Hi again it's Rick the math realist. If you want to lose a total of 8 lbs that means you must run a deficit in calories of 28.000 calories and if you eat 800 calories a day for the next 56 days you will lose 8 lbs because your BMR is 1300 and 800 calories would be a 500 calorie deficit every day and it would take 56 days to lose 28,000 calories. Please commment on this analysis. Rick
I think there are a few ingredients forgotten to the ultimate sum. 1 x exercise and biology (water retention), and also BMR is my lowest amount of calories my body needs to survive if I sat on my behind the whole day. Also the main aim presently is just to get back down to 126. Give my body another 3 or 4 days and I will look like I have miraculously lost heaps of weight out of the blue. I know that to be a fact of living in this body for 34 years. :-) so I have an unfair advantage. Thats why I like journaling how I am thinking and feeling what time of the month it is.
As you get older it becomes harder to lose weight. You are on the way to 40, not that you're old but you're not 20 any longer either. Monthly water retention is a temporary thing, is it worth stressing about?
Do you think it's important to base your weight on a number or do you think it's better be a weight you are comfortable with, look good, and can easily maintain all the time?
I've looked at your before and after photos. You look great...be happy with yourself.
lol, Thanks for the teenage compliment. I'm like 34 years old, no where near 40 years old yet. Between March and July last year I lost 50 pounds and between July and March this year I lost the last 10 pounds. - So thanks for the advice, but its not that difficult to lose weight at this age. - thanks for making feel like sooooo old
