Posts: 32 (05/29/2009 4:56 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	So I'm getting into this once and for all, I'm gonna loose the extra weight and I came up with a plan. I just wanted to ask those who have knowledge on this if it would work or if its all wrong. So my plan is this to limit my calorie intake to 1500 and burn 800-600 a day expect saturdays and sunday's where i would rest. (basic gym trips with weights and tread walk/running intervals and swimming when i can.) I'm trying to loose 100 to 160 lbs right now i'm 300ish, i want to be between 140 at my lightest and 200 at my heaviest. I'm making 200 my first goal and than going on from there. ( This is in a length of a year at least if not longer, i'm not gonna try to loose it super fast, 2lbs a week and 8-10 a month is the rate.) My question for this is I'm basing this of of BMR which right now mine is 2200 so what i take from that is if i intake 2200 and my body burns that a day than i should say at my current weight, if i lessen it like I am too 1500 i should loose weight, than plus more if i work out like i am. So if my intake blances out at 1500 i should be at 140-145 based on my height and age, with some wiggle room depending on my excerise than as well. To those who know about this, or have had success does this sound right or am I totally taking what BMR is the wrong way and this wont work? Please let me know and any advice is appericated. Thanks.

It means your metabolism is working faster. Cutting back to 1500 calories to start along with burning off 500+ calories a day is way too little. You'll be starving yourself. And I think it might be too drastic and you'll be so hungry that you could just give up. ( Not that I know you personally, but you get what I'm saying) One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. If you can limit your intake and combine exercise to burn 3500-7000 calories a week, you'll have a 1-2 lb weight loss! Try this calorie intake calculator for a better idea of what you should be taking in. http://www.freedieting.co...s/calorie_calculator.htm And good luck with your weight loss journey!!

(and, no, I'm not some skinny bitch. It's just too much work for me. lol) All I know is after watching Cook Yourself Thin... they tell you that if you want to weigh 150lbs, your caloric intake should be 1500. But I think that's if you just want to shed some pounds. I would follow KrisPChken's advice first, since you have a bit more weight to lose. Good luck to ya!

Se thats the thing, weight watchers will not work for me, to be constantly picked on or weighed in and told how to live my life by someone else would drive me up a wall. Plus I'm a type that in a way does a lot of late night binging I havent in a good week now since i've been starting this plan up and just being aware. The Bob thing wouldnt work either because I've known to eat my BMR plus (sometimes a lb of food or more a day) and do exericse and all it does is either i gain 5 lbs or stay the same. I have done this before, but i was buring 600-200 four times a week (gym-200 and cardio (treadmill) 600, both twice a week). I lost twenty lbs from that and was at my lowest 290 in December ( i started it in August of last year) and than through not sticking with my plan i gained a good ten lbs back. I do eat 3 times day every four hours to keep my metabolism up besides too, in case anyone is wondering. and to gaia, i'm 21 . thanks for all the advice and questions guys.

I'm just gonna say this because its what happened i ate at a 2000 calorie a day and did my minimal two gyms and to treadmill days for like two weeks and all my weight did was stay the same. With the way i did it before i lost weight. Not trying to say your wrong, just saying that didnt work for me and the 1500 did. But thank you for the advice i understand it and appericated.
