re-calculating calorie goals...

clairelane1982

My starting weight was 234lbs and i would like to get to 154lbs ( to start with). This is a total of 80lbs. So far i have lost 26lbs, with 54lbs remaining.....
So with this in mind and the following should i now be thinking about changing my wight loss goals to 1.5lbs?????

75lbs or more: Choose to lose 2lbs/week
40-75 pounds: Choose to lose 1.5lbs/week
25-40 pounds: Choose to lose 1lb/week
15-20 pounds: Choose either 1/2lb or 1lb
Less than 15/20 pounds: choose 1/2 lb/week

I dont want to get to goal and then incress my calories (am currently on 1200) and then slowing pack all the wight back on....

Thanks for your advice.

You could, but you're already under a pretty severe deficit. 1,200 calories per day is /very/ low, especially if you're exercising. Further lower your caloric intake and you might actually hinder your progress.

I would: 1) Eat more and 2) Lift weights/exercise more

It wouldnt be lowering my calories, it would go up to 1300 roughly ( cant remember the exact number).

why not just set your goal to 1 lb a week which will up your calories? Take it one pound at a time, its not a race is it? Combine weight training with cardio.
