Just a quick question- I've been eating regularly, just cutting out the things that I know I should avoid (fast food, doritos, ice cream... )- and I've been tracking my calories daily online. I've been eating between 1000-1400 calories/day, depending on the day-
But I've also been exercising (20 minutes 2x/day on the elliptical, 10 min on an ab-roller, and 10 min of exercising my arms w/3lb weights)-
So even though it seems I'm eating enough based on other things I've read here, when I figure out my "net calories" per day (how much I eat minus how much I burn exercising) it is somewhere between 400 and 700 calories per day-
Is that okay?
Since 1/1/09, I've lost about 5 lbs-
I'm 23 yrs old, 5'3", started at 177.5 on the 1st and now I'm fluctuating between 172
Just want to make sure I'm doing this the healthiest way possible. I have about 50 lbs I'm shooting to loose by summer, and it seems doable at the rate I'm going- I figure I have 18 weeks, and if I can lose 2 1/2 lbs per week (which I hear is healthy) I can lose about 45 lbs by the beginning of June-
Any input or advice would be great... Thanks!
