Thank you for sharing that. :) My body is probably just adjusting to my new routine.

Okay, so what is it that you recommend for me? :)

Thanks for the article (: Even though I'm 12 lbs. overweight, I want to lose 22 lbs. overall. My goal is to weigh 130, which is a completely balanced and healthy weight for my height, right in the middle of a healthy BMI. That's why I'm making so much effort to lose it. If I increase my calorie intake, I'm really scared…

Yeah, I understand the logic of it. You would still lose weight from cutting back on calories, but you wouldn't be losing any weight from the exercise because you're eating it back. That's what doesn't sound appealing to me. It would be better to be losing weight from cutting back on calories aaand the exercise.

Lol thanks for the advice. (: How long have you been on this diet?

I don't really follow the diet plan that MFP set up for me. I use this app so I can keep track of my calories, but I adjusted my calorie intake to what I felt would be good while still staying within a healthy calorie amount. I don't know, I just feel like eating back the calories I just burned is self-sabotage. I want to…

I understand that having too much of a calorie deficit is bad. But I'm only 5'3 and I currently weigh 152 lbs. So I'm about 12 pounds overweight. I'm 5'3, 19 yrs. old, and I weigh 152 lbs., which means I'm 12 lbs. overweight. According to that, my BMR is 1513 calories. So eating 1,200 calories and burning 300 creates a…

Wow, that was a great article! Thanks (: I seriously was considering just eating 1,000 calories as I've done in the past, but I'm going to stick to the healthy way and try to avoid incorrect entries to make sure I'm really eating what I think I am.

I have a food scale to avoid the eyeballing/guessing thing. But how can I avoid the incorrect database-thing?
-
I have a food scale that I use to measure all of my food.

Wait, I don't understand. What would be the point of working out if I'm just going to eat back the calories I just burned? Wouldn't that be pointless?
-
Thanks, this helped. I'm pretty desperate to lose some weight that I gained recently so I freaked out when it seemed like it wasn't working. I'll just keep at it.
-
What do you mean by bad logging by the way?
-
That's true, I guess I need to be patient. It just kind of freaked me out because I was working so hard and to see that was kind of disappointing.
-
I've been on it for a week now. And I haven't been eating back my calories burned. I stick to the 1,200 and then burn an additional 250-300.
-
Does anyone have an idea of why that could be? It really has me tempted to go down to 1,000 calories per day, but I've read that it's dangerous to do that. However, my body seems totally unaffected at 1,200.
