Calorie Point Testing At Lifetime Fitness



Recommended Posts

Has anybody had this test done? Its also called resting metabolic rate. A test that measures how many calories your body burns in a day at rest. This gives you an idea of how much you should being eating and working out to lose weight and gain lean muscle.

I had this test done about 3 years ago and it did help me lose 45lbs-- But I of course stopped working out and following the eating plan and gained it all back nearly.

When I had the test 3 years ago I weighed about 255lbs, and the trainer said I should eat 2500 calories a day to lose weight (and work out 4 days a week) and I did, and it worked!

So I am soooooo excited and nervous to find out what my metabolism is now that I have lost 55lbs since my last test, (and went through a month of being starved basically.)

Any thoughts, questions, input, etc, feel free!!!!

I will follow up with the results!!!!!

It will be interesting to see what it says. There's no way we could eat that many calories now so I'm curious to see what they say. I'm joining a gym tomorrow and I hope working out for the first time in a while won't be too hard since I'm newly sleeved. I'll be curious to see what those results say. Keep us posted.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
