    Apologies on my math everyone... I'm human!

    The equation that has worked for me is:

    Your weight (In my case is 160) minus 10 (in my case 150) then add a zero at the end (in my case 1500).

    To continue losing: for every 10 lbs I lose, I subtract an additional 100 calories from my daily intake. Ex. When I weigh 150 lbs, I'll start to eat 1400 calories a day.

    NO MORE MISTAKES! EVERRRRR!

    Actually, that is pretty close to how I got started. The only difference is that I took the weight I WANTED to be, added a zero and ate that. When I was 305 lbs, I thought I wanted to weigh 200 lbs, so I ate 2000 calories. Worked for me for the first 40-50 lbs or so...

    Thanks for the humor GauchoMark! People can be ruthless with this being a "faceless," online community. Congrats on your weight loss!
