Thanks - I realize it will be hard to be accurate on my figuring of calories burned. I would at least like to have an estimation. Currently -- I am 5'3", 225, 64 years old. I am trying to get in better physical shape. Today I attended a Water Workout and I swam 8 laps. I am a beginner in regard to exercise. I am filing in…

Thanks to all who have responded! Appreciate the input!!!

Thank you. I wonder how many laps you have to do to get a mile?

I also asked a question about Kick Boards and Flippers in Exercise. Maybe y'all might have advice for that.

Hey, thanks, I will work on that!

Thanks so much!!! Now I know what to do!!

OK, then. That makes me feel better. I had been seeing posts about eating at a deficit, but now I won't worry about that. You have been very helpful!

Thank you. I guess eating less calories than are allotted is better.

Help me understand. I am given 1340 calories a day. I earn 200 calories from exercise --- thus having 1540 calories a day allotted to use. Will this calculation allow me to lose weight?

OK-- I have opened up my food diary now. I'm probably over eating.

Good idea.

Thank you, I will check that web site. Also I will try opening up the food diary again!

Thank you for the encouragement. I guess it has only been a couple of months----February seems so long ago! I appreciate your help!

I'm 5'3, weigh 214. I had always been 5'5 1/2" until 5 years ago --- I drastically shrank!

I just unlocked my food diary. I am just learning to use this site.

What are you eating to lose weight? Any advice with meals and snacks?

I'm approximately your height/weight. I am trying to make a grocery list and figure out what I'm going to eat ---- to not get starved and be able to become a success! I would appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks a bunch!!!
