No one can answer this for you. How long have you been dieting on your current diet? Have you lost weight doing what your doing? Are you hitting 1,370 NET calories per day on a weekly basis? For how long?
If you are properly using the MFP tool, you should be losing weight. If you aren't counting all your food or exercise calories, you're not using the tool as it was designed.
Time will reveal to you if you are at the right amounts or not. Several people including me have tweaked their calorie targets both up and down with time. Stick with it, you'll get there.
1370 has been since i updated my weight this past sunday. before that it was 1420... im not seeing the weight drop as fast as it was when i was set at 1420. but at the same time im not some crazy thinking i need to lose every day. i do weigh every day to keep me on track, but only really pay attention to the number on sunday. i just noticed that this week i havent lost like i usually do. i dont know if its because i added in 30ds or if its the bad day i had tuesday combined with my sunday cheat day..i keep an eye on the weekly net calories on the mobile app..sometimes im over (by 10 cals one week, 135 another) sometimes im under (by 2526 one week 490 another, but i was sick during some of that time).
i do log all foods and exercise0
