Weight Loss Challenge

[Pyrate81]

Last week's weight: 285
Weigh in: 283
Lost: -2

I want to reach at least 280 next week.





NH93:

I have not read through this whole thread...

The more you have to lose, the easier it is (in theory) to lose that weight, because it takes more effort on your body's part....

Best of luck!

The jist of the thread is a chronicling of me trying to lose weight AGAIN and not being successful. At one point I was 316lbs and had dropped down to 200lbs in less than 2 years. The first time I lost the weight, I did what you did and had a written journal of my daily caloric intake. It really does make you see how much you do eat compared to what you should be eating.

It is true: the more you have to lose, the easier it is. Once I get into a groove(and the weather cooperates for more than 1-2 days), I'll drop weight like it's my job.

TY for the well wishes.







Unsolicited weight loss lesson of the day for anyone who is interested:


Base Metabolic Rate is the rate at which your body burns calories throughout the day if you were to lay in bed and do nothing.

These are my stats

Height: 5” 10’
Weight: 285
Age: 32
BMR: 2500

Which means if I eat a 2000 calorie diet per day, I can lose weight without exercise. If my weight was 235, then my BMR would be 2200. I could still lose weight without exercise but it won’t be as effective/efficient.
