What's my activity level?!?!?!

karenlw75

When I first joined MFP I had my activity level at sedentary. I have a desk job and did not get much exercise. I started going to the gym daily, walking most places I went, and swimming or joggin at night. My question is should I change my activity level to being more active on here? I am still pretty sedentary duriing the day, but am putting in the effort to lose the weight.

You asked my EXACT question and searching for the answer only brought up your post... Hopefully we'll both find out soon!

your body will adapt to a specific type of exercise. you need to up your game. with the swimming/gym try adding/increasing resistance, changing the type of exercise you do. with the walking, I would continue that, but maybe add hills if possible- you can do this with a treadmill or stationary bike that has a programmable routine on it. Good luck!!

Are you logging your exercise? If you are then you don't need to change your activity level as the exercise log will add the extra calories.
