Fell off my diet and healthy eating habits through the holidays, of course, and now that Spring is here I am motivated to get back on track. I JUST found out, after reading an article in EatingWell, that to maintain your weight you use this formula to figure out how many calories you can have per day: Your weight in lbs x 12. For me, that's 1,296 (1300 cals per day)! And if you want to lose one pound per week, you subtract 500 from that number. If you want to lose two pounds per week, you subtract 1,000. OMG.

108.6 lb Lost so far: 4.4 lb.    Still to go: 5.6 lb.    Diet followed poorly.
