    It takes 3500 calories BURNED to lose 1lb. for example:
    if you ate 2800 cal a day x7days = 19600 calories consumed a week
    if you burned 3200 cal a day x 7days = 22,400 calories burned a week
    22,400 -19600=2,800 net burned for the week it's not quite a lb lost but it's .8 lost


    How do you know what you burn a day? look up BMR and enter your body data. I know all the pills and stuff the world promotes sound great, none of them work, they only increase the amounts of calories burned a day by small amounts and supress your appetite, but if you don't know your basic calorie intake or your basic burn a day, nothing can help you manage the outcome. I explain this to say that I have lost 45lbs in 6 months and I work out roughly twice a week, but walk 3 miles 3 days a week in the summer............hope this helps.................

    Another shorty here at 5'1. I've lost 23lbs so far and would like like to at least 20-30 more. I'm another one who has lost it before and gained it back but I'm hoping three times a charm. Feel free to add me.

    5'2" here and looking to lose 40 lbs...I guess. I'm not really sure what my goal is. I am more so concerned with the way I look opposed to the number on the scale(although I am obsessed with standing on it). If any body could be so kind to point me in the direction of someone who is 5'2" 145 lbs, it would be greatly appreciated. I just want to see how it may look on me (I know body types differ so it may not be accurate).

    BTW...I tried to add everyone on here, if I missed you add me :D

    In my profile pics I have a "Before" and during comparison. I started at 153 and my before picture was 143. How you look at 145 will be different based on body composition. I was not lean at 143 so it looks squishy on me :wink: but with some hard work at the gym and eating better, I'm looking better now even at just a 15 lb difference. You can look lean at 140-145 at 5'2" if you work towards that as a goal!

    I am 5'1 and looking to loose 26lbs.. I lost 35lbs and still had the hard to loose last 10lbs left but, over the last year I have put around 16lbs back on. So here I am again needing to loose weight. This is the first time I have counted calories so far it is going good. I am always looking for support, food and snack ideas, ways to make going to the gym easier:laugh: anyone is free to add me as a friend.
