Weight Loss Chart?

grnice
grnice Posts: 96
Several months ago I came across a post on these message boards that included a link to a website with a weight loss chart. It allowed you to enter your weight, your goal weight and when you wanted to achieve the goal and it would tell you how much you needed to lose every week. Maybe you put in how much you wanted to lose and it would tell you how long it would take to achieve. I don't exactly remember.

I've searched all these threads and google and I still can't find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I had it bookmarked on my laptop which unfortunately crashed and I lost everything. I could probably create something in excel but this website would be easier. If you have the link to the website please let me know.

Thanks!

    if you're targetting a lb per week, start weight - goal weight = # of weeks.

    if you're targetting 2 lbs per week, then (start weight - goal weight) / 2 = # of weeks

    but remember, it's rarely linear.

    bump to come back..I have it on my TOPICS..hold on, I'll be back HERE IS A COPY AND PASTE JOB...you can check to see if there are any links...this is what I downloaded to my computer...



    OK, if ITDEE Deficit goals I don't know my exercise calories and/or don't want to eat them back on just one day. I want to feed my workouts for body improvement. I want to keep my metabolism running as high as possible by net eating above BMR on weekly average. I want a safe deficit off my TDEE. I want a single Daily goal.

    *** You must go to the spreadsheet File - Make a copy, to change the values ***
    *** Or spreadsheet File - Download as Excel, to change the values ***

    *** Only change values in yellow cells *** Red is results based on current weight. Blue is results based on goal weight. Green is to setup in MFP.

    BMR - base calories body burns sleeping deep all day (Basal Metabolic Rate) RMR - calories body burns resting and awake (Resting MR)
    What are the different formulas I've seen for BMR? (weight, BF% or age, weight, height ) Cunningham formula - 1,500
    While this BF% may not be accurate, it does allow the calculations to use your known RMR correctly.
    What is my more accurate BMR estimate from Katch-McArdle formula? 1,352 My tested RMR - 1533
    What is MFP using based on the Mifflin-St Jeor formula? 1,337 1352.298602 Estimated BF% - 45.8
    What about the least accurate Harris-Benedict formula? 1,476 Estimated BMR - 1,384

    TDEE - Total Daily Energy Expenditure that would normally include exercise, usually daily avg based on weekly routine
    Three ways to get this figure; 1. Activity Calculator, 2. Known exercise calories, or 3. BodyMedia/FitBit device. Pick one method or compare. 3B is best.

    1A. Activity Level calculator (Katch or Mifflin BMR * multiplier) (based on studies from WHO in 1985, and Durnin, Passmore in 1967, and Bubb, Martin, Howley 1985)

    *** enter weekly totals *** Daily Calories
    Sedentary - most of day sitting, description at right (BMR x 1.25) 1,690 multiplier Sedentary avg weekly hrs:
    Hours of work standing on feet and/or moving somewhat (service trades) 0 0 1.5 These additions to base calories subtract the base BMR calories that would have been burned anyway, so no doubling up for this time. Sleeping - 56
    Hours of work physical with lifting or moving a lot (labor trades) 0 0 3.8 Work sitting - 40
    Minutes Light exercise (walking level up to 3mph or other equal cardio, yoga, yardwork) 0 0 3.8 Walking slow - 7
    Minutes Moderate exercise (walking level up to 4mph or equal cardio, strength training) 0 0 5.4 Sitting/standing - 65
    Minutes Heavy workouts (harder cardio than Moderate, intense gym/DVD classes) 0 0 8
    weekly exercise hrs 0.00 TDEE 1,690
    equivalent BMR to TDEE multiplier 1.25


