I have a goal to lose x number of pounds by a certain generalized date. I think it's a very do-able goal, actually, and I feel good about it. The theory is that if you multiply your weight by 11, you get the number of calories you need to consume every day in order to maintain your current weight. Subtract 500 from that, and you get the number of calories you need to consume every day in order to lose one pound a week. This goes fabulously well with my goal.
However, it must also be mentioned that if a woman wants to succeed with those numbers, she also needs to exercise about 90 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. Who has the time for that? Well, actually, I do, because I'm currently unemployed. And so far, I'm succeeding--mostly because I am learning to consider it success to be merely meeting expectations and not outstripping them.
But I just realized that the less you weigh, the less you're allowed to eat. Oh, snap.
