Congrats! I'm Curious; what's your daily calorie goal (before exercise?)

Just losing. I’m just wary of mfp where they dropped my calories to 1200 and I’ve been stuck. I can go lower and from what I read/hear, 1200 is too low. I’ll check out what they recommend and see if it compares to any I’ve calculated. Thank u!

Trying to lose. I lost 35lbs and froze for months. Mfp has me down to 1200 caps which every nutritionist says is way to low. I was encouraged to count my macros but every macro calculator gives me ranges that aren’t even close.

Thank u so much for taking the time to respond. I’m female, and it is the same area U said, the “pouch” under the belly button. I get there will always be something there, but this def needs to lose a few inches. I do cardio like u 4-5x/week, count calories religiously (like I said, I lost 38lbs so far,) and strength…

It’s def the same place. I go 2 inches under my belly button and measure around that way. I do my waist as well which has lost inches. It’s only the abdomen that is not budging.

I feel like because I havent lost one inch from that area with all the weight Ive lost its permanent maybe? I don’t know!

Thank u! So I won’t manually add my exercise, I’ll just assume it is being added. And I have been stuck for about 4 weeks at the same weight. I started December 1st and lost 30 and just seemed to stop. I’m keeping with my calorie limit, sometimes less, so I may have to switch something up. I just don’t want to get…

And, I have no idea why the sunglasses emoji dude made it into my post!!

Thanks for the tip. I looked at the website and it’s funny because proform gets some pretty high rankings! I’ll steer clear though

Would u mind sharing the model you have? Thanks u so much!!

Thank u!

Thank you so, so much for the advice. I was shy about going in person to talk with someone but it looks like that’s the smarter way to go. Especially because of the comments that knee pain may not be from my shoes! I will pay closer attention. And ty for that video, I will watch and learn

Thank u, it totally does. I just assume 400. It seems like the lowest number from what I have read. And if i Use the minimum I know I won’t over credit myself with calories burned. Given my weight (which is way over 142) and the effort I put into it, it has to be more than the 400. But I will use that to be safe. Just…

Thank u.. I didn’t realize fitbits did that. I’ll check it out.
