Gnewfry's Journal, 08 June 2014

i went over my calories yesterday, but i was full. not too full. i read a bit on this site and someone there said the calories the app gives you are not right, that i should check calculator.net. fs was giving me 2600 calories. according to calculator.net, if i am sedentary and wish to lose a pound a week, i should have 1743 calories. so i reset fs to that. that seemed like hardly anything. i reset the calculations for active 1-3 times a week and i can have a little over 2000 calories. so i reset fs for 2000. then i looked at the bmi calculator. it said i was obese iii, which is as obese as you can get. no morbidly obese. this was a shock and got me quite worked up. my husband is obese ii. i'm a little sad that he weighs less than me.

my goals are moderation, moderation, moderation. i'm not giving up anything i can't sustain. and i'm trying not to go hungry so i don't panic. it's a delicate, fragile balance inside this head. i'm going to start journaling my weight loss here in hopes of getting some support. i'm going back to the pool, and i have to work really hard to get the motivation and energy to do that. then i have to take it easy so my fibromyalgia doesn't flare. moderation. i am trying to get to 190 so that i am merely overweight, according to the bmi. i have to get down to 255 to be obese class ii. that's what i'm shooting for first.

Those calculators are all guidelines. The only way to know of sure what you are burning is to wear a heart monitor or a "body bugg" (i think they are called). So play around with calories and see what works for you and helps you lose.

thanks. i will play around. to be honest, i can't see myself wearing a body bugg. my husband wears a fitbit everyday, but i can't see myself doing that either. i'm just going to try the 2000 calories and see where that takes me. for the first two days, i followed the 2600 calories, and i still lost weight because i must have been eating so much before. so it's all good.
