Hi....my name is Jennie I am 52 years old. I have gone from 224 lbs to 148 lbs on low calorie method (ugh) I still have 13 lbs to go.
I would like to make adjustments on my calorie intake and the only thing holding me back is that I honestly do not know what my activity level is.
I brisk walk 45 min 5 x a week but other than that, I am mostly home watching tv or doing housework.
Am I sedentary or lightly active? I am really confused and need some advice....please help!

148 lbs
Thanks for taking the time to read this.....I appreciate any suggestions

I'd say lighlty active, or better...definetly not sedentary.0

I think I'd put sedentary, then log my activity and eat at least half of the exercise calories back.0
-
I'd use lightly active.
