    I always underestimate. Since I am a college student and I walk to all my classes, which is about a 10-15 minute walk to each one, I would be considered 'lightly active' BUT not all bodies are the same, and just to be safe I put it as sedentary.

    bahahaha... such conflicting information ..i'll stick with sendentary and i'll also eat back my exercise calories as i plan to be able to live this life style forever and i'm thinking that 1200 calories a day and burning 400-500 additional calories would leave me feeling pretty crappy... thanks to everyone :)

    Lol, the last month I hit both extremes--not eating exercise calories when I was at 1200, and then upping activity level and eating exercise calories. Both strategies have me maintaining. I have a hunch that I should be somewhere in the middle--eating a little above 1200 with exercise calories. Weight loss is always going to be trial and error!

    Hang in there!