    1B. Activity Level calculator (Katch or Mifflin BMR * multiplier) (based on study by Harris in 1919) 2. I already have my known exercise calories from a HRM,
    Multiplier TDEE what would be my better estimated average TDEE?
    Sedentary - little or no exercise, desk job 1.2 1,623 Daily non-exercise activity (MFP based description) Daily Calories
    Lightly Active - light exercise/sports 1-3 hrs or days a week 1.375 1,859 Sedentary - most of day sitting 1.25 1,690
    Moderately Active - moderate exercise/sports 3-5 hrs or days a week 1.55 2,096 Lightly Active - good part of day on feet 1.35 1,826
    Very Active - hard exercise/sports 6-7 hrs or days a week 1.725 2,333 Active - good part of day doing physical work 1.45 1,961
    Extremely Active - hard or 2x daily exercise/sports & physical job 1.9 2,569 Very Active - most of the day doing physical work 1.55 2,096
    avg exercise calories per hr included in this TDEE: 109
    Average exercise calories from HRM Sun 0 0
    3A. I have BodyMediaFit or FitBit or other with daily stats, what is my average TDEE value? in the first column Mon 0 0
    Take a typical week of activity, and enter each daily total in section to the right for exercise calories. Average workout time in minutes in Tue 0 0
    Do not include minutes. Remove the value for "Daily non-exercise calories to use", there is your TDEE. the second column Wed 0 0
    (this removes your daily cal's from the HRM cal's so not double counted) Thu 0 0
    3B. I use BMF or FB and HRM, but I trust the exercise HRM calories more, what is my better avg TDEE? Fri
    Enter daily stats for three different but typical non-exercise 24 hr days here. Sat 0 0
    Day 1 2450 This adjusts their Harris BMR used to calculate calories burned to the best Katch BMR if available. Total 0 0 hrs/wk
    Day 2 2435 Daily Average 0
    Day 3 2420
    Daily non-exercise calories to use at right: 2,232 Daily non-exercise calories to use from above: 0
    Enter this value and your average HRM exercise calories and minutes in section to the right, there is your TDEE. (or to left if BMF or FB) TDEE: 0
    equivalent BMR to TDEE multiplier 0.00

    Now that I have my BMR and TDEE, what are the different deficit methods I can use? Should re-calc every 5lbs lost, as daily goal may change, or may change method used.
    What TDEE value from above do you want to use? 1515 All Daily total gross goals do not go lower than current BMR, so may not get full deficit.
    6.5
    Deficit is 10% to 20% off TDEE, depending on amount to lose. lbs or kg calories calories
    Deficit amount: 20 Weekly weight loss: 0.61 Daily deficit: 303 Daily total gross goal: 1,352 this is appropriate if focus is cardio or little exercise.

    Deficit is 2% of weight to be lost to reach goal weight, which means more to lose is bigger deficit, less to lose is smaller deficit.
    Goal weight to lose (lbs or kg) : 66.0 2% weekly loss: 1.32 Daily deficit: 660 Daily total gross goal: 1,352 this is appropriate if very obese and lowest goal.

    Deficit is 0.7% of current weight, to potentially allow gaining LBM during deficit. study - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21558571
    Current weight (lbs or kg): 191 0.7% weekly loss: 1.34 Daily deficit: 669 Daily total gross goal: 1,352 this is correct if focus is lifting heavy 3 x week minimum.

    Deficit is based on eating at goal weight, the www.fat2fit.com method, using Mifflin BMR rather than their older Harris BMR. Katch is not used in calc's.
    Goal weight (lbs or kg): 125 weekly loss: 0.50 Daily deficit: 250 Daily total gross goal: 1,248
    Goal BMR (with safety factor): 1,114 Be aware this method is not based on Katch BMR, which is the same at goal weight, therefore no deficit if it was used.

    If your workout routine changes in a major way, then re-calc your TDEE. If you miss or add a planned workout, skip or add 200-250 calories that day.
    All these methods include exercise, therefore workouts can be logged as 1 calorie (and you do not eat them back) if you desire to log workouts and see the same daily goal.
    Some suggest still looking at daily eaten minus exercise calories, and never net below BMR, some suggest rest days will balance out those days on a weekly basis.
    If constantly netting under BMR by more than 100-200 when exercise is subtracted, you should use TDEE method with known HRM exercise calories.
    If changing goal higher to get out of a stall or slower weight loss, be aware it may have taken weeks to get to that point, may take weeks to get out of it. Stick to it!

    How do I change MFP stats to manually enter my own goal?
    Change MFP - Settings - Update diet/fitness profile Set Activity Level to Very Active and Weight Loss goal to Maintain (really doesn't matter though)
    Change MFP - Goals - Change Goals - Custom - Continue Set Net Calories Consumed to a green value above, change Calories Burned to 0 if not logging them
    Ignore the math on that page, since MFP is not aware that you have exercise already included.
    You may wish to improve your macros too, see the Macros tab and use your selected gross goal above.

    Nope. This one showed you what you would weigh every week for the next two years or so if you ate xx amount of calories a day. It's not a big deal, I'm sure one of these other calculators will work, I just liked that one.
