re: Weight loss sucks balls

Quoting Kelly&Coralie:" 2100 cals is pretty normal To lose weight, people aim for 1200-1500 calories a day"

oh, sorry, I read 1200 xD sorry

Quoting ~Betta~:" oh, sorry, I read 1200 xD sorry"

I had a feeling about that  

Quoting Sandra&Ashlynn's momma:" I lost a smurf load of weight b4 but I did it "unhealthy way" ate 1meal a day and I went from 139 to 105 ... [snip!] ... and I didn't workout or anything just basically quit eating and I reallydon't wanna do that again so im trying it this way"

Just make sure you're getting all the micronutrients, don't just focus on the calories, and work out 5-7 times a week, not 3 times a day, you'll crash hard if you do that, eventually. It isn't recomended to exercise 7 times a week for a longer time than 1-3 months, so take it easy. Slow progress is better, because then you lose fat and build muscles. Fast weight loss is just losing muscle, not fat.

Your BMR is 1590.15.
To maintain weight exercising once a day your calorie need is 2743/day.

So with 2100 you have a 600 calorie deficit everyday. A 1lb of fat is roughly 3000 calories, so with 600 calories a day you'd have a 4200 calorie deficit a week, making you lose about 1.5lbs/week after the first week  

To me, that sounds great

So, instead of change what you are eating you are just cutting down the unhealthy food that you normally eat?

How much pop do you drink a day? Regular or diet?

Double post

<blockquote><b>Quoting speaktruth2powr:</b>" How much pop do you drink a day? Regular or diet?"</blockquote>




Alot, maybe 5or 6 cans a day(60oz-72oz)... But im also cutting down on that I had 2 cans and 1 bottle (42oz)yesterday...and I drink regular mt dew ..im gonna atleast drink a glass of water a day... Before u a say it I know if I stoped the pop I would probably drop more weight but my pop is my addiction...lol

Quoting Sandra&Ashlynn's momma:" Double post"

You are drinking at least 1000 calories a day. That is crazy.

If you were serious about weight loss, the pop would be the first thing to go.

I know it would help alot but its an addiction and im slowng down but ive also figured out that like "bored eating" I "bored drink" so if I keep busy I eat less and drink less

Or you can just stop buying Mt. Dew...

By cutting out Mt. Dew all together, you have the potential to be losing an additional 2.5 lbs per week.
