Thanks, I need it. I am not looking forward to having all eyes on me...
IJWTS that I need to lose about 20 lbs by September. Any ideas?
IJWTS well skipping meals, working out, working 14 hr days, and Slim-Fast seems to work for meWouldn't recommend it though haha.
You should look up how much your daily calorie intake should be and go from there. For me, to lose 1 lb a week I'm only supposed to eat 2000 calories max. That will cause a caloric deficit of 500 calories a day.
1 lb of fat = 3500 calories. 500 calories x 7 days a week = 3500.
So yeah, go from there. Here is a decent calculator.
IJWTS well to clarify, to maintain my current body weight, I'd have to do nothing and eat 2500 calories a day. If I want to lose 1lb a week, I'd need to go down to 2000 calories, 2500-2000 = 500 x 7 days in a week = 3500. 3500 = 1 lb of fat.Me too!!! Strange how we have the same goal in the same timeline... so I sense a race?
You mister, should not be skipping meals! Do not make me come over there and force feed! Slim-fast does not count as a meal!
You math confuses me... althogh all math confuses me.
I still get about 700 calories a day, 1200 tops and that is only on the days i dont work out.
IJWTS it's going pretty well. Just have a science-lab and math course this summer. Of course, since it's a short semester, the classes are 3-4 hours long so I don't get home until late but it's all good. I love to learn, I'm making friends, and I absolutely need to be kept busy so it's okay.IJWTS - how is school going? what classes do you have this semester?

IJWTS The whole summer! I've been going to school Spring, Summer, and Fall for the last 3 years. By winter break I'm exhausted and falling apart and then I get bored 2 weeks into winter break and want to go back at it again. It's not too bad if you don't have many friends or family to distract you and if you're single. I always think of it as setting me up for my future spouseHow long is the semester? Because keeping busy in teh summer does not sound like fun!
IJWTS: This week has drained me. I feel like i'm falling apart. I'm sick. I'm frustrated. I need prayer. The end.
