    Hi, everyone! I did a challenge very similar to this in May of last year. I'll start my goal at 3500 and see where that leads me. Since starting school, I don't have much time to exercise - or at least that's what I thought. But last week, I worked out after school. I didn't get done until 8 most nights, but I worked out. Good luck everyone!

    That's nice but this one has been going on for over a year and the reason I didn't put in in a group is so that new people could find it easily with out having to search through groups which are mostly dead.

    How do you figure out how many calories you burned?

    How ever you would normally calculate your calories burned HRM, the machine, or going off what MFP tells you.
