Well ladies, I just got another fill this morning. Brings me up to 2.4 and I'm on liquids for a few days. HELLO MARGARITAS!!!! ahahahhahahah!

ANyway, I weighed in at my dr's office and i won't bore you all with the details but i was very, very disappointed. I've basically lost NOTHING since I was there 5 weeks ago -- not even a pound??!!??!:eek: But my clothese feel so much better and everyone says they see a difference so who knows........ She told me though that i need to stay at 1200 cals a day, and that includes weekends! I told her that on the weekends I tend to go up to 1500/1600 and she's like "Well, that's the problem:rolleyes: ! And I was like, "well then fill me up damnit so i'm not hungry all the time!"

hahahah!

Please send me some good vibes though!!????? Dyin' over here! I think my biggest problem is "grazing" at night while I watch tv.. look how many more calories i consume at night!! It's such a tough habit to break though!

Xann, I liked your calorie calculation defecit idea, so here's my attempt:

Exercise: 20 min HIIT on arc trainer = abt 300 calories

BMR: 1900 + 300 + 600 (daily activity) - 958 = 1,842 calorie defecit

[Xann77 0]

Puddinpie -- what is the "daily activity"? I just subtract 1800 (my RMR) and then my exercise calories... by the way, I LOVE the Arc trainer!!! I do that all the time at the gym!!!

Does everyone count things like milk in their coffee? salad dressings, little bites of stuff....?? I feel like I very rarely just eat 3 meals a day and i'm wondering if anyone else deals with this?

[puddin 7]

Xann, your BMR is just your basal metabolic rate, basically just surviving. You burn 30% - 60% more just doing basic daily activities. In the case above I just added 30% because I've been sort of sick and lazy today.

Now, RMR is different from BMR. RMR calculation is slightly higher than BMR. But however you calculate it, I think the calculation is flawed. I certainly don't lose 1/2 pound every day, even though all the math says I should. But then again I haven't had my REAL BMR calculated for a few months, but even a few months ago I was only burning 70% of what other people burn at my age, weight, height, sex... So I took a number off the Internet and multiplied it by .7

ANYHOW... I love the arc trainer, too! I always do my high intensity interval training (HIIT) on the arc trainer because it's so easy on my joints, but I can still work out hard.
