Thank you all for the advice! It’s been super helpful 😊

Also..... I’m on day 5 of my period. Should I try next cycle?

Thank you so much for the advice! I’m going to try it!

Sorry, I probably should’ve clarified that - so my calorie goal my has been around 1,900, and some days I eat back most of my exercise calories, some days I don’t really eat much of it back. It just depends! I mentioned the 1,700 because a previous commenter advised using what MFP suggests and that’s what it calculated…

Ok! Should I stick with the calories I was eating previously or eat what MFP tells me - around 1,700?

I would say *pretty* accurate! I use a food scale to weigh food basically all the time

Thank you so much for the advice! I’ve been stuck in the 146 range since July 28.. Is that considered a plateau? I did change programs a few weeks ago which includes more weight training.. What do you think is happening and what can I do to get out of this rut?

Also wanted to add... I stay at home with my son so my daily life isn’t *too* strenuous or high activity-level wise

I think I will! Thank you!

Thought the same. Thanks for the advice!

Or can I just switch over completely?

Thank you for the advice!!

Should I aim to have a refeed day on a rest day or a low intensity day?

I will definitely read that article. My starting weight was 170, I’m now like 159. My goal is 130!

Wow. I love that. Thanks for sharing!!

That definitely makes sense! Lol

My period just ended!

Yes, sorry my daily calorie goal!

Thank you for the tip!! I might have to go in and adjust my activity level! How do you determine that?

Thank you! When I first started this app, I was 170 but ended up using the Noom app for awhile. I ended up dropping down to 165 and my deficit was around 1500 calories a day (I used an equation I found on Healthline). But, after looking at different calorie deficit calculators online, the goal I was getting online was…
