In case someone hasn't seen it tand would like . Here is a calorie formula

( Weight x 4.5 ) + ( Height x 15.88 ) - ( Age x 5 ) - 161 =Total A

Total A x % below = Total B

Sedentary 20%
Lightly Active 30%
Moderately Active 40%
Very Active 50%

Total A + Total B = Total Daily Calories

Subtract 500 Calories to drop 1lb a week.

This really does work. It equals out almost exactly the amount of calories I take in and I lose about 1lb a week. I was surprised when I plugged my numbers in and found out it really does work.

No wonder I can't lose more than about 1lb a week. Heck I would have to go under 700 calories a day to lose 2lbs a week and that is never going to happen lol.

Hi Ladies

Didn't post this morning as i wasn't feeling well and slept in again. That made the afternoon go by so fast as I had grocery and other things to do.

Zenor=I really don't want to lose too fast but since I'm on the calorie counting [for 2 weeks]I lost a 1- lb per week. So far its 2 lb. Before counting calories I was on a low carb diet and I found that adding more grain carbs to my diet my weight is going down where I use to stalls weeks on end. I know that losing 1-2 lbs a week it the healthiest way of dieting. I will stay on the 1200-1500- range,thats for sure.

dek-I used the calculator for the biggest Loser formula and to me thats to low.If I followed them I would be eating 1141.Don't really want to go lower than 1200.


Shy Moment-Just used my calculator and the totals don't match. MY total A and total B comes out to 87622.22 What kind of # is that.


Tinky-Thanks, I need all the luck I can get.Hope this calorie counting will work like it has,I don't see why not. I just have to have a game plan like you.PORTION CONTROL is another tool I going to use into the holidays.


Have to start making supper,have a great evening
