My Goals I

This post is numbered because I realize that my goals will change over time and I will post regarding new goals or reevaluation of goals as things come up.

At my last weighing (2010.03.05 Fri) I was 190.4

lbs. As of now, my weight goal is 160 lbs. That may be overreaching somewhat but I have given myself a tentative deadline of (2010.07.09 Fri). We'll see how things go and adjust accordingly. I began using a website called FitDay.com to help me keep track of things like caloric intake, exercise, weight loss, etc. It also helps with prospective time lines as well. FitDay has been very helpful regarding general caloric goals. With my current weight, projected finishing date, and the calories I burn daily due to my general lifestyle, FitDay has given me this:

Weight Loss per Day	/	Calories per Pound	=	Calorie Restriction per Day
0.28		3500		969

Calories You Burn	-	Calorie Restriction	=	Calorie You Can Eat
3,102		969		2,133

So, in order to lose the weight I desire I must restrict my daily intake to 2133 calories.
