Where did my Sens Mile thread go? Someone is trying to prevent me from propelling the Sens to victory!!!

If anyone is curious, I find it interesting to calculate how many calories a day you can eat to stay at your current weight.
1) Calculate your daily maintenance calories (Click Here)
2) If you want to stay the same weight, that's how much you can eat. If you want to lose one pound a week, you would subtract 500 from your daily maintenance. If you want to lose two pounds a week, you would subtract 1000 from your daily maintenance. Same thing goes for gaining weight except the opposite. NEVER EVER EVER go below 1000 under your maintenance per day unless you talk to a doctor. Why? Because your body's metabolism will go into shock and into "starvation" mode because you are eating so much less than it's used to. Then it gets used to this low amount and you will "plateau" in weight loss.
3) Exercise is where you get your bonus. If you really want to lose more than 2 lbs per week, you get that through exercise.
I really don't know why I wrote that out. I don't know if anyone will use that or care. Oh well.

I absolutely will. I'm pretty ill-informed when it comes to health and fitness and the more knowledge I can to improve my overall health, the better.
EDIT: Jesus. I didn't expect my maintenance to be as high as it is. 2999 calories a day.

Yeah, I was surprised for myself
So if you eat 2000 a day, you should theoretically lose 2lbs a week. Exercising can add to that.
1 Pound = ~3500 Calories
So:
Daily Deficit of 1000 Calories per day = 7000 Calories per Week
Daily Exercise of 200 Calories burned = 1400 Calories per Week
If that's what you did, that would be about ~2.5lbs per week.
Wow. That would be unreal. I'm absolutely shooting for this. I've never felt more confident in my efforts to lose weight than I feel right now. It's great. 2000 calories a day is absolutely fine for me, I just need to monitor my intake more closely and make sure I know what I'm eating.
Theoretically, if I did lose 2.5lbs per week, I'd be at 210 (my ideal weight based on height and age) in 14.4 weeks or 101 days. That'd be within the Summer and I'd have time to spare.
That's actually insane.
A good thing to do, apparently, is have 3k calories (give or take) for about 2 weeks. You won't put on a significant amount of weight, and when you go back to your normal intake (Recommended 2.5k here) you'll lose the weight easier...
So they say anyway, I'd be too scared to try that out...

Wasn't sure where to post this so your lounge seemed like the best place.
Full tilt poker is having a freeroll at 2pm (free poker tournament) with the winner getting free tickets to game 3 of your playoff series.
If you dont have full tilt poker you will have to download and install the software. I'm not advertising for them, I'm just a member there and thought you guys might be interested.
Good luck guys!
