Default Reducing A Number By 1 (one)

I have a cell range named CNT. Initially a number is manually entered in CNT
for the number of rows to be added at the cursor's position. Let's say that
number is 2 (two). As the machine adds rows, I want it to decrease the value
of CNT by 1 (one) until the value of CNT equals zero (0). I do not know how
to write an Excel macro line to do this. If it were a Lotus 1-2-3 macro,
that line would be, {let cnt;cnt-1}. My macro's end result is a circular
reference and the value of CNT is 0 (zero) after its first itineration.
Below is my macro.

Sub Macro1()
' Inserts rows until CNT value equals zero
Do Until Range ("CNT") = 0
If Range ("CNT") = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Select
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
Range ("CNT").Formula ="=(CNT)-1" '<-- My incorrect line
End If
Loop
End Sub

Thank you very much for your help.
