I'm 5'6 & weigh 190lbs & 30 year old , I've put myself on 1200 calories but im struggling to eat them & i walk all day with my dogs so i'm gaining more calories.

Not sure if this is going to affect me losing more weight?

For instance last night i went to bed updated my diary... It said i had 1,145 calories remaining

:embarassed:

    How long and how fast are you walking? How are you estimating?

    888 calories from walking is quite a bit. Consider that the average burn for running is 100 calories per mile, that's an 8 mile run. Walking burns less than than (a little more than half if I remember correctly). Even accounting for hills, it is rather a lot of calories.
