Calories burned? Help!

llana002

So MFP has my goal for burned calories at about 270 per day, I burn an average of 700 perday, yet I still eat within my total calories range.
This may be a stupid question, but am I burning too many?
Please check out my diary!
Also I've barely lost any weight. I struggle with 2lbs every week... I need some help. I thought weight loss was faster in the beginning...

Weight loss is weight loss. May be fast, may not be. Depends on a lot of factors. 2 lbs a week sounds like you're right on track. You probably don't want to lose more than that per week. It could potentially be dangerous to your health.

Just make sure you listen to your body, give it what it needs. I wouldn't say you're burning too many calories, just make sure you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to sustain such a rigorous regimen.

Are you using a heart rate monitor? If you're not perhaps you should look into getting one so you can have a more accurate read on how many calories you're actually burning. I took a quick peep at your exercise and saw that you had entries like 557 calories burned for light cleaning. If you're just using the MFP exercise database, you may be off as far as calories YOU actually burned carrying out an activity. But let me note that losing 2lbs a week is pretty awesome. Stay focus and committed to your goals and know that few things are easy and quick when it comes to weight loss.

I'm really not sure what the point to MFP asking in the goals section. It doesn't look to me like it holds any relevance at all.

I took a look at your diary. It looks good for just starting out. Could it be improved. Sure. But it's ok.

Did you take measurements? How are your clothes fitting? How accurate do you think your exercise calories are?
