Try eating at 1800 for a week and see what the scale says/ or take measurements...it takes a bit of playing around with calories to find the perfect number to lose at. Everyone is different. Theres nothing wrong with MFP's method where you log the exercise here, just don't eat back all of the exercise cals, aim for 50%0

I am 5 ft 7 and weight roughly 151 pounds. If you burn atleast 350 cals at your weight when giving it your all, then since Im heavier I should burn a bit more right? I wouldnt go over the 500 cal mark, but I give it my all during her workouts.0

I'm a little bit shorter, and a little bit lighter, but when I was at about your weight I would burn about 250-300 calories with a 30min Jillian Michaels workout, working really hard, according to my heart rate monitor. So if you're really pushing yourself, I think 500 calories/hr would be a pretty good estimate.0

Ok thanks much. When you say really pushing yourself, does it include the modifications that she gives sometimes, or going all out and doing it the same way she does it?0

Since you are doing intense exercise, give 1800 calories a try. I did jillian michaels Body revolution 3 years ago, I ate just under 1700 calories a day. I was very pleased with my weight loss. I was hungry a lot and I was doing 5 or more hours of cardio a week (running- zhumba) as well.0

I hope you don't mind me asking. but what heart rate monitor do you use? I am thinking I need to invest in one as well0 -

When I was first starting I did some of the modifications, but even then as long as you're keeping your heart rate up and working hard, you'll still burn the calories. It just makes it lower impact.0 -

I have a Polar FT4. I think it's one of the lower end Polars that has a chest strap. I bought it on Amazon for <$60 and have been using it about a year. I thought I'd find the chest strap annoying, but honestly I don't even notice it.0 -
Op your doing fine and your questions are not silly, everyone starts somewhere. Definitely get yourself a food scale though. Its so important. 1800 seems like a good calorie goal for you0

Thank you so much. I will definitely try getting a food scale to ensure that my logging is accurate as soon as possible.0

I do cardio with Jillian's workouts once a week, and the rest is plain walking or jogging. I love her body revolution workouts so much. It has circuit, resistance and strength training all in one. Thats the reason why it is sooo intense but worth it. I think I am going to try p90x. I heard people are talking about it, and how hard it is. I will give it a try .
