207.2 Less than 2 lbs to normal weight

  I gained .7 pounds from yesterday, but that's ok, because the drop the day before was a whopping 2.8 pounds.   I really really did not want to do treadmill last night, but I was a pig at dinner and I knew I must do something to avoid disappointment the next day.

  So I did 100 minutes at 2.7mph at maximum incline.   The low speed / max incline is good because I was noticing last night how little impact there is when I step.   This is probably so much easier on my knees than walking on the paved pathway.   Also I sweat plenty even with no shirt on and the fan going, so my energy use is probably higher too.

  So yesterday was  1/2 walking with Dennis,  1 hour to wegmans and back for lunch, and then 1 hour 40 minutes on the treadmill.   Thats 3.17 hours which works out to about 9 miles.   

So how many calories is that?

Your weight. The more you weigh the more calories you burn walking per mile; the less you weigh the fewer calories you burn per mile. The amount of calories you burn per mile is equal to double your weight in pounds divided by 3.5. For example, if you weigh 175 pounds, you burn 2 x 175 = 350 / 3.5 = 100 calories per mile. Since there are 3500 calories in 1 lb. of body fat, a 175-pound person needs to walk 35 miles. A 125-pound person burns about 71 calories per mile, and would need to walk 49 miles.

(207 * 2)/3.5 = 118 cal/mile.   So I need to travel  3500/118 = 29 miles to lose a pound of fat.

So I should be losing about a pound every 3 or 4 days if I keep this up

Gah!  That stinks.  I want to lose a pound a day.
