I'm Large

This morning I found a link on a website to calculate your body size, it was not surprising that my body type came back "large". Shocker!
There was a more useful link on this page though...a weight lose calculator. You can use it by putting in desired pounds or desired weight in combination with the date that you would like to reach this goal and it tells you the daily and weekly weight loss needed to reach your goal. SWEET!
Since I am not in a rush to lose weight and I am more focused on getting healthy and developing better eating habits I said my goal date was December 31, 2010. As for my pound goal, I mostly just wanted to get under 200 so I set a goal of 190. Here is what I got:

To lose 40 pounds and reach your target weight of 190 pounds by Friday December 31, 2010, you would need to lose:

Number of pounds to lose daily : 0.25 pounds Number of pounds to lose per week : 1.78 pounds

I'm not sure that I can reach that goal, but it doesn't seem to unrealistic to me either.
