Wow that video comparing the food on the table is amazing They look almost the same and a huge difference in calories, 1700 vs 2900 Probably small amounts here are there are adding up and I'm not realizing it I was still feeling hungry though so I thought I wasn't eating enough. So what if I am still hungry at eating 1200…

Ok I will try to more carefully measure out the portion sizes. I tried to use a measuring cup for a cup of cereal to see where in the bowl that goes up to for it to be one cup, I did not do that every time, then after that I estimated it. For lunch I usually ate burritos or a packaged salad from Trader Joe's and it says…

Ok, so there is a difference between eating more + exercising and only dieting even if you net the same amount. That's what I was wondering about. I figured 450 calories for 5 miles on the treadmill is about right? Also for me I'm not a good runner so for me the 5 miles at 1 hour I'd say is like an effort of 6-7 on a 10…

Ok so my goal should be to net 1200? And no less than this? And if I go over this, then exercise it off until it gets to 1200 but not below? So if I eat 1200 calories and work out so the net is below 1200, that is bad? (even though the calculators are saying that I should eat about 1200-1240 if I workout 3-4 times a week) ?

I usually buy packaged food that has calories on the label, or if it's from a restaurant google it, otherwise I estimate it. E.g., for breakfast, if I eat a cup of cereal and half a cup of milk I'll put that as 150 calories + 50 calories (for example).

I was doing the treadmill because I thought you had to eat 1200 calories no matter what, then if you want to lose weight you have to exercise that off. But if it's ok to eat less than 1200 calories and not exercise so the net is the same, I would prefer this.

It's still at least 15 pounds. And it's very visible on my body (fat hanging out of my belly, can't zip up dresses, fat under my neck, etc.) I put in .15 pounds/day (1 pound/week), selected sedentary, sedentary and it says caloric intake target is 880! With .08 pounds/day (.5pound/week), sedentary, it says target is 1140.…

On the treadmill when I enter 110 pounds it comes out to about 90 calories/mile. So I guess it's more like 450 calories, but possibly less, maybe between 400-450. I just rounded it up to 500 as the day's exercise total, maybe including some other steps I take during the day (walking to car, errands at the store, etc.), so…

What do you mean by 1500 calories a day with exercise. Do you mean you eat 1500 calories a day, and you exercise some of that off, so the net is less than 1500? Or you mean you have eaten more than 1500 calories, and with the exercise the net was 1500? If I eat 1500 I will gain weight :(
