Okay, I'm 15 years old, about 5'5 and 165 ( really wish I could have surgery and start at a normal weight...)pounds.
Ive been doing some research on the internet on how to lose weight. My goal is to lose atleast 1 pound a week (although 3 pounds a week would be AMAZING!) and reach my goal of 145 pounds by mid August ( impossible?).
According to a calculator I used on the internet, I need to eat 2061 calories a day to maintain my weight, and 500 less a day to lose a pound every week ( please correct me if im wrong!).
My plan to lose weight is
- Go for half hour walks a day, im guessing this is about a 2 mile distance, which burns around 200 calories ( not as helpful as I would like...).
- Eat only around 1000 calories per day, 1500 at the most, 500 at the least ( I wish I could control myself enough to only eat 500....).
- Do atleast 50 jumping jacks per day ( Yet again, doesnt make much of a difference).
- Ive been chewing sugar free gum all day ( bought 160 pieces!). This helps with cravings and the sweetener used instead of sugar is kind of like a laxitive, chewing too many pieces will give you diarreah.
Now, I'd just like all of your input, advice and anything helpful you have to say. A question I have is, how many calories do I burn a day by just living and doing tiny things like typing, walking around the house and even sleeping?
