummmm, just wow.....that's an incredible burn....

    When I do cardio, I aim for at *least* 10 cal/minute or higher. I try to do intense cardio (at least 40 min) on the elliptical 2x week and additional 20 minutes on the bike or power walking. Those are big burn days.

    Other 2x week I do strength, which my HRM is telling me I can burn anywhere from 300-400 in about 50 minutes. On these days I also try to hop on the bike for at least 20 minutes. For the bike, I am still trying to work up to a 10 cal/minute burn - I'm close!

    Other day or two it depends on what I feel like doing, if anything.

    BodyMediaFit is an armband like the BodyBugg, worn 24/7, except while showering or swimming as it is not waterproof. It tells you your total calories burned midnight to midnight, tracks your steps, and tracks yoyur sleep efficiency. It has a small display unit you can clip anywhere or wear as a watch with the optional watchband.

    Just eat less than it says and you lose. Simple as that. Just not too much less or you'll starve. I aim for less than a 500 cal deficit a day.
    Example: mine says I am at 1567 cals as of right now, 4:21 PM. It will certainly be above 2000 by midnight, so I'll eat up to 1800 before bed.

    No guesswork, no tracking exercise calories to eat or not eat...just ONE fluid number that counts up throughout the day. It tells you how many minutes of moderate activity, how many of vigorous activity, the trip meter tells you how many cals from a time you start it till a time you stop it, along with cals per minute...

    it's simply the most amazing thing in the world.

    Lately, I've been keeping between 300 - 1000 calories burned. The lower end is from weight lifting only days and the higher is from cardio. This is usually 6 days a week. I've had 1,400 calorie burn days, but then I'm forced to eat more.

    I burn 1900-2600 in a typical day.

    Only about 200-300 of it is from planned exercise.

    I aim to burn over 400 in cardio at least 4 days a week at the gym although often with family and other obligations, it ends up being only 3 days. I also lift and then throw in a few fast walks with the dog during the week as well.

    Im with her - I cannot say enough good things about it. Its like anything else, you get what you put in. But I always sync mine.... I try to eat 500-750 calories under what I burn ... no more than that! I was stuck on a plateau before I bought it... I have lost officially ....10.6 pounds since I started using it in March!

    Another BodyMedia Fit user here - on a regular non-workout day (about two of those a week) I burn around 2600 calories a day. On workout days it's more in the 3500 range.
