Tipped to Lose Weight

Apr 24, 2007 21:21

Day 12
Weight 219
Thought: I think my scales are broken

I think my bathroom scales must be broken since my weight seems to keep going down. We had a nice walk around the neighborhood yesterday but alas I got home too late today due to work. The cats love it outside and keep going in and out and in and out so not only are we automatic treat treat ( Read more... )

Dear Son,

Perky is the last word that comes to mind when describing your ass (see yesterdays comments). It has not been perky for at least 33 years.

Please do NOT eat oatmeal, beans and brussel sprouts before visiting us!

Of course your scales are broken - that is why you are on the diet. Remember those talking scales you got on and they said "one at a time please"!

You did not answer my question - what is your target weight after 40 days???

Dear Dad,

I can't believe you called me just to ask me my target weight when I had already told you. Guess it isn't just the hearing that is going.

Target weight: 205 lbs for the 40 days and then I will see how that goes. Down to 195 lbs. Hopefully before our trip out to you in June... which brings back memories of having to pull over on the freeway just to get you weighed.

But I digress

Hi Digress,

I wrote the blog BEFORE I called you. How is your memory these days? Clogged with soy milk!

At least when we come back from England this time, with you not drinking, I will not have to pay duty on you to get through customs.

Your ever loving Dad.

Jon, if you're catching up on your reading....believe it or not, the diet is actually minimizing the gas!

Ok Mr. Geeky, get your calculator out.

6 factors to determine daily caloric needs:

Basal metabolic Rate (BMR)

Activity level

Weight

Lean Body Mass

Age

Gender

To summarize: your BMR is how many calories you burn just lying there. Several factors affect it. The Katch-McArdle equation to estimate it (for men and women) is:

BMR = 370 + (21.6 * lean body mass in kg)

Lean body mass = weight * (1 - body fat percentage)
(You have gotten your body fat measured recently, haven't you?)

Multiply BMR by an activity level factor to account for additional calories burned, and you now have an approximate number of calories you burn in a day.

Activity factor ( ... )
