I have 9lbs to go before I hit my goal weight and the more I read the more I question what I am doing. I mean what I have been doing has been working but is it right?
When I am redoing my goals....If I set my activity to light I get 1320 calories per day however if I set it to sedentary I get 1200.
I am 5'5 139lbs and my normal day consists of get up with the kids and go to work, I work at the computer but am up moving around as I take my 2 year old with me. When I get home I do some housework, make supper and get the kids ready for bed. At night I exercise and relax on the computer and watch TV. I am usually in bed around 11pm and up at 7. I have my exercise set to lower 2 days at 30 mins because I figure anything above it bonus and that is a minimum.
What is the best way to set it up? For exercise I ONLY add true exercise, never cleaning or normal daily stuff. If I strap on my HRM for Just Dance or a long walk that is what I record.
My daily activity should be sedentary or light? I guess I am confused here because changing this changes my allowable calories.
Also wanted to add that I am set to lose 1lb a week.
