Calorie burn needed to loose at least 3lbs per week???
I'm in a fitness challenge at work. My goal is to loose at least 3 lbs per week. I'm down 7 lbs in 3 weeks. However, I need to loose at least 35 lbs by the time the challenge ends on June 28th. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet plan & work out 6 days a week. Any suggestions on how many calories I need to burn each day?

Talking too much on the machines
Yesterday, a lady got on the Arc Trainer next to me at the gym. I said hello to her, being the Southern lady that I am. :wink: The next thing you know she's carrying on a conversation and asking me questions, while I'm doing interval training and trying to catch my breath to talk.

Cleaning out the refrigerator
I finally came to the conclusion that you can't eat everything your kids eat and loose weight. The pizza, fries, and wings will catch up with you, even with exercising. My son is upset that there will be none of those goodies in the house for awhile, but he'll just have to get over it! :)

Candy Calories
Hello MFP Fam, I find myself chewing gum or eating peppermints to avoid snacking in between meals, but those calories add up! Does anyone one else log those items? Sharon

Stay at home mom trying not to over eat
Okay, so I've decided not to beat myself up for consuming 1500 calories today, when I'm supposed to stay at 1200. I was thinking of what I could delete from my dinner, in which I deleted the rice. All of a sudden I had the munchies as I've been reading, "Glass Menagerie" for school. I'm a stay at home mom and try not to…

Trying not to be an emotional eater
Hey MFP Friends, I was recently introduced to this site by my cousin, who is one of my biggest weight loss supporters. After a month of being laid off, I found out on Monday that my unemployment was denied.

Tracking calories/exercise help
Hey MFP Friends, I'm new to MFP. I'm starting the P90 series today. (Wish me luck) I do not have a fitness monitor, so does anyone have any suggestions on tracking my exercise? Plus, I don't want to go over my food calories that are allowed, which is 1240. Sharon 5'7 203 lbs
