Basically what im asking for a male at 219, is 1500 a reasonable number?

I was hoping to be down to 200lbs by Christmas so thats about 20lbs in 2 months. I had a month and half plateau a while back so that may have ruined that. I would be happy with at least 10 by then.

Im not exactly sure my fat percentage but im 219lbs/5'8" 28yr old. I guess il keep it for now and test it out for a few weeks.

I am weighing and logging everything. Now that I'm not on my feet all day should I change it to not active. It would be bring my calorie intake down to 1500 from 1700. Right now it's set to 2lbs/week lightly active which I started at. If I turn negative calories off then it would not take my steps into account.

I do have negative calories settings turned on and I use activitys on my vivosmart and let connect add it to mfp. I never add an activity into mfp directly. I just wondered because for example today it's given me a negative excerise so I actually can only eat 1600 today according to connect.

I bit more confused, I discovered http://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ and my TDEE on there is 2500 so if thats more accurate than should I be eating more like 2000-2100cals a day? After 55lbs lost my progress has slowed down quite a bit over the last few weeks.

Im wondering if i just shoot for 1700 daily, il be safe.

Well im going to stick with it for now as see how it goes, if I'm still stalled Il have to test out adjustments.

It was pretty steady for 1 to 2 pounds a week. Yes I do with right my food. I try to stay pretty strict with it. I only adjusted it today so at guess il have to see where things go next few days. Today I actually ate more than 1800, around 2000. I have been gone over before. I drink water like crazy too.

It never would tell me either and just came across that 10lbs rule. I think I may need to switch it to active. I have it at 2lbs a week. Iv lost 27lbs so far no problem and then it just seemed to hang for a few weeks. The 1800 is after I readjusted my current weight.vitnwas 1900 before.

I have one right by me I was thinking of joining for the winter. Interested in hearing more reviews. :)

Picked up a vivosmart HR a month ago and love it. Glad I picked it over a fitbit.

Yeah I noticed it posts it a aerobics too. Not sure what just cardio is labled as.

I find finding geocaches is a lot more fun .

Thanks bud. Adding you now :)

I think this site will be the difference between success and failure since I don't have any personal support around here. Actually turns out a friend of mine from my old city is on here so that helps.

Thanks guys, added you all. I'm excited to get really moving on this.

Thank you, I added you.
