I went on a few different websites to find out how many calories I should be eating every day,and this is roughly what I came up with. I should get about 1668 calories a day just to exist. However,adding in that I am lightly active,that would up my calories each day to 2300. Now,if I want to lose 1.5 pounds a week,I need to be calorie deficient by 750 calories a day. So,that would put me at 1550 calories a day. And,if 50 calories equals a point on WW,then I would get 31 points a day. I am just going to forget the extra points for nursing,since I'm trying to wean little fatchops anyway. Now,with WW,you get 35 extra points a week,which would be 5 a day (250 calories). And I went on LiveStrong,and it said I should be eating 1800 calories a day (250 calories more than 1550). Are you confused yet? Sorry about that. I'm just trying to figure out where to set my calories/points at. So,I need to eat 1800 a day,or 1550 and then have one big splurge for the week.
To say I am discouraged would be true,but more than that,I am optimistic. I know I am getting slimmer because my clothes are getting too big. So,something is happening,just not on the scale LOL!
My goal for September is to lose 7 pounds!! I know I can do this. I seriously want to end September at 185. I am going to stay on points,chug my water,and exercise at least 3 days a week,but trying for 4.
SW:201.4
Month 1: 192.4 (this is actually a .2 gain)
Onto September!!!!!
