Been getting a baseline for longer than I should have. Maintaining my weight requires a lot of calories! Found (via this website, actually) a good weight loss calculator which shows what you need to eat to get to a certain weight, taking into account your age, gender, and activity level: http://www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/at-niddk/labs-branches/LBM/integrative-physiology-section/body-weight-simulator/Pages/body-weight-simulator.aspx
Hoping to start swimming, and getting my caloric intake down to 2500 calories a day. I want to be at 280 by August 15th. That's 95 days, 50 pounds. Might not be easy!
