But last night I was watching some makeover show and the lady said to take what you want to weigh and multiply times ten to get your calorie count to lose 1.5 to 2 pounds a week. Didn't sound very scientific, but put me at 1500 calories a day, in the past that has been good for 2 lbs. a week. But, I haven't been banded yet!

Seems like alot but then I am about 205lbs so I suppose i would need a lot to stay like this.

I've...Oy, all this math is making my head hurt. I've twice had a BMR test done where you breathe into a tube and that somehow pops out a number. I had it at a WLS surgeon's office four years ago and then at a spa-type place a couple years ago. Both times my BMR was 2260 cal/day to maintain. I don't even want to think about what that means regarding how many calories I was taking in. I'd be interested to know what it is now that I've lost some. I'll check out the calculator, thanks for posting it!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242107654058014740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809492805425250996.post-66090160557353442012010-02-11T13:11:19.474-05:002010-02-11T13:11:19.474-05:00I just did mine and it said to maintain-1550 calor...I just did mine and it said to maintain-1550 calories. Then did your calculation above (ended up with 560). Not sure if I was to subtract 560 or if that was what I had to stay at to lose 2 pounds a week. I still think we need to stay 1000-1200 calories to be healthy and the weight will come off. That has usually been my limit when on other diets. Problem was I couldn't keep to 1200 a day and would binge. The band is now my tool to keep the bingeing under control.<br /><br />BTW, you have the prettiest smile and amazing eyes.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400904095865742386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809492805425250996.post-79068048041198233542010-02-11T12:44:17.531-05:002010-02-11T12:44:17.531-05:00You don't just use your bmr - even if you'...You don't just use your bmr - even if you're completely sedentary you multiply it by 1.2... I work out 3-5 times a week (at least) so I multiply mine by 1.55 which takes my calories burned to 2568 - I never hit that, and I don't know that I agree with BMR, but that is how it is supposed to be understood.Angie Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888723884815885764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809492805425250996.post-34501589941126571892010-02-11T12:22:35.060-05:002010-02-11T12:22:35.060-05:00I know right!I know right!Athena's Meltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987402718892820652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809492805425250996.post-58812917875483479432010-02-11T11:52:07.630-05:002010-02-11T11:52:07.630-05:00Weird, I just did mine out and it equaled 700 calo...Weird, I just did mine out and it equaled 700 calories...pretty sure thats not right!
