Your math is perfect
I did it all from scratch and came out with all the same numbers.
PS I love math (dork i know) so anyone else not wanting to do the math just send me the numbers

Yay JEN!!!
Apparently you don't suck at math - I got the same numbers!
For me it came out to an average of 1321 calories a day in order to lose 32 pounds a week.
IMO it will go faster (and you will feel better) if you add exercise to it (and you can add some calories).

Can I REALLY lose 32 lbs a week chickie?
Okay, so how do I figure in the exercise to get extra calories? That part isn't clear to me.

sorry - 2 pounds - not 32....wouldn't that be handy?
Your AMR will change when you add exercise...because your exercise expenditure won't be 0.
Now, if I could just learn to type...

If you walk a half an hour a day, your exercise expenditure would be about 300. That would make your new AMR 2621.22 x 7 =18348.54 -7000 = 11348.54/7 = 1621.22 cals per day average. That's quite a difference for a half an hour walk.

Heck, I can do that! Sounds much more promising than only 1300 a day! Thanks Gina!

Hi Gina - I'm curious did you get that 300 cal for 30 min walk from the book. Because I am doing 45 min of the program in Jillians book and am only registering 340 cals on my HRM.
Again, I'm just curious not doubting your numbers

The table on page 57 is by weight. For 300 pounds - 1 hour of walking is 599 calories.

That's what I figured, but I didn't have the book handy to confirm
