Exactly: MFP says eat 1200 if I'm also adding back gym calories, I'd be doing about 600-800 additional calories (if I went by MFP it would be higher, so would what the cardio machines do). From all of the research I've done, the heart rate monitor is the best way to figure out how many calories you burn (I only wear the HRM when I'm at the gym working out). So then, I'd be eating 1800-2000 calories.

Unfortunately, burn more than you eat worked for the first 50 pounds I lost, but has not been working now. I'm eating less and burning more, but not losing any weight.

Like I said......above.....

Thanks for the links. I was thinking that maybe I was eating too little, but you can see where I'd be confused with other people telling me I'm eating too much. I think I'm going to un link my fitbit from my MyFitnesspal. I like the FitBit just because it tells me if I've been moving around enough or if I'm being too sedentary. As a teacher, I like the percentages of my goals that it gives me (I equate that to grades and I like As).

I'm going to set my goals to 1200 for now, but eat back my exercise calories. Hopefully this will help.

Hope you find what works for you. There are no easy answers, sometimes it takes some trial and error. Best wishes on your success.

I know this might not seem very fair of me, but i know of a way but i cant post it here cause it might come off as an advertisement. But I can tell you that i have lost just this week alone, 7 lbs. I have not exercised one bit and I do not starve myself. And believe it or not I do indulge in my favorite ice cream for the holiday season. Peppermint! Just cant be without it.. You tell me how I can give you what you need to know .:happy:

How is this not an advertisement?

^^^Exactly...sounds like an ad to me. Inbox her if you wanna advertise lol

Less emphasis on cardio, more emphasis on lifting...slow and heavy. Build muscle so your metabolism is burning more 24/7!!
