Weight Loss questions! Sep 04 2009

Original Post by gi-jane:

For the OP... because you're 20, try using this calculator to determine your energy needs.  http://www.bcm.edu/cnrc/bodycomp/bmiz2.html I'd also say you were moderately active (about an hour a day)...  which comes back to a total burn of about 2500 per day.  So on 1650-1800 you should theoretically be losing weight.  1lb a week would not be a bad result for you because, of course, you're not actually overweight.

However, if you've been on reduced calories all summer what can happen is that your body becomes more efficient at the way it uses energy.   So everything slows down a little and weight-loss peters out.  

What can be really effective is to give your body an injection of energy and get your total calorie needs for a day.  The full 2500 in your case.   This can liven things up no end, give you an appetite and also gets your body using up energy at the right speed again.

Once done with 2500 then go back to weight-loss on 1800 average.... Every two or three weeks repeat the exercise.  i.e. One day at 2500 and back to a steady 1800 afterwards.

Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely going to try this.  I've been on a plateau of 154.5 for a couple weeks now even with the exercise and supposed correct amount of calories.  It's sort of intimidating to eat 2500 calories... I mean its just a lot more than I'm used to eating!  but I'll try it and maybe it will help me re-kick start this weight loss.  So basically one day ever 2-3 weeks eat 2500 cals and in the between time stick to the 1800? Sounds like a plan.

So, i've been frustrated with my results in past challenges because i haven't been losing the lbs. i would like to see gone, however, i think i've been losing inches because i definitely went down a pants size when i went shopping at my favorite store yesterday :)  ... usually i have to buy 10s there, but i ended up buying 8s this time!  exciting...!  anyway, I would really like to see 150 on the scale by the end of this month... gonna try hard to make that happen!
