Good evening all,
Need opinions.... I lost about 50 lbs over the last 3 yrs. I have slowly regained about 18 lbs and now I’m trying to get back on. When I started MFP I gauged myself as active and It was a successful weight loss. I’m curious, now that I want to lose those 18 lbs, since I coach should I leave it at active or should I raise it to very active. I typically step about 20,000 steps per day and run 3 miles daily. If I leave it at active it gives me a 2,070 calorie count and if i raise it to very active my calorie count is 2,470. Should I eat more to help me kick start my metabolism? Or should I stick to my guns and what got me here in the first place? Thanks.

    I would probably look towards being very active and then putting in your exercise, that will give you a better judge of how active you actually are without going overboard on your cutting.

    Just my opinion for what it's worth.

    I’d suggest staying with active. Weigh yourself daily or at least weekly. If you’re loosing too fast you can always up your cals by 200-300 and then gage your loose for the next couple weeks.
