3500

Half way through and we are still looking good. Just wanted to remind everyone of some things Orlando said to us our first night. It takes burning 3500 calories to lose one pound. We have to burn 3500 in excess of what we eat to be able to lose that one pound. When broken down that is only 500 calories a day or 30-45 minutes of intense cardio activities a day. To get to 2 pounds a week it is easiest to cut 500 calories from your daily intake as well as burn 500 calories. The weight loss is simple math, the rest is a little harder. I have an article published with www.livestrong.com titled How much should I exercise to lose weight. Feel free to take a look at that for more specific information.
Keep up the good work.
