  • Hello Iayoung8505, >> I am a 220 lb 6 ft 1 in tall male. I think my ideal weight is around 200.. Being 6' 1', 220 lb, that puts you at BMI 29, overweight. At 200 lb, you'll still be at BMI 26, still overweight. To get below BMI 25, you'll need to be below 190 lbs. Note: Yes, BMI is a SCREENING test, not a diagnosis test.…
  • I recommend sticking with 1500 for 3 weeks. Adjust off average weight loss for those 3 weeks. Increase/decrease by 500 calories per pound. Lose 1 + 2 + 0? Average is 1 pound a week, don't change.

  • Hello flosoup38, 1) Stay the course! 2) The initial big weight loss rate is fun, but wouldn't be healthly at all to continue. 3) After the first 3 weeks of dieting and weighing about every other day, I decided to only weigh in one day a week. Due to the weight variables (current water %, meals eaten, uh - meals eaten but…
  • Man, y'all are killing me. For the last 2 weeks, I've been the most consistent I've ever been exercising, cycling 5 miles during my lunch break. I know you got to start somewhere, but sheesh, I don't see 30 miles+ happening anytime in the near future.
