I wish there was a better way to figure out how many calories you burn, some of the formulas ive seen do not take into account so many things different to each person.

The easiest way is use a heart rate monitor and monitor yourself for 24 hours. In 60 min treadmill you should burn 500 calories at speed 5, that's at least what I burn. You say it's hard to burn 3000 calories? It's not as hard as you think just giving you an example I burn 100 calories an hour just from my sleep, so if I slept in one day I burn 2400 calories alone. Just make sure you eat enough and monitor intake and you'll lose the weight.
