    I have some catching up to do. Was planning on doing more walking last night and ended up with a migraine. tried JM shred this morning and could on do 8 minutes due to said migraine. I have a meeting until 9 tonight so I will have to get creative on how to make up some caloric burn. Tomorrow I have off work and plan to romp in the pool a bit. That should help... I hope...

    I just found this group and would like to join you all. I don't know if I can burn 3500 calories in a week, but I'm willing to try! Thanks for the suggestions on workouts. That is helpful! Good luck to everyone.

    Hope you feel better soon :) And a romp in the pool sounds like a great way to burn some calories!

    I burned about 480 last night in the pool, then 250 this morning with the JM 30DS. So I am on my way! Will do JM every day and then the pool some days to round it out.

    Today was my strength training day so I only burned 95 calories during my cardio warm up. I am sure I burned calories during my circuit training, but not sure how to measure that -I don't have a HRM:(

    We have some real troopers in this group! If I shot for 1000 calories, I would be wiped out the next day. My fitness level and health issues make calorie burning a real challenge right now...but I get just a little bit better every day. You all are a great inspiration, keep it going!

    Romping around the pool burns more calories than you'd think :)

    MFP also counts cleaning and cooking as cardiovascular. It's not much but when you do a lot of both a day it adds up :)

    Finally decided to stop making excuses. I was not doing the workouts I wanted because the kids are home, and they can get in the way, or distract me. Today, I decided that if I keep using them as my excuses I am never going to get this weight off, so I popped in my Walk Off the Pounds video and away I went. Here's to keeping it going!

    Happy 4th everyone. I finished my workouts early today. Walked this morning and JMBR this afternoon. Here are my stats:

    Walked 40 minutes - 203 cals burned

    JMBR cardio 1 - 317 cal burned

    So far I've burned a grand total of 1485...that's Mon-Wed

    I don't have a HRM so I'm being very conservative with my numbers.
