Hi, I'm Zara. Myself and some are my friends are having a calorie challenge. Just introduce yourselves. Starting from tomorrow you can put starting weight if you wish, completely optional! Then calories burnt for the day and total for the week so far. I want to be under that next stone next week, but ill have to work hard for it. Thought it would be a wonderful way to motivate everyone! Hopefully we will all just do a bit more than usual and have fantastic results! Good luck everyone!!! Any questions? Message me. Zara x

    Just out of curiosity, some of you show that you burned like, 1600 calories. I eat less than that a day and I exercise off between 400 and 600 a day. I notice that you weigh in , in stones..... do you count your calories burned different , as well? I am just curious.

    No calories burnt are exactly the same as you. We do weigh in pounds too, its just that every 14lbs is 1 stone, so if you weigh 18 stone 1lb, its 18 x 14 + 1. Discussed this at great length with professionals and on here and I've your really over weight its ok to run big deficits apparantly. Its working so far. I wouldn't burn that much every day though, maybe 1 or 2 days max per week zara

    Absolutely amazing!!! Well done! Don't know if it will help you, but I break my work out up into little bits through out the day, seem to be able to manage more, if I do it all at once I can't do much for days after! Your doing amazing! Proud of you honey x

    Thanks lady. I got up especially early to follow your example and do some strength training before I went out. Think I will try and work exercise into my morning routine as it gives me the opportunity to do something else later. Otherwise I put off exercising until later in the day and then only get one hit at it.
    Today was such a high amount because I was cleaning out cages, etc. I only go to the rescue every 1-2 weeks so like to put in a good day's effort while I'm there.
    Thanks for your support. x

    Aw, the more I learn about you the more I love you to pieces! Your so wonderful! Doing some in the morning is great! It lifts your mood, loosens your muscles and kick starts your metabolism for the day. Its also when you burn most fat, so I'm told. Also if you've got the energy you can top up the cals later, or relax knowing you've already done some! I definately love kick starting my day with exercise now, even though its sometimes really hard! Lol. Have a great nights sleep! Sure you will after today! X
