What is
Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)?

EER is an estimation of how many Calories you need in a day based on your height, weight, and physical activity levels. I've used this in some of my Client Nutrition Studies, and I've found that not everyone needs to meet the equation's results exactly. Everyone's body utilizes energy differently, so if your body is very efficient at using energy, then you won't need to be that close to the result. <b>For example, one person's result was 2100 Calories per day, but if they were to eat that much, they would gain weight. They actually kept a steady weight around 1400 Calories.</b> So this equation may seem like it doesn't work very well, but it's a good starting point to see how your body reacts to energy.

That might be where I am at this point. I'd probably gain weight if I kept to the 1943 calories it calculated.

But recently, after doing exercise, I'd get some crazy hunger pangs so I've been eating more than usual. I think the body's really quite amazing in knowing what it needs and when.

thats great dude!
just leaving out ketsup, potatos, pastas, and breads surely helps alot! sure they are better than candy but a sugar is a sugar

18 pounds in 20 days.

I got on the scale this morning, saw the weight, and literally yelled "SHUT UP!" at the scale, like it was lying to me. I checked 5 times in a row, still 3 more pounds lost since yesterdays weigh in.

I don't know how that works, but I will accept it. :banana:

A little over 20 pounds down right now. (20.8 to be exact)

Not going at the same pace, but the numbers are still going down. YAY!

Keep up the hard work Sam. It will all pay off in the end...

I haven't been on here in a couple months, but when I logged in and found this thread, I went and read all your blog posts... I had planned on making weight loss my goal this year, but have yet to start my journey... (I'm thinking due to lack of inspiration myself) But I really like your blogging idea and I think I'm going to start one of my own...

My suggestion regarding weigh ins though would be to pick one day a week and a certain time of day for your weigh ins. That way you can track progress weekly and hopefully avoid some of those disappointed feelings that come with water weight fluctuation...

Anyway, just wanted to say congrats and that I will be following your blog and your progress as you go. And maybe once I get mine set up and start my journey, I'll be brave and put the link up here as well...

Thank you very much for your support and nice comments.

I have thought of weighing in only on a certain day, but to be honest, the having to report daily helps me to watch my weight constantly. I fear my mind would go "I have like 3 days before I have to weigh in, sure .. I'll have that cookie!"

Anyway, I hope that you can set and reach your goals. It is a daily struggle, but I am one this roller coaster already, and I can't leave now!
