Hi everyone... I've been seriously using mfp for a little over month ... Have DRASTICALLY changed my eating habits... They were terrible.. anyways mfp set me to 1200 cal a day which I have been until now ... I have been walking atleasy 4-5 times a week for 30 min atleast.. doing zumba most days and this week I have started 30 ds... Haven't don't zumba since starting this ...I've lost
12 lbs ... I have been.netting. way below.. like lower than 1000 never eat my excercise cals back ... My weight loss has completely stalled ... I'm 5'5 in. 136 lbs my bmr is 1465 ... So I think by reading all these posts I should start NETTING 1465 cals
I have posted about 2-3 threads on this in the main board... I'm hoping yall can give me some assurance or.tell me if.this is wrong... I really want to continue losing! Thanks guys sorry it was a long one!

    Hello,

    So I ran your numbers for "Moderate" Exercise (3-5 hours).

    What we get is:

    BMR 1460

    TDEE - 2264

    TDEE -15% cut target - 1924.

    I would start at 1924 calories a day, and do not eat your exercise calories back.
