    Sweet! Sounds great!! I tried to get to 3500 calories last week with another group, and made it to 2937... I worked out 6 times, and with one more, I'm SURE I would have made it! :tongue: :laugh:

    I'll give it a go... though 3500 calories is a LOT for me - i usually get about 2000 on a good week. (3 zumba classes and some walking)

    Eek - didn't do the best last week (didn't get many workouts in and then stopped counting the portions) BUT - I am IN for this week! Even when I don't meet the challenge, I appreciate having little goals in mind that help with my overall awareness of health and fitness. Yay for new weeks and being able to start over!
