Help figuring out my activity setting

Hi, everyone:

I wondered if some of you could help me figure out my activity setting. I am currently set to "slightly active," with the goal of losing about .5 pounds per week. I'm close to my goal, I think, although I still seem to be losing weight pretty easily, so I'll see where it settles in the end. (Currently 5'6, 135 pounds).

The losing weight is part of the issue: now since I'm back from holiday I have a new schedule that has me walking to the library and back about 3-4 days a week. It is about 2 hours of walking total. Would that now make me active? I ask because this week I've lost 2 pounds. I've been eating back about half of my exercise calories. Unfortunately, my fitbit went though the wash, so I'm having a hard time figuring out just how many calories I'm burning!

Thanks in advance!

I've heard of Fitbit replacing ones that went through the wash by accident. You might want to try contacting them about that.

Weight loss takes a whole lot of trial & error to find what works for you. So increase your activity level, give it two weeks, then reevaluate your progress.
