Yesterday was my day 1 and I didn’t quite manage to be as good as I’d hoped. However I did manage to be a lot better with my eating and drinking than I had been so I’m calling it progress and trying to be pleased. So far, today is going great.
I had a couple of questions, first yesterday I used the calculation given here to work out my Basic Metabolic Rate which was 1722.75. I was thinking that if I aimed to keep my calories around that level that because that’s what I need at total rest I should lose weight with a little exercise. Anyone know if that theory is right? Or is it totally flawed? I have a feeling I’m missing something major here.
Also yesterday, I wrote that I am intending to recommitment for 12 weeks to change my body/life as it were. Now, that’s a long time to commit too but I was wondering whether anyone else wanted to do a kind of challenge?
Maybe we could do a daily check in for June where the idea is to drink the right amount of water daily and exercise five times a week for X amount of time and leave a comment saying if you did or not? It would probably be a good idea to add five portions of fruit/veg as a daily goal too.
Just an idea, let me know!

That is what your cals should be daily, and it’s also important to select the right combination of foods to get that caloric goal.
I am wondering what I’m doing right now, I have so much *other* stuff on my mind, I keep pushing diet control and stuff to the back of my mind. I do well at the grocery store, but boy can I find ways to avoid what I buy. Once I get a couple of these big looming projects off my desk, I should be able to focus. I hope.
I’ll join you then - and I’m thinking of revamping P2G a bit and hope it will be better for those who want to remain active.
