I would say maintain and start a heavy lifting program, if you aren't doing one already.0

i log my weightlifting as cardio activaty, by minutes, which is almost an average of 280 calories per workout,
but should i eat less than daily calories or change the weight loss goal or what0 -

At some point the scale is not that important. Weight training, not cardio, shape your body. You are like the lady who is skin and bones and then when she walks away her but is jigling. She is more concerned about her weight than her physical appearance.0

Look up road map under the message boards. Helpful in calculation of how many calories you should be eating.
I personally eat TDEE less 20%. I do log my exercise but I dont eat those calories back as my TDEE accounts for them already.0 -
How long have you been doing what you are doing? If this is recent then I would say choose maintain and lift heavier. Then you can see how your body is firming up over the next month or two and make adjustments from there.0
