Wow. I am surprised and proud of this, although I think I may be losing too fast. I’ve been counting my calories on MfP for lightly active which was telling me to eat 1750 calories to lose 1.5lbs a week. I lost a total of 9.8lbs in April which is almost 2.5lbs/week.

I’m wondering if I should keep doing this for another month based on what MfP is saying to lose 1.5lb/week and being lightly active? Or should I change it to 1lb a week or change it to active..... to increase my daily calories.

Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing the numbers go down but I want to be sure I’m doing it in a healthy way.

Thanks for your input 🙂

@bdashnay I think if you are feeling good, eating a balanced diet (all the colors of the rainbow), getting good sleep, staying hydrated; and not feeling dizzy or weak or short of breath or chest palpitations or pain, etc., then you can keep your calories at 1750. I think your loss will slow down as your weight decreases. Just my opinion.
If you are concerned certainly see your doc and/or make adjustments.

Here's to your health!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, more cleaning David's apartment, vacuuming living room, bedroom, clean tub and counter, clean kitchen and fridge, then putting things away in his new apartment, approx. 2-3 hours total. Fitbit has died so won't be adding any more calories burned, but I won't be getting up off the couch anymore today!!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, way under, only ate breakfast and late lunch at 3 p.m.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.

Exercise? Over an hour today between lifting and cardio!

Calories? Yes. Just barely squeaked under the line!

Tracked? Yes. Today’s tracking was awkward because I was having nibbles here and there, but I made myself track every nibble. 🤣 I had a chocolate and almost didn’t track it because I thought omg it’s just 40 calories, forget it, but I’m glad I buckled down and tracked it because that one treat was seven by the end of the day. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Exercise? Yes. Body pump and outdoor hike with dogs

Calories? Barely under..and sodium over bc had dinner at restaurant

Tracked? Yes

Happy Star Wars Day all! ^_^ We had a very junky celebration day here, but thankfully I could afford the calories because this was also my long run day! 😁

Exercise? Today was a 9 mile run, my longest yet, and several miles of recovery walking. I’ve found I really regret it if I don’t walk a good bit on my long run days.

Calories? Under my goal!

Tracked? Every nibble accounted for. 😋

I’m curious to see what my weight will be in the morning. I was a bit down this morning, moreso than I expected to see, but I imagine I’ll be retaining water due to recovering from my long run and all the salty food today. Not to mention the sheer bulk of food likely to still be in my system that I took in thanks to eating back exercise calories. Fingers crossed to show some kind of loss, even if small.

So I'm up again this week. Not really sure how, but I got some good exercise in and I'm happy about that. I also wore jeans last night that I haven't worn in a long time, so I know I am losing inches. Hopefully, I am just holding water.
