Activity Level

When is the right time to change my activity level? I've been not very active for about two months and I've been exercise/working out for about 5 days a week (at home) and only been losing 0.5+ pounds.

I don't wanna change my activity level and I stop losing weight.

(BTW my calorie number right now is 1680)

    Your activity level has nothing to do with exercise. Its more about your regular activities and work.

    Set your activity level to your everyday life activities. If using mfp you do not include exercise in your activity level, it gets added separately.
    I walk around 15kms a day (20,000-25,000 steps), 7 days a week and I have myself set to sedentary on here. I have my fitbit synced to mfp which adds those exercise calories for me.

    I use the fitbit the same way and think it works great. I add other work outs on here though
