    Thanks for the eating suggestions! I really need to add some calories I guess since I'm not scale not moving down much. I'm started Turbo Fire yesterday so I'm hoping that will help also but I need to increase my calories after all that workout!!

    OK...I really am sorry about all my stupid questions. I have tried researching before I post, but I think I'm just getting more and more confused.

    So going by MFP's BMR calculator, I need 1437 calories per day. To lose weight (which is what I need!) I need to subtract 500 calories, which will bring my daily caloric intake to 937...which, if my research is correct, is too low. Am I correct so far??

    Now, I read a post that said some people with smaller caloric needs don't need to eat back their exercise calories. Hmmmm...I think I am now more confused than ever!!!

    If I eat 1,437 calories, then exercise and burn off 500, then my net intake will still only be 937! Is this good or bad? I thought you shouldn't go below 1200???

    I am so very very confused...but am really dedicated to getting this right. TIA!!!

    OK, never mind y'all...I just told my man everything, and he repeated it back to me and now I get it. Weird, huh? I reckon sometimes you just need to hear it in order for it to click in your head! :-) I get it now!!!
