Ok.. so I went on fitday.com and I signed up. My BMI is 1780 ... what exactly does that mean?

should I eat 1780 calories a day.. or less than that to lose weight.. and how much less than that. Sorry I'm new to this!

1780 is what your body is using just by living.... now to lose weight you will need less then that..other wise you will just maintain your current weight.

So, 1780 + exercise (i.e. 325 calories) - (i.e. 500 calories to lose weight) = (i.e. your food budget would be 1605 calories) Now, that number will change daily depending on your exercise..... just don't consume more in calories then you burn. Does that help?

If you want....email me shell1970@aol.com with your current weight, age, highth and what you want your end weight to be and by what time.... I can tell you approx how many less caloires to need.
