My new and better plan
According to FitDay I burn about 1600 kcal a day.
So far I've been eating about 1400 kcal a day. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I'm hoping it will work in a couple of weeks. I like food too much to restrict it to less than 1200 kcal a day. I hope to go from 115 pounds to 110 pounds in 3 months. I'm 4'11". That's my first mini goal...110 pounds. I'll check in here to let you know how I'm doing. Starting weight: 115 Current weight: 115 1st mini goal: 110 Goal weight: 100 jenny |

My new and better plan
I only weigh 115 because I'm really short.
I should probably aim for about 1200 calories a day... 10 times 115 isn't even 1200 cal yet. "The Queen of Cans and Jars" wrote in message .. .

My new and better plan
At the beginning of this week I was eating about 1400 calories because I was
used to eating a lot, but now I'm getting used to eating less. I'm going to try to aim for 1200 calories a day now. Today I ate 1030 calories and I feel quite satisfied. I think I can do this! I haven't had junk food in several days now and I don't crave it right now. I've given up on trying to lose 2 pounds/week. I'm aiming to lose 5 pounds in 63 days right now. jenny |

" Are you planning on doing any exercise, Jenny?
I exercise sometimes. I do it when I remember to. I have this exercise bike in front of the tv. I use it sometimes when I'm watching tv. These last couple of days I haven't exercised because I'm too busy with studying for final exams. I'm planning to exercise more after my exams....maybe go for walks everyday. Walking outside should be nice soon with the warmer weather coming around. :-) I have to walk because I'm too out of shape to run or jog. jenny |

Walking outside should be nice soon with the warmer weather coming around. :-) I have to walk because I'm too out of shape to run or jog. I work full time and go to school part time, so I know how hard it can be to find extra time in the middle of all that to exercise. You might consider a pair of dumbbells and a swiss ball - having the stuff right here at home to get in a quick weight lifting session makes it that much easier for me to make sure I do it, and that much harder to come up with excuses not to. Walking is good too, but I find that weight training is the best thing I can do for myself, especially if I only have fifteen minutes a day to devote to exercise. |
