Calorie Count Diet


17 years ago 0 125 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi windy, According to my web site to maintain my weight I should consume 2240 calories per day to maintain my weight of 193 lbs. Anything less than that is a deficit. The deficit includes calories burnt through exercise and the calories not consumed less than 2240. I have been trying to make my deficit a 50/50 split in order to lose weight in a healthy way. When logging my calories I include all I eat and log my activity separately. I am a slow loser and will be in it for the long haul. I do however have a goal date. My sweetie asked me to marry him this December so we're thinking around September no official date has been set yet. I am wanting to meet his family. I'm hoping we can do that this Spring. I hope to weigh around 165, a healthy weight for me. I would perfer to be 150, but that may be out of the question because I have been losing so slowly. My really really big goal is get down to 150 and go shopping for a wedding dress. I do not want to be a fat bride. I can say this for myself I may be 32 but since I quit smoking my skin looks like I am in my mid 20's. I am loving it. I've never been carded so much... Anyway that's my two cents and a bunch of other jabber. Love you all and to our successes!!! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 91 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,755 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $591.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33
