Now, with illness and seniority, they are chunking up (partly due to meds, partly to less activity). But they were able to be lean and eat 2000 + calories.<br /><br />I can't. <br /><br />There is a difference.Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-14042613296646507542011-11-08T15:20:47.200-05:002011-11-08T15:20:47.200-05:00Beth, the most recent one in the news about this i...Beth, the most recent one in the news about this is this one:<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/27/health/biological-changes-thwart-weight-loss-efforts-study-finds.html?_r=3&partner=rss&emc=rssPrincess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-61051104381838560422011-11-08T09:17:08.776-05:002011-11-08T09:17:08.776-05:00This seems like a very high calculator, when I mai...This seems like a very high calculator, when I maintained at 140, I had 1500 calories a day and this says that I could have 1668 at sedentary to maintain 140. I don't think that is true.<br /><br />It says that at my current weight, sedentary I would need 2008 calories a day to maintain. Well I seem to be gaining quite rapidly but I'm probably eating much more than that most days. <br /><br />I do think that the conventional calories in and calories out is true, however I do agree that there are endocrine and hormonal problems that affect metabolism.<br /><br />Is there actually scientific evidence to support the hypothesis that metabolism is permanently altered by restriced caloric intake? I've never seen any convincing evidence to support this. I've always been sceptical about the idea that metabolisms can be permanently altered by caloric variances.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661912528152366517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-23076722634100746442011-11-07T22:45:51.890-05:002011-11-07T22:45:51.890-05:00I'm definitely effed up.

I'm barely losing on 1200 calories a day with 4-5 days of heavy exercise. I've done those calculations, and I would be back in morbid obese territory if I ate the calories they said I could eat.Rachel Schofield - Virtual Interior Decorator & Home Stagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535146432186812910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-2138853899330798302011-11-07T22:03:06.327-05:002011-11-07T22:03:06.327-05:00Mir, I not so sure about all of this because we ar...Mir, I not so sure about all of this because we are all so different how can one formula figure it all out? I know that I've got to get my head in the game a bit better then it has been. I'm doing fine if I want to stay right here but I'd really like to just get to 170 and live. <br />Thanks for the information though, it really is interesting.<br />I'm so tired I'm just heading to bed and will worry about tomorrow when it gets here. It's daddy's consulation day. <br />Take care Mir and have a blessed evening!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956818436541141380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-11618626118446274832011-11-07T19:55:08.509-05:002011-11-07T19:55:08.509-05:00I am in exactly the same boat you are. (Actually,...I am in exactly the same boat you are. (Actually, we started at similar weights, according to your history, and weigh similarly now! We're shaped quite differently, though, and I must say I'm a bit envious of your smaller size!) At my current weight of 180, my BMR is supposedly 1583. If I call myself lightly active (most of my exercise is walking, but I walk a LOT), I get 2176 calories/day; if I call myself completely sedentary, I get 1900. I will unquestionably gain weight at 1900 calories per day, never mind 2176.<br /><br />I don't have a very strong opinion about a goal weight, but at 165 and lightly active I'd supposedly be stable at 2087 calories a day. RIGHT. I can be reasonably happy around 1500-1600, but I think I'm going to be settling for whatever weight that ends up supporting for me. And it's not likely to be any 120 pounds, no matter what the equations say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
