Question:
I am so confused~

I have been reading posts about using the Weight Loss Planner on this site. I went and checked it out. But I am confused now. It says that I must eleminate 1223 calories from my daily diet. This is after I take off my daily exercise for 30 minutes a day at a moderate level. If I am only eating 1000 calories a day, how am I suppose to do this? Am I reading it right? What number am I suppose to be subtracting the 1223 calories from? This is the exact information that I am looking for I just don't know how to read the chart so I know what to do. Thanks for ANY help!!!! Candi BTW~ Start~ 325 Current~ 292 Goal~ 171 (doctors goal) Time Frame~ 10-12 months    — Candi B. (posted on September 2, 2002)

Subtract the 1223 calories from the amount you were eating pre-op. The whole picture looks a little brighter, no?

if your exercising for 30 min per day and eating only 1000 cals you prob dont even need to worry about it... but, my husband helped me and he says..mine came up 625 that means i have to eliminate 625 cals per day to lose lb per week OR EXERCISE MORE to increase the weight loss. It gts wierd doesnt it...at first it was so easy!!! LOL
