What can I do to hit this goal. I need all your help. I know there are some experts on here. So I welcome your advice and help Thank you

make sure you're eating those exercise calories back . . .

Here's an old post of mine from similar topic:

OK. I'm gonna give this a shot. I am an avid lifelong athlete. I have never been overweight, however, I used to eat too few calories (without knowing it), and a couple years ago, I actually GAINED weight bc of having slowed my metabolism to the point that every little extra treat I ate caused a weight gain, even though overall my calories were too low. THIS DOES HAPPEN.

It is also the reason so many fat people stay fat. They restrict their calories so low, slow their metabolisms, binge (even a little), gain weight, restrict more . . . . and so on and so on. But they are still fat.

It is also the reason most people can't lose that last 10-20 lbs. For real.

1. MFP has a deficit built in. Let's say you're trying to lose 1 lb/ week. That is a 500/day deficit from your BMR (the amount of calories your body needs to complete basic functions.

2. You exercise and burn 500 calories. Now you are at a 1000 deficit. If you eat back those 500 exercise calories, you refuel your body and you still have a 500 deficit for that 1 lb loss. If you DON'T eat back those calories, you have too little fuel. This is bad. This is too much of a deficit for basic functions. If you do this for a long time, you will STOP LOSING WEIGHT. Why? bc your metabolism will slow down -- it's like a brownout--not quite enough electricity to make the whole city (your body) run, so it has to slow down some things. You will probably start being tired a lot, your skin and hair might start to look worse, and you might even gain weight. But you might NOT be hungry -- your body is getting used to fewer calories. That's bad.


That's when you start to gain weight. Let's say you're running along, eating 1200 calories a day, and exercising 400 calories a day, so net is 800. You're losing, you think this is great. You keep doing it, but after a while you stop losing. hmmmmm. One weekend you go out to a special event and have a slice of pizza and a beer. 1 slice of pizza and 1 beer. So you ate maybe 2000 calories that day and exercised off 400, so net 1600. BOOM! You gain 3 lbs! What?!

Next, you freak out and restrict yourself down to 1000 calories a day and work out extra hard, burning 500 calories. Great, netting 500 now. You don't lose any weight, but you sure feel tired. Better get some red bull.

Are you getting the picture?

EDIT: When you work out, you need fuel. Food is fuel. If you don't eat back those exercise calories, you will not only have a big calorie deficit, you will have an ENERGY deficit. Remember, the calorie deficit for weight loss is built in when you use MFP. Exercising basically earns you more calories because you must refuel.

(i know, i am quoting myself)lol
but all weightloss is, is just a math formula and sticking to the formula. you take how many days you want to lose your weight by (65days) (to be down by june 1st).
divide how much weight you plan on losing in tht time (32lbs)
so so far:

31lbs / 65days= .5lbs/day

and there are 3,500 cals in 1lb of fat.
OR 1,750 cals in .5lbs

so that means YOU only need to burn 1,750 cals. a day

a human burns between 1,800- 2,000 cals (depending on their weight,age and sex: [you can look yours up online]) a day JUST by having normal bodily functions(thinking,breathing, ect) for now, we will put u at the lower end (1,800 cals)
So just by doing NOTHING you already are burning off more then what you NEED to for your goal....BUT you have to eat right?!

So you can either:
A) Eat the 1,800 Cals your body Naturally burns and then exersize off 1,750 cals a day.

B)Eat less Cals (Lets say 1,300). then, let you body naturally burn off the extra 500 cals (from the 1,800). then exersice only 1,250 cals off per day.

c)or drop the cal intake even lower (1,000 cals/day) . let ur body burn off the extra 800 cals(from the 1,800). then exersize only 950 cals off/day

It is not always about the length of time exercising, but the intensity level. A good intense workout with cardio moves combined with strength/weight training where your heart rate is in the zone for 45 to 60 minutes can be very effective. Again the key is intensity level! My trainer has designed workouts for me that are very intense and burn alot of calories!
