Eat what you burn.

If you're satisfied with your rate of weight loss, are healthy & feeling well, your doctor says you're OK, etc., why change what you're doing?
BTW, my doctor & dietician told me not to eat back exercise calories. Ignore net.
Just figure your healthy goal weight, multiply by 10, and that's your calorie goal. Eat that.
As you lose weight, hit plateaus, etc., you'll have to revise your calories downward; I've done 50 cal at a time, just a nudge to get going again.

If you are still trying to lose at that rate keep up what you are doing. If you are going more toward Maintenance then go to what MFP suggests.

losing faster will most likely lead to a large % of your loss coming from lean muscle, not just the fat you want to lose.

Whats the rush?????This is becoming an obsession!!!!!Stop the madness........slow is better than fast....... this will help you maintain further down the road........No point in making yourself sick......

You are already losing 3-3.5 lbs. per week. Am I understanding you correctly and you want to lose faster?

That's right, I'm not seeing the results I want on the scale. I am 6"5" 365 as of September 1st )no idea what I lost this month yet, it's not over) this process is taking forever

You shouldn't rush it anymore because you will run the risk of losing muscles at a higher rate as well. My advice is to leave your deficient as it is, incorporate weight lifting, and have patience. As you get closer to your goal weight then consider these guidelines:

As a rule of thumb, the following weekly targets would give a balance between minimizing negative side effects and seeing a reasonable weekly weight loss:

More than 75 lbs. 2 lbs./week
40-75 lbs. 1.5 lbs./week
10-40 lbs. 1 lb./week
Less than 10 lbs. 0.5 lb./week

Oh God, that advice to take my goal weight and multiply by 10 and eat that makes me very :sad: I'm hangry just thinking about eating only 1400/day!!

Not saying it's the worst advice out there for those that can do it, but I did it by accident yesterday and pretty sure my SO was on the verge of filing for divorce by 9pm last night :embarassed:

Smh u sound like my mom, and I guess it's a small obsession, I think about it often tho, until it's cheat say Ofcourse =p

Your mom is wise. Listen to her. Don't rush this, or you're going to end up losing too much muscle, which means you'll burn less fat and possibly wind up with fun stuff like osteoporosis (no, it's not just for women, men get it too)

OMG, I know what you mean. Especially since I burn at least half that amount with exercise every day!

There's only about 11 weeks left in the year, and the most I could lose in that at my Rate is 33 to 40lbs, I was hoping to be out of the 49ers but doesn't look like that will happen and it's really upsetting.

Permanently damaging your metabolism and overall health because your body doesn't have enough fuel will be even more upsetting. Even more upsetting will be if you rush this too much, don't permanently fix the reason you got to your highest weight in the first place, and wind up back there. You're 24, which means you have plenty of time to lose weight in a healthy way. 2, maybe 3 lbs a week is perfectly fine, and it's much more sustainable than what you're wanting to do.

As a previous poster pointed out, at your current height/weight and activity level, you can easily eat 2800 calories, MAINTAIN the current level of exercise, and still lose almost 3 lbs/week. You NEED to eat enough to keep your body's organs (y'know, fun stuff like the heart, brain, etc) functioning. Those functions all require calories. Burn off too much, and your body will start metabolizing muscle and shutting down things like hair growth, nail growth, and things like that in order to keep your heart beating and your lungs operating. Eventually, your metabolism will adapt and you will no longer lose weight even at that level. What are you going to do then, eat 1400 calories and still have to exercise 6 days a week to lose weight?

Not trying to sound mean or like a b**ch, but don't permanently damage your health for the sake of losing weight too fast. You did not get to this point over the course of just one year, you won't lose it over the course of just one year either.

I'm still trying to understand what you are saying here, but you burn more than 1200 calories in a day doing absolutely nothing. Your body burns calories to function. That is your BMR. For instance, I'm 5'5'' and 225 lbs and my BMR is somewhere around 1800.

I'm not counting walking around, and stuff like that. I'm talking just merely eating only the calories I burn in a gym session, and not more.

Okay, I'm done being nice. STOP TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF!!!

Your body is counting walking around. If you keep at this, not only will you not be able to go on the eliptical, but you will get sick. Your body needs fuel. It can only get the fuel from food. If you don't eat enough food, your body isn't going to magically take the extra fat it has that you want it to take. It's going to take whatever is closest, which is going to be your muscle. It's going to take your lean body mass and make it harder to use those muscles later on the elliptical. DO NOT JUST EAT THE CALORIES YOU BURNED IN A GYM SESSION AND NOTHING ELSE.

By the way, 55 lb loss in 5 months is great. Don't sabotage yourself now. If you lose too fast, you will gain it all back. It has happened over and over and over to many people.
