  • I am up on my feet most of the day taking care of toddlers but nothing that makes my heart rate go above 115bpm.
  • No it’s not for MFP I’m just trying to figure out my activity level
  • Ok thank you. So should I just stick with the calorie allowance I have been doing?
  • Not very active but I’m on my feet a lot through the day. Nothing too crazy just walking around.
  • lol I am happy with the amount I've lost so far but I lost 17 pounds from July 1st- August 1st. And now I have only lost 2.8 pounds since then so I am wondering what could be causing me to lose 2 pounds a week. I am new to all of this so I'm just making sure I'm doing things right. I do have a lot to lose so I've been told…
  • Yes the first month I was losing more than one pound a week but since August 1st I've only 2.8 pounds. So these past few weeks my weight loss is only aroun 1 pound a week.
  • My calorie goal a day is 1350. I do use a digital food scale and weight almost everything. I do have a cheat meal on Saturday but I make sure it's not too much over my goal and eat a little less on other days to make up for it.
  • I have a lot to lose. I am 221 pounds & 5'5. I have my activity level set to sedentary and it gave me 1200 calories a day.

I am also breastfeeding so I burn an extra 200-300 calories everyday with that - Which I've been eating back.
  • Thank you all so much! I really appreciate all the helpful tips and suggestions. I've only been doing this for 2 weeks and I lost 11 pounds within a week and a half by only eating 1400 calories a day and burning 300+ with exercise most days, so I figured I wasn't eating enough. I just want to make sure I lose weight in a…
  • I have not had surgery. I am just starting my weight loss and have many questions. I honestly don't want to do things wrong and mess up anything. If this helps I'm - 23 yrs old - 223 pounds - 5"5 - I just start exercising 30 minutes a day 5-6 days a week.
  • The 1800 calories is only my food calories. My maintenance calories are 2800 so I'm already at a 1000 calorie deficit from just eating less. I burn around 200-400 everyday in exercise calories from walking. Should I be eating those calories back or just not worry about them?
  • So on here when I input my health information it says that I should eat 1800 calories a day in order to lose 2lbs a week. Is that taking into consideration that I work out? I usually burn around 400-500 when I work out M-F wouldnt that make my calorie intake lower than it should be? Sorry for all the questions. I'm new to…
