    No, you do not choose sedentary and then add exercise calories to it. That’s why it gives you other options for activity level. Even with a desk job, you could choose at least Lightly Active.


    Anyway, the other people’s advice here is dead on. You don’t have that much to lose. You don’t need to starve to lose weight and be in a calorie deficit, but reign in your expectations. A slower rate of loss is absolutely okay.

    Thank you for everyone’s input so far.
    Scale hasnt still moved much, Im 500grams down: 68,5kgs.

    However, I just did the body scan at the gym and Im happy with the numbers. While the scale is not moving much :(, I saw progress here. And well, Im one cup size down.... I wish I was reducing my belly/thighs size..not my breasts.

    Below are my results from August 6th and from today, Sep 1st:

    Weight
    69,5kgs - 68,5kgs

    %Fat Mass
    34,4% - 29,6%

    BMI
    24,2 - 23,8

    BMR
    1,392 - 1,447

    Body Fat Mass
    24,1kg - 20,4kg

    Bone Mass
    2,3kg - 2,5kg

    Fat Free Mass
    45,9kg - 48,5kg

    Muscle Mass
    43,6kg - 46kg

    Total Body Water
    32,8kg - 34,7kg

    Total Body Water %
    46,9% - 50,4%

    Visceral Fat Level
    5 - 4

    While I havent read much about what should be the trend for these numbers, in such amount of time, common sense and intuition is telling me this is good 🙃🙃🙃

    Im feeling motivated and wanted to share it 🤗

    Wish you all a lovely Sunday!
