NEW TOOL FOR WEIGHT LOSS CALCULATION!!!

[kalidastar]

Hey All!

I found this on another forum and thought I would share it. It's a great motivator! You type in you weight, height, activity level, goal weight, and goal date and this program calculates the weight loss- if it's too aggressive, etc. Don't hold the New York Timew to it, like I said its just a motivator.

I hope that worked. Sorry if it didn't- just copy and paste.

Good Luck,

That's so cool, that's for sharing this.

I put in my data and my goal to get down to 140 by June 10, 2009 (one year from my surgery date) and it calculated that I would need to eat 1200 calories per day to do this...right on target!!!

Well it has me on the same as you Cathy. >

Hey guys,

FYI, I found this website that you make a virtual model of yourself (its not bad either) and I printed out my pic then typed in my goal weight and printed that out too... good motivation. I think I'm going to tape them to my fridge... I love the internet.

Thanks for the link, Kali

I changed the "goal date" from January 1, 2009 up to April 1, 2009 and it gave me everytime the 1200 calories and the average 1.5 lbs weight loss a week, as I changed it to December 31, 2008 it stated that my goal would be too agressive and that I should change it to a later date , mmmhhhhh I don't know ....

Mine said 1485 calories to reach my goal by Dec 1. Very doable (is that a word???) great post thank you!!
