    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!

    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...

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

    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!

    Great job!!! You can keep up with this - its all about learning how to make your health and fitness one of the priorities in your life. Good for you :)

    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.

    I am going to jump in and join this challenge a little late. I hope that is okay. I totally got thrown off my rhythym due to the storms we have been having in Virginia. We were out of power for three days and a lot of people are still without power. Everything being a mess was hard but i got back on track.

    Yesterday i burned 695 calories doing intervals on my elliptical.
    Today i burned 359 calories walking.

    I am going to have to kick it into gear to make 3500. I love having a challenge to motivate me!

    So afer this week I have burned 2330. I will make the challenge of 3500 this week. My issue is I can't stop eating. I have eaten a total of 6514 calories. I am supposed to have 4800 calories for the last 4 days. So although I have worked out I have eaten every calorie "earned'.

    I need to find a way to either work out more or to eat less and since I am hungry all the time I better work out.
    Rather discouraged.

    I just found this challenge, so I'm a bit late to the game, but I'm going to try to get as much done as possible! Today is a rest day for me, but I'm going to do some cardio, anyhow.

    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.

    ^^ Same here. I'm so glad I found this group. I read a motivational quote a few days ago that said "Make July Your *****" and I totally plan on doing that! ; )
