I knew a got fat, but I guess I was in denial of how fat I got.
255.4lbs. That's a lot for someone that's 5'7".
I haven't changed my diet at all in the last decade or so, but my lifestyle didn't change. I went from running 40mpw, playing basketball, and biking a ton to barely exercising. I decided that changes today.
From now on, it's exactly 1500 calories a day. I'm also going to go running 5x per week. I just got finished with my first run and I couldn't even make it 5K - I had to start walking just over 2 miles in, despite running fairly slowly at 10 minute miles.
My sedentary BMR at 255 is about 2500 calories per day, plus an additional 2500 calories per week from running.
At my target weight of 160, those numbers are about 2000 and 1750, respectively. That means the median point in my weight loss should have a daily maintenance intake of 2553 calories, 1500 calories a day is about 7000 calories per week net negative, of 2lbs a week weight loss.
It's crazy that a guy has to eat the lowest recommended for men (1500 calories) and run 15 miles a week to hit 2 lbs a week weight loss!
Wish me luck! Hope to be 160 early 2021.
