Just call me McFat.

So many weight loss things to discuss. 

First and foremost:

An hour on the elliptical may burn my fat ass 919 calories. The chances of my actually lasting that long... Well I was about 40 short today. [wamp wamp wamp] So, ok, I didn't do an hour, but I did 20 on the treadmill at a moderate "brisk" walk (thanks, self.com) and 20 minutes on the elliptical. A grand total of: 413 calories burned. Which isn't too shabby my friends! (not for a fatty with a slightly gimp knee.)

Second:

I'm loving being registered on www.self.com. Loads of information. So I was playing around on the site and I found a calculator that shows you if you want to be a certain weight, exactly how many calories I should be eating... Um..  Bone to pick... Maybe I'm way off base, but I don't feel like a consume 3037.5 calories per day. I mean, I developed my own gravitational pull SOMEHOW, but I seriously don't believe I eat that much EVERYDAY. Sooo.. To lose the 100 pounds I need to I should only consume 2045.45 calories. Ok, I believe that. I probably intake that much now... but I don't weigh 100 pounds less... Something to think about. How many of those 3,000 calories am I actually in-taking and not realizing? I dunno. 

It's time to get my game face on.

Third:

At self.com you can also log all your workouts and food intake. Major plus. I consumed 1,506 calories today. I'm not planning on eating anything else tonight (unless I just can't deal with the hunger, duh. I'm fat.) So... If I'm eating 1,500 calories a day, shouldn't the pounds just fall off? 

You'd think.
