You walked to the store? Did you end up having to carry a bunch of groceries back?

I have a question 🙋🏻♀️
How many calories should I be eating?
I used to eat 1000-1200 and wasn’t seeing any improvement
When I start here with the group, I started eating 1600 and started to see a change in my weight lowering
I’m strength training 5 days out of the week and don’t know how much I should actually be consuming.
Hi @alexhomeandcoffee here are links that I shared earlier (page 1 of this chat thread, where I show my calculations):
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/calorie-deficit#creating-a-deficit
https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/calorie-counting-made-easy
By reading this, I found that my basic maintenance caloric consumption is 2655 per day. This is based on my age, height, weight. I'm trying to achieve a deficit of 500-1000+/- (consuming 1655-2155) and averaging 3500-7000 deficit over the week. Last week, I managed 5200 and this week looks to be a bit more so far.
Once I get into better exercising habits, I can adjust according to my activity levels and weight changes. If you're active and weight training, you need the calories for fuel, so it will fluctuate depending on what you do each day.
The biggest 'aha' moment for me was understanding that there's a maintenance amount and consuming less than that should bring about change. However, I don't think I've ever gone over 2655 and know that the activities I do are what will make all the difference.
I like what @minstrelofsarcasm says, 1200 is the absolute minimum and "Food controls your size, exercise controls your shape."0 -

This is Rwiza Village in Kibuye on Lake Kivu, one of my favorite places to visit in Rwanda. Those are one- room cabanas that look out over the lake. In the early mornings and evenings, sambaza fisherman sing as the head out to ply the waters, and then again when they return at the end of the day.

I had fun on the veg out challenge and even went meatless for 5 days. I was going for a whole week, but I finally broke down and ate some bacon today. I don't get to have it very often.

That was better than I anticipated!! The main thing that I did was portion control. Unfortunately, I still had KFC and cupcakes this week, but I was not walking and grazing all day long. Also, I have been upping my water intake. The goal is 100 ounces per day. Right now, I am at about 64 oz daily.5 -

Late post …just got back from a roadtrip. Great progress all! I knew that this week I’d maintain as opposed to lose. But, I am back home and doing the do!4 -

I am so happy to see that I am maintaining some steady progress. I barely exercised last week because of some extensive training for work, but I am definitely trying to improve that this week. Hope everyone has a great rest of their week.6 -

I haven't gotten a new fitbit yet. For some reason on Sunday it did not track my steps until 4pm. I walked on the treadmill for over an hour that morning. On Saturday we went to the aquarium and walked for hours. I will have to get a new one soon. I didn't even wear it today. I gave myself a break.2

Stuck in this plateau waffling between 193 and 194 since the end of June. Sticking with it, counting my calories and drinking my 100+ oz of water. Just like my last plateau, if I stick with it, the scale will start to move again. My last plateau in May took about 3 weeks, so here is hoping I have a good loss next week. Good luck to everyone!5 -
Hi guys, May I skip this week’s weigh in?
This pre-period bloat and weight fluctuations aren’t the most encouraging thing 😅4
