They are just jealous. From my experience they are only acting that way for 2 reasons: 1) they want to do it, but don't have the willpower or knowledge 2) they don't want to be alone in their unhealthy habits (misery lives company), and they naturally resort to mocking and ridicule to bring you back to the dark side with…

My suggestion is to just kinda guess to begin with, and once you are closer to that number you'll be able to more accurately decide if that number is where you want to be or if it needs to be adjusted :)
