    I weigh more than you, thats why, my body acts as my weight, think about it. By the time I am done I am dripping in sweat, I do burn, but you dont have much to lose, I am heavier so thats why I burn more til I lose more weight, when I lose more weight I will burn less, like you. I have done search on how much I would burn n mfp is about accurate, I have been on other sites. You burn less, you weight less

    Even though you might be heavier than me, I have significantly more lean body mass than you. And muscle has much greater caloric requirements. Also, it's hard to compare as we don't know each others intensity levels.

    One very different suggestion: Dress warmly! If you are cold a lot, wearing (long) wool underwear may help. Then your body doesn't need to work that much at keeping you warm, and you will need less calories. Also, it's more comfortable than going around feeling chilled.

    And don't tell me it itches, modern wool underwear is the softest, most comfortable thing you can get. :-)
