Biggest Loser Finale

Just finished watching the Biggest Loser Finale.  It was both inspiring (hundreds of pounds lost) and painful (knowing that half of them would have the weight back on in a year).

Watching all of those big numbers was excruciating!  I just kept thinking of how much you would need to do to accomplish this.  The girl who won the at home was losing about 7 pounds per week.  Let's do the math -

To lose 7 pounds, you need to burn 24,500 calories a week!  (3500 *7)
If I burn 350 calories in a 5k run, I would need to run 70km a week!

Obviously, I don't need to lose 7 pounds a week, but geesh.... you see the big numbers and just want that so bad!
