In Crunch time Michelle quotes that you need a 7000 cal deficit to lose a kg a week. a 3500 cal deficit to lose .5kg a week.<br /><br />So yes it does apply to everyone - but remember it isn't an EXACT science<br /><br />Hang in there - it's all confusing to start but it's going to be FUN!kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00699346723960003222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577090587990158869.post-76872338365058118712011-02-16T21:45:56.981-08:002011-02-16T21:45:56.981-08:00Sorry If i'm a bit slow (really suck at maths!...Sorry If i'm a bit slow (really suck at maths! and anything maths related...) I cant understand where the "To lose 1kg a week I need to have a deficit of 7000 calories a week" comes from?<br />Does that 7000 apply to everyone who wants to loose 1kg a week? <br />Sorry this may seem simple to some of you, but I just cant seem to get my head around all the numbers.<br /><br />Thanks for your post though, Its FANTASTIC!! (and for your help) ;)<br /><br />Cheers, Tash (new 12WBT member)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577090587990158869.post-70282212887694143772011-02-11T03:32:46.178-08:002011-02-11T03:32:46.178-08:00Ha thanks for that maths lesson.... you know what?...Ha thanks for that maths lesson.... you know what??

That's why I've succumbed to buying a HRM, and I wish it would hurry up and arrive so I can do a similar plan!<br /><br />Is there anywhere you can walk to during the week to add in a few extra calories burned? Shops, school, work, the gym. If you burnedeven an extra 100 a day walking it would take the pressure off Saturdays.Georgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018368652374716825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577090587990158869.post-76841079581632045952011-02-09T19:42:53.114-08:002011-02-09T19:42:53.114-08:00Wow...

I just followed your whole step-by-step calculations to work out my own numbers and it's NO WONDER I'm not losing 1kg a week. <br /><br />Here I am thinking I'm being good exercising hard and burning 400 - 500cal maybe 5 days a week... But not losing more than 500g or so.<br /><br />Apparently I need to be burning 880cal p/day (eating 1300 cal which is what I've been doing... might change that to 1200 soon!).<br /><br />Wowee. Thank you for stepping out the math/science behind it. I can now plan my exercise more effectively.<br /><br />Fantastic.
