I'm getting married this year :)
A new year, time to start working on my goal weight, seriously.
I am currently using fitday.com to enter in all my calories/foods for the day. I like how simple fitday is but I don't think it tells you how many calories you SHOULD be eating for my body weight. So if anyone out there..ehem...Shannon...can find out for me how many calories I should be eating a day to get from my current weight of about 156 (height of 5'6") to 145 that would be great.
So each morning I'll make it a point to list out the total calories for the day from fitday, my foods, and activity on this blog, so you can follow along in my progress.
I forgot to weigh in this morning so I'll post my official starting weight tomorrow morning. It should be between 156 and 158.
Happy New Year, everybody!

I'm just a bride-to-be, trying to shed the last 11 or so pounds to find the perfect fit for the amazing wedding dress I've already purchased.

So funny, the first thing I thought of this morning was.. Melissa is getting married this year!! :-)
So, down to business!
With "light" exercise, which means 2 or 3 days a week. Your body needs 2145 calories to maintain a weight of 156.
My suggestion would be to drop your calories to about 1500 a day and work out as much as possible.
If you ate 1500 a day, you'd create enough deficit to lose 1 pound a week. If you added in a work out of burning about 250cal each day, you'd lose 1.5lbs a week. Of course that's all science, and our bodies never work the way they *should* but, you'd def be guaranteed to lose!
Thanks. I'll focus on trying to keep the 1500 calories a day and exercise! I'm just about to hop on the wii fit.
Also, before, I found spark people really complicated. What's your opinion? I thought fitday was the one where you could find brand name foods but i don't seem to be finding them this morning, so...hmm...
I use sparkpeople because I think it's the simplest, but also has a fair number of preprogammed foods.
thedailyplate.com has the most thorough food list, I think. I used to like Fitday, but i lost my password, and had since found Sparkpeople.. so I dunno!
I am sure you'll get the hang of one of them. Man, it's handy!
