I’m not sure why you’re giving out false advice. I weigh 170 lbs and burning 600+ is totally doable lol. If I pushed more I’m sure I could hit 700. 60 minutes is a long time period
That said, if you aren't losing, then why would you think that you're out exercising what you're consuming?

Serious question: wouldn't he be more "efficient" and therefore burn less per minute? So sorry for the ignorance.2 -

Sorry to thread jack, genuine question.....what would be a semi-accurate way to measure calories burned on an elliptical? I use an apple watch and it does estimate numbers in the 600's for me.0

Focus less on exercise and more on what you're eating. Identify the amount of calories you have to eat to lose 1-.5lb a week, buy a food scale, measure everything that you eat.1

Hello! How's it going? Don't worry about losing weight just for holidays. You need to take it one day at a time, focus on your diet and exercise, change up your routine a little, so you can maintain a healthy lifestyle. Then over time, the plateau phase will go away. I'm dealing with this similar situation myself, so I know how you feel. Sometimes, the number on the scale can be ambiguous even though your body figure has changed and you feel much better. Stay positive!0

If you were losing weight, it would be fine to claim you were burning that much. It might not be true, but it wouldn't hurt anything. You're not losing weight, so it is hurting you. You need to adjust your calorie intake and exercise expenditure until it matches reality, because reality is not going to adjust itself to you.
By the way, Mapmyhike gave me a 490 calorie burn for 31 minutes of slowly walking around shopping the other day. Probably not true. A little common sense goes a long way.
Do I understand that you haven't been logging your food? Start there. It's very common for people to unconsciously adjust their food intake upwards when they exercise more.0
