i keep goggling different calorie calculator sites and all of them give me different numbers. i am not having any problems losing weight. but i have found that i almost always go over my stats that mfp says i should be at. i have read different forums and everyone has a different opinion on daily calorie goals.

i am currently at 228. started at 265 january 1st. i work a 9 hour shift 5 days a week. i spend half the shift at a desk and the other half on my feet and walking. i aim for an hour a day of cardio. i have had to take some days off from being sick recently. but im pretty good about it. elliptical, treadmill, and bikes. at home im a busy body. im always walking around and picking up, cleaning, and such. i dont like to sit in front of the tv. with this being said, im not sure if im light active or active?

any advice or an idea on where i should have my stats? i haven't hit a plateau yet, but just trying to educate myself.

    Well if you've lost that much weight then it sounds like you're doing everything right. If you think MFP doesn't have the right numbers, change them manually.

    i guess im just scared that its going to catch up with me eventually. and just curious as to why so many other sites say i should be eating more and yet mfp sets the calorie goals so low?
