I never posted my originals for this fall goal I have set.
I weigh 229. My measurements are probably the same as they were.
Waist 40 inches
Hips 50 inches
Bust 45 inches
I have been counting calories and finally decided how many I should be eating to lose weight. I compared a few websites and a few different methods of doing this. As far as I can tell I have to eat around 2150 to 2240 calories a day to maintain the weight I am at. I didn't think I was eating this many calories every day, I am sure I was at family functions and when we eat out though. At my goal weight I will be eating around 1850-1950 calories per day. I have been counting calories and shooting for 1900 a day to start with. I haven't been feeling deprived. I read a convincing argument that you should be eating around 20% fewer calories then your maintenance requirement to lose weight. For me this would be around 1720. I think I will go ahead and cut back to this amount. I do want to see some results right away. It is also not too few calories, it is not an unhealthy amount. If I start working out regularly and that doesn't feel like enough calories I will add a few more back in.
It's 4pm and I have 700 calories left for today. I can do that.
