I forgot to follow up on something I promised a couple of days ago. When I gave you the link to the calorie burn calculator, I told you that I would show you how to calculate how many calories your body actually needs - but I never followed up. Here's the link: http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php. Enter your gender, age, height, and current weight, and it will calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). This will show you how many calories your body needs to maintain your current weight. If you are a 40 year-old female who stands 5'3", and you weigh 210, your body requires 1674 calories to maintain its current weight.
I also wanted to pass on a resource for you - it is impossible to pick up a fitness magazine without being bombarded with images and ads that are not appropriate for a Christian to spend their time with. I found a publisher that puts out a magazine (6 or 7 issues a year) that you can access online called "Fit Christian". It appears to be about all-around fitness, with interviews with Christian athletes, recipes, workout ideas, etc., but without all the garbage of the world. You might want to check it out.
