How Many Calories to Consume?

If you follow the 2,000 calorie recommended diet on packages, you'll definitely fail at losing weight or building muscle mass. Everyone requires a different amount of calorie intake based on their height and weight. I used a BMR calculator to find out how many calories to consume every day. The BMR Calculator will calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate which is the calories you would burn if you stayed in bed all day.

First Day With Pictures

If you are like me, you've tried many diets. The weight leaves and revisits. You know you can do it but you just need a little motivation. I find myself looking through magazines for pictures of beautiful women to motivate me. I cut out pictures, look up transformations online and dream of getting that perfect body.

I'm at the point where I've had it. I want to get the body I have always dreamed of and I want it NOW.

Some basic rules I have started with:

- No eating 4 hours before bed

- Drink two glasses of water upon awakening

- Drink a cup of green tea after lunch

- No sugar, chips, fast food

Height: 5'6''

Bust: 36
Chest: 29.5

Waist: 29.75

Hips: 36.25

Thighs: 22.25
