Current weight×10 = the caloric intake your body needs to maintain current weight

I weigh 139 pounds, so 1390 is the amount of calories I should eat to maintain weight?

Afraid not. 1390 is my basal metabolic rate. I maintain on about 1960 net (or 1960-2200 calories, depending on exercise).

Goal weight ×10 = the caloric intake you need to be at (should not be under 1100 for women and 1300 for men)

Subtract the 2 caloric intake values and that is how much you "burn" just from dieting!

Add your calories burned from exercise and divide by 3500 and that is your estimated pounds lost.
(This is just rough estimate calculations... often times weight lost is more than estimated value.)

I'm lost here.

I burned 100 calories with 30 minutes of "Crying - Profusely (Butthurt 93-95%)." That means I lost 0.02857142857 pounds!

I have seen people be pretty mean on these forums, this wasn't even remotely in the ball park.

Srsly, how does anyone that thin-skinned make it through life. And yes, I probably am being mean now, but ffs!!
