today wasnt that bad i guess. I had about 1500 calories and i'm about to go to dance for an hour. ugh i'm so bored of dieting. i hate food. i hate being obsessed with it and my weight and myself. i'm so self centered. roarrr btw i read somwhere that if you multiply your weight by 15 thats how many calories it takes to maintain your weight so 135 times 15 is 2000 something. Hmm So I'm negative 500 right now. I suppose I better start exercising a little more. i dont know, i'm so not in the mood for this diet crap anymore. : /

well if you keep doing the right thing then you will be able to do it just dont give up and dont think about food if your active and always on the move you wont have time for it just try to keep yourself busy with things you dont always have to keep yourself busy with excersize if you have a dog take it for a walk call up some friends and go out together and do something as like go to the park the mall i would say the movies but if you think your tempted to buy popcorn and stuff then why dont you guys buy 1 bag and all of you eat from it and i dont think that its true to multiply your weight by 15 because everyone is different and has a different metabolism i think it depends on your age weight and height because if i multiply my weight times 15 i could eat like 3,300 calories a day which is way too i eat up to 1500 to 1700 so im just saying that i dont know if its that accurate but it could be i just never heard of that before

someone naturally thin obviously doesnt have a normal metabolism, they have supper fast metabolism so it doesnt apply

I heard that if your really active then you multiply it by 14. So I think that is pretty high. I heard multiply by 10, if you are sedentary. So if you want to weight 130, you eat like 1300, unless you are active then you can eat a little more. At least that is why I read in my fitness magazine.

yeah its probably not exaactly accurate, but 100 pounds is pretty light so to maintain that you probably cant eat that much. who knows? everyone's different anyway. <3

THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IF YOU MULTIPLY YOUR WEIGHT BY 15 ITS HOW MANY CALS YOU CAN EAT TO MAINTAIN BECAUSE THAT MEANS SOMEONE NATURALLY THIN, LIKE 100 POUNDS AND 5'4 OR SOMETHING, WILL GAIN WEIGHT IF THEY GO OVER 1500 CALS?? HMMM...IM NOT SAYING YOUR WRONG, BUT IM JUST CURIOUS TO FIND OUT MORE
