ALCON, I often develope excel worksheets and workbooks to help with health and finances. Attached you will find one developed to figure out how many calories you need to eat to reach your goal. With this calculator you put in a little data and it will tell you how many calories you need to eat per day to meet your goal. You can adjust the information for an instant update to see what it will take to meet your goal. Let me know if you have any questions, Ray Attachment: (Downloaded times)

That's a neat chart. I started to enter data, but my goal isn't the loss of lbs as much as firming up! I'm only 137 lb. right now, and my goal is only 130 to 135. I can do that. What I really want to do is firm up more. Do you have any suggestions? How do you feel about working out on the exercise machines, as oppose to Calisthenics?

The important thing is variety; I try to mix up using the treadmill and stair master to burn calories. If you do the same event all the time you will get board, and your body will actually figure out how to adapt to the exercise. Let's say you do the stair master for 20 minutes, on level 10 that is about 100 stories. You will burn about 250 calories in this event the first time you do it. If you do this same event, three day a week, by week three you will be burning only 200 calories. Your body will become more efficient at what you are doing. Variety is very important in anything you do to change your body be it lose weight, gain weight or to just firm up.

There will be more charts and information, I just found this forum today and I have been putting information out about this for some time in the Army. Point of note, in the past 18 months I have dropped 30 lbs and built muscle (Which means I dropped about 40 lbs of fat). Yes, I know, that’s a lot, the Infantry destroyed my body, but I am getting back on track. In doing so I have read a lot and practiced a lot of good nutrition and supplements.

Variety is very important in anything you do to change your body be it lose weight, gain weight or to just firm up." That's what the exercise place I was going to told me when I wanted to stay on one or two machines. They wouldn't let you. It made me mad, and I left! <heh> Now, I belong to a Health and Fitness Center, where I can work any part of my body I want, for as long as I want. I'm glad you talked about this Ray. I'll be more cautious about just working one machine, often! About Muscle weight.......... in order to firm up, won't that make muscle? Then I can actually gain, yet accomplish my goal? You sound like you're getting an opportunity to really work on getting into shape. Good for you. It makes you feel better mentally too!

You are correct, keep in mind if you take 1 pound of fat, and one pound of muscle and place them side by side, there will be two very distinct differences. First of all, the pound of muscle is MUCH denser than the fat, so you will have a lot less muscle (Keep in mind they each weigh a pound). Now, what does it take for your body to maintain those two? It takes 50 calories per day to maintain the 1 LB of Muscle, and it takes 2 calories a day to maintain the fat. Knowing this, if you replace the fat, with muscle (Firm it up) you will most likely gain weight, but lose size. In doing this, you will burn more calories because you will have more muscle to maintain (By maintain I am talking about your body keeping the muscle warm, not going to the gym and working out more because you have more muscle). Ask any questions you might have, or start a new thread, if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you. Ray

The same amount of work using 20% less energy. I knew the body had an ability to adapt but thought it would be more like 2% or 3%.

You would think, but the human body is amazing. Did you know that the goal of the body is to store fat and get rid of the muscle? It's up to our minds to trick the body into thinking we do not need the fat...

"Did you know that the goal of the body is to store fat and get rid of the muscle?" I've heard that the body will resort to burning muscle before fat under certain circumstances but wasn't sure why. BTW, I watched a segment of a science report about brain injury that shows that if an area of the brain that controls a certain function has been severely damaged the brain has the ability to reroute control of that function to another part of the brain. There is on-going research into how to activate/accelerate that process. In some sense we are very fragile but in other ways very robust.

I agree we are very robust, what helped me better understand how the body works is (bear with me on this) separating mind from body. Do you recall what the monks call their body? If you said a temple you are correct. I used to be a comfort eater, due to the stress in my life I would eat certain high calorie foods because it made me feel good. Then I realized what was happening, my body craved these foods. As I learned more and more about the body, I realized my body has different goals than my self image (brain) does. The bodies main objective is survival, your body knows that it must maintain a certain temperature to survive so it craves the food to create this heat. As we eat bad food we teach the body what food supplies what supplements and food that is used to convert to heat. When we limit our food or "Go on a diet" the first thing our body does is trigger the cravings... well, we have will power so we do not indulge in these cravings right? So our body starts to panic, after five hours of not eating the body goes into starvation mode... The body looks into its self to find nutrients to break down to maintain the heat so it can survive. It has two basic sources of food... the fat we hold, and the muscle that we use to move around on a daily basis. Well then, why doesn't it just go to the fat storage and burn that stuff up? Well, that's a good question, the problem is, it takes the body 50 calories a day to maintain the muscle, where it takes only 2 calories a day to maintain the fat... the decision is simple, get rid of the high calorie cost stuff so it does not have to worry about that... in the end, you burn mostly muscle and very little fat. The irony is, fat has 9 calories per gram, where as protein and carbohydrates have only 4 calories per gram. (Alcohol has 7 calories per gram). Again, the fat storage is the bodies last line of defense to survival, it has worked long and hard to build up the storage of fat, and it will do everything it can to maintain the storage. Hope this helps you better understand, Ray
