    You know, I was once 20 and I understand emotions. I'm a woman just like you. I apologize that my phrasing upset you, it was my intention to help, but now I just feel like a jerk. I was stating a fact, not "questioning" you or calling you a liar or saying you are stupid. Simply misinformed.

    Sometimes I wonder why I bother. =\

    You aren't the jerk...You were trying to help. She would rather stick her fingers in her ears while sticking her tongue out at you.

    I do not question others on the amount they burn, I'm not sure why you feel the need to do the same for me.


    well of course people are going to question the amount you burn...you're asking for weight loss advice. there's only two things to question;calories in and calories out.

    lolol

    You asked a question OP: People will tell you what they think they know. You can respectfully either take it or leave it. No need to be rude to people who bothered to try and help.
    Good luck:flowerforyou:

    Formulas, step counters and HRM cannot acurately predict exactly how many calories YOU (or I) are burning. They are always based on averages and very few people are actually average so we have to adjust our eating to fit with our own burn. The HRM will give you a rough estimate but then if you're very carefully counting calories to less than that burn rate and not losing then the estimate must be higher than what you are really burning so you have to adjust and drop say 100 calories. You see if that works and drop more if necessary. If you're not losing then you are either over estimating your burn or underestimating your intake. It really is that simple.
