Fat azz to lean thread.

Google bmr calculator. There's a bunch of them. It tells you how many calories your body burns while at rest. For example, my body at rest burns 1650 calories a day, I work construction so I'm on my feet all day so I can eat 2200 calories a day to maintain my current weight. So I want to cut 1000 calories a day between eating less and exercising. After I'm at my goal weight, I go back to the calculator and find out what my new bmr is (because body has changed, so has bmr) and the I eat what it says without cutting anything and I'll be able to maintain my weight. I can then even eat a little extra to compensate for the calories I'm burning at the gym.

OK, thanks.

So if my BMR is 2390.52...?

I knew absolutely nothing about this stuff when I started but Google was my friend during this time and I've learned a lot. And I never took the advice of just 1 site.

Harris Benedict Formula

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows: If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2 If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375 If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55 If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725 If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

Total Calorie Needs Example
If you are sedentary, multiply your BMR (1745) by 1.2 = 2094. This is the total number of calories you need in order tomaintain your current weight.
Once you know the number of calories needed to maintain your weight, you can easily calculate the number of calories you need to eat in order to gain or lose weight:

TZ, sobering reminder we all need to keep better care of the machine that carts us around.
Good to hear your on the upswing, keep pluggin at it.

I can't be positive my wt gain is directly related to Warfarin or just my being anxious every time I feel a twinge in my leg which translated into my backing off on any real exercise. A day or two after the leg clot diagnosis, docs still aren't sure if the episodes I had were in fact 5 or 6 mini strokes or part of another issue.. One had me unable to move my arm, hand n fingers, second one saw my vision impacted.
Time to get back to living life larger.
Bring on more exercise n eating better.

At times it seems as if life is unfair, or that we're getting the short end of the stick. However, everything happens for a reason. We could be here discussing funeral costs.
Instead, we were given warning signs....Now it's up to us to see what we do with it.

This is me while waiting for surgery...thats my youngest waving. He missed school for a week just to be by my side. Hes also the one that got me the mustang magazine. You cant tell from the pic, but hes looking through kijiji for mustang parts...lol

We surely could.
Thanks for sharing.

And if you really want to shred lbs.

Get a bike. Bike riding will put your heart into fat burn zone.
And possibly beyond lol

Now you take that number and put it in one of the formulas that ZR posted that matches your lifestyle and that's your maintenance number. Create a deficit of 500 calories a day
And you'll lose 1 pound per week. Double for 2.
