Calories Burned per Week

I'm no expert...but I think I recall reading that 1 pound equals 3500 calories. Whether you do it by reducing your calorie intake or exercising more, my understanding is that you have to creat a 3500 calorie defecit to lose 1 pound. Experts out there, correct me if I'm wrong.
In my workouts, I don't aim for a certain number of calories - it would get too confusing to me, and I think it's also very hard to correctly estimate how many calories you burned. I just aim for a certain number of workouts per week, try to eat well and keep my fingers crossed that it works!
Maybe others will have more info for you!

week before 5950
weef before that 6177

today i burned 1164
that's my grand total for cathe workouts each weekday and my cycling!
i download the info from my HRM onto my computer and it's all on a nice little calendar!
i don't have a calorie goal for each day/week.. just depends on which workouts i do and how hard/fast i cycle!
yes... 3500 calories burned equals 1 pound of fat...

WOW, desertbriez, your calories are amazing!!!
I just got a HRM for Christmas and have been calculating calories burned just since then. I averaged anywhere from 1,800-3,500 a week so far. I exercise 5-6 days a week about 40-75 mins. each time.

the majority of my calories come from my cycling! if i only counted my cathe workouts then i would have the same average.. .depending on which of her workouts i chose! (i also eat the majority of the calories i burn which is why i don't seem to get rid of the last 1-2 pounds i want to lose! lol!)
