*Hopefully this will be the last week that I need to give curve points.  Don't forget to participate in the challenges to bring your team's score up!*

Wow!  I can not believe it is already Week 5!  Everyone is doing such a great job!  Keep up the great work!

Wow I can't believe we've come this far too! I'm a little sad because all I have lost is less than 2 pounds. Atleast my measurements have gone down though :)

Inches lost is always a great thing.  :) 

Maybe you are building muscles from all your workouts.  How many inches have you lost so far?

This *BONUS ROUND* will take place over the entire week. 

As we all know, 3500 calories = 1 pound.

For every 500 calories you burn, you earn your team 1 point.  Each person that burns 3500 calories throughout the entire week earns 10 points for their team.

This is a great opportunity to earn extra bonus points for your team and get some great workouts in.  (You can post your calories burned each day and I will take tally up the total calories burned when I do the results.)

I don't mean to diss the bonus round this week, but doesn't the 3500 cals burned = 1 pound loss apply to your total caloric deficit, not necessarily the amount of actual calories you burn a week?  If I burn 500 cals a day and consume 2500, then I really am not gonna see the weight go away when I should be eating between 1200-1400 net cals, not 2000...

This is what I found (there are more articles, I just didn't feel like posting them all):

How Many Calories Make 1 Pound of Weight?  "About 3,500 calories adds up to about 1 pound. This applies whether they are food calories coming in, or calories (burned by exercise) going out."

Calories in a Pound of Fat  "we need to burn 3500 extra calories per pound of fat so we must actively move to increase the total calories burned."

Women's Health "Yes to lose just one pound of fat you will have to burn up 3500 calories.  You don't have to burn up all 3500 calories at one time. You can do it bit by bit. You can also avoid calories in order to avoid gaining weight. The fewer calories you add to your daily diet, the fewer you will have to try to burn off every day."


So in essence, you could 1) eat less and create a 500 calorie deficit to equal up to 3500 calories after 7 days or 2) burn 500 calories a day to equal 3500 calories after 7 days.

Ok, I understand.  But, then do the people who eat less (within reason) to create a 500 cal deficit per day count in this challenge?  Does that question even make sense (lol)?

Thanks for your response!  =)

Great challenges by the way... they are TOTALLY keeping me on track!
