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!!! :)
