1650 is not low...lord, I need to stop reading these message boards, the misinformation here just never ends...you need to run a deficit of 1000 calories PER DAY to lose 2 lbs in a week...I am a 252 lb guy and my BMR is 2500 calories a day..if I was 200lbs it would be 2050 calories a day...everyone seems to be under some…

Post looks AWFULLY familiar...as in, I've seen this exact post before...as in, troll.

There are number of things: 1 - Your metabolism naturally slows as you age...so it depends on who you are comparing yourself to...for example a 55 year old woman who is 5'5' and weighs 170 lbs burns 1584 calories a day existing (i.e. doing nothing)...a 20 year old woman (same height/weight) burns 1764...so weight loss gets…

Small tip...my trainer constantly yells at me for eating more calories at the end of the day than the beginning...her logic is super simple (and backed up by the literature), what do you need 600 calories (in your case) for dinner for? Breakfast really should be your biggest meal of the day... Course I fail regularly at…

The honest answer is that losing weight is a math exercise. If say 1500 would maintain your weight...and you eat 1400 for six days and 3000 on day 7, you'll gain weight (i.e. you are 900 calories over on the week)...if you eat 1200 a day for six days and have 2500 calories, you'll lose weight (down 800 calories/week). If…

You aren't going to like this...but the reality is you have to change how you see food...a chocolate bar isn't a treat, it's processed junk that is going to kill you...If you do an hour of serious exercise in order to build up 500 calories to eat a couple chocolate bars, it's almost impossible to succeed at this...you have…

My experience (when I originally lost 80lbs before being an idiot and gained it all back over five years) is that the last 15 are the hardest and slowest to lose...if 1440 represents the amount you burn normally (i..e you'd never gain or lose a pound) then you'd need to go under 1000 to lose 1lb a week...1lb is 3500…

Weigh in on Monday as usual. It's tempting to try to avoid a "bad" weigh-in but it's part of the process and maybe the spectre of a weigh in will help you avoid going completely nuts on the weekend (I don't think you should have a carrot as your cake on your birthday but neither are birthdays or the Superbowl reasons to…
