I took measurements today (02/27/10) and I am amazed of my accomplishment from June 2007. The inches, pounds, change in BMI and Fat percentage I looked at the difference from last year and I am impressed.

Something has awakened in me and I feel the change not only physically but mentally as well. I am making better choices. For the first time in forever I lost weight at Thanksgiving instead of gaining. What an accomplishment.

When I started this journey in 2007 I had no idea I was half fat!! I have reduced from size 24X to an 11 in my jeans - from 2 & 3X to mediums in all my shirts. Even my shoe size went down by half. This week I actually gave away two pair of workout pants as I just couldn't keep them up any longer no matter how tight I pulled and tied the drawstring. I am just so proud of myself that I set this goal to get healthy and I am doing it.

Thanks to all my Spark Buddies and Spark Teams for all your help and motivation!!! Stutter, Pam, Corrine, Meh and Chantel - you all have been here every step of the way and walking this journey with each of you has touched my heart as well.

HUGGS!!!!

I am getting better - daily - and I am learning to love myself. The Joys of the Healthy Lifestyle and Spark People opened a curtain and let the light in - shining brightly - I am inspired to move, motivating myself to heights I never thought I would look out from.

I feel great, I am looking better and the thought process has changed. I really am amazed at how easy it's becoming to change how I treat my body. What a wonderful feeling.

Below a little helpful hint in the math - to help keep me on track.

Your results for the Women's Nutrition Guide Calorie Calculator

These results will help you to know how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, and the number of calories needed per day to achieve your goal weight in a healthy, steady manner.

You need 1914.1 calories per day to maintain your current weight without exercise.

You need 1850.3 calories per day to reach your goal weight slowly and maintain that weight without exercise.

If you reduce your current caloric intake to 1414.1 calories per day you will lose one pound per week without exercise.

If you increase your current caloric intake to 2414.1 calories per day, you will gain one pound per week.

Exercise and Calorie Needs

If you exercise for 30 minutes each day, you may increase your caloric intake to 2139.4 calories per day and still maintain your current weight.

If you exercise for 60 minutes each day, you may increase your caloric intake to 2421.1 calories per day to maintain your current weight.

If you exercise for 30 minutes each day, you will be able to reach your goal weight with 2068 calories per day.

If you exercise for 60 minutes each day, you will be able to reach your goal weight with 2340.1 calories per day.

Macronutrients

The United States Department of Agriculture suggests that approximately 50 percent of your calories come from carbohydrates, about 30 percent from fats, and approximately 20 percent from protein sources. One gram of protein has about four calories, one gram of fat has about nine calories, and one gram of carbohydrate has about four calories.

You need 239.3 grams of carbohydrates, 63.2 grams of fat, and 95.7 grams of protein per day for 1914.1 calories to maintain your weight of 151 pounds.

You need 231.3 grams of carbohydrates, 61.1 grams of fat, and 92.5 grams of protein per day for 1850.3 calories to maintain your goal weight of 136 pounds.

Please remember that these calorie counts are an average, you may need to adjust your calorie needs up or down slightly to get the results you want. Your results are calculated to help you understand how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, or the number of calories you need to lose weight slowly, over several months' time.
