The best advice I got (that kind of makes sense to me) is to try to "burn" and extra 1,000 cals per day - 500 through exercise and 500 through calorie reduction. So, if you need 2,000 to maintain weight, you would eat 1500 calories and burn 500 through exercise, netting 1,000 total consumed. This way you lose 2 lbs per…

While just sitting, I burn 1.1-1.2 cals/minute. It is nice that I can see that I have not actually been sitting all day at my desk, but have been walking around quite a bit.. So at first I did think that maybe I do actually burn that much.. BUT... Now, this past week I've had a calorie deficit of over 1000 per day and…

I did say BMR AND activity level. My BMR alone is only about 1400 and I have a desk job, so the total I get is about 1800 estimate, but the armband calculates 2600.. that is quite a difference.. :(

I am not sure why everyone thinks they need to do it every day.. I did not see such "istructions" on the DVD. I do it most days (started level 3 yesterday) and am getting great results even with a day rest here or there.

An inch off is pretty good too! You're only halfway there! Hang in there! I am on day 6 of Level 2 and can feel my pants falling off a bit.. Oh and PMS can make you gain as much as 5 pounds!!

I tried wearing my HRM (watch and chest strap) for 24 hours to see calories burned, but it showed 4,000 calories burned!!!! No way that is right - I would've been real skinny!! I did NO exercise that day. I know ordered one of those Body Media and am so excited to try it out. THAT I will wear all day and all night.

Here is an amazing website, really helped me figure it all out: http://www.shapefit.com/basal-metabolic-rate.html I say, if you want to eat your calories, then you should (if you feel hungry, means your body is asking for it), but if you don't, make sure your NET is never less than 1200 calories a day. HTH

Peanut butters does it for me, but have to go easy on it. Lots of calories and fat!

Maybe he can just have a few protein shakes to ADD to whatever healthy stuff you guys are eating already? I would hate to cook two different meals...

I'm from Moscow too, originally. Live in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) now

I completely understand! Good for you! My husband had a HUGE bowl of ice cream last night with some fruits and nuts in it and I only had half a spoon of it! I sure tried to make it last! ha ha

Feel free to add me! I love this site and am doing so well thanks to all the motivation!!

I would love to lose at least 30 pounds by the time I'm 30 in September! Current weight 162. Lets be friends :)

I'm 5'4 and would like to go down to 135 (162 current). Please add me! Everyone! :o)

I ate too much and did not exercise!

I'm 5'4, currently at 162, would love to go down to 135

Good job! I can't wait to see a 5 after the 1!! Been stuck at over 160 for a while...

I like your answer. Is there any science behind it? Where can I get more info? Thank you.

You guys are so cute! What a fun, loving couple! Good luck to both of you :)

Great story! Go dad! Giving up soda makes a HUGE difference, actually!
