Hi everyone, i've come over here after some rude comments towards me were made on myfitnesspal, there's just no need for attitudes, I only want advice. I'm hoping to get some help here.
I've been on the cambridge diet for a while now and it's not really working for me anymore, I miss my exercise and i'm not losing the way I want to, I thought if I calorie count instead i'll be able to up my exercise and hopefully get back to losing 2lb a week, I understand losing 2lb is not as good as 1lb but I have an important even coming up in august and to reach my goal by then has got to be done.
I have calculated my calorie intake based on my weight and height and this is what I got:
you need 2009 Calories/day to maintain your weight
you need 1509 Calories/day to lose 1 lb per week
you need 1009 Calories/day to lose 2 lb per week
Does this seem about right to everyone?
Keep in mind I am only 5ft 3 inches, so my current weight of 125lb looks a bit more on me as opposed to a taller person. Now, im confused about when to exercise and when to eat. Lets say I go to the gym in the morning before I eat, I burn 500 calories there, and then I eat 1200, does this mean i'll have undone my hard work at the gym? And also is this how I create a 1000 cal a day deficit, or, do I have to eat first, and then work off 1000 calories? I'm new to all of this and im trying to get a better lifestyle, not attract negative comments
