    No you can set your own calorie goals the minimum is 3500 (even though some will do lower for their own personal reasons) and some people started at 3500 and increase it every week.

    HOORAY! I love this challenge. My goal last week was 5000 but I didn't quite make it, even though I started the week off strong. TOM came to visit on Friday and effed everything up! Back on track this week. My goal will be 5000 again. I did the Shred already this morning but I'm going to add up all my calories and log them tonight, after I hit the gym.

    Weekly Goal: 5000
