DUMBFOUNDED - Calorie calculations! HELP!!!!

Jul 02 2009 10:28

Has anyone here actually done the math about how many calories they need to burn everyday to lose 1kilo a week??? I worked out the basics but its crazy!!!!! At my current weight its estimated my metabolism burns 5013 calories a day with normal activity, To burn 1 kilogram I need to burn 7709 calories so 5013 - 7709 = 2696 calories i need to burn if i want to lose 1 kilo a week. Dividing this by 7 days i need to burn 386 calories daily that doesn't seem like much right? but i have not even factored in my 1500 calorie a day diet. It just seems like such a big deal to lose 1 kilo and almost seems not worth it. Am i right? with the calculations anyway if anyone has any idea or can somehow restore my confidence it the weightloss system that would be awesome!!!!

Facing up

Jan 28 2009 13:20

Well i've gone back to the gym! I am really happy about that. I looked up my weight and have put 8 kilo's on so i need to get that off and i know i can, i want to back where i was 3 months ago and then head to my next goal. I have realised what these past few months have done to my fitness i can do up to an hour on a strider and today could only last 30min because my chest is feeling heavy and i do classes and stuff bt they havnt been running so not helping but oh well its just het on the horse and knuckle down, when i return home though i will probably begin 2 worouts a day to make up for it a bit my workout and a extra class to get my fitness back at least.

I need a fair kicking

i was 168 kilos now probably about 150 ish we shall see....

Losing enthusiasm

well as the title suggests im losing my enthusiasm for my weight loss journey, so far i have lost about 22 kilograms which is about 48 pounds over the past 8 months, i just seem to look in the mirror when you walk past and it just seems to be taking for ever especially with all effort put in .... im just getting tired and down on myself AGAIN i guess bahhhh

hey,

well its been a while since my last post and well nothing much is happening for me at the moment, im sitting at the same weight as i have been for about 2 months or so now so im getting frustrated with exercising at the gym to no avail. i can say thought more muscle, the fat is loosening from certain areas and shifting down. gravity got to love it not.

in total though now ive lost 20 kg i put the wrong weight in im off by like 2 kg on my account settings lol
