Okay I'm just making sure I'm understanding it. I just don't understand why my friend changed my activity level to active when it is asking about how active you are on a daily bases not including working out. Which I'm lightly active, I work retail so it's lightly active, I work 4 days out of the week and my normal work…

That's what I thought but my friend changed it to active

That's with exercise, I thought it would be entered as lightly active, since outside workout I do retail and its 4-7 hours of walking 4 days a week. I had it at lightly active but my friend changed it to active

Oh okay, that makes sense. I just hope I logged my activity level correct, I put active. Ppl told me that it means how active you are on a daily bases like work not working out. Because I know I'm active since I workout 6 days a week

Did not know that, I guess it's good that I asked this question :) I might just stick with MFP, I'm just always hungry. So I should eat 50% of my calorie burned back? MFP has me eating 1920 with being active. And burned 574 calories and ate 1887 and have 607 left. Should I eat 50% of the 607 left? Which will give me 303…

That's what I'm getting confused, some ppl say when they ask how active joy are they are saying how active your work life is not how active you are with working out. I hate guessing games lol

Yeah that's what I'm hearing eat 50% of your calories back

Yeah they asked how many times do I workout/week and I put 6

Gotcha, so pretty much every calculator is pretty much just a guess and isn't accurate? So I pretty much need to just see how my body reacts to how many calories I can eat and still lose weight

I didn't know that it factored calories burned into the amount your able to eat, I thought it was without calorie burned.

So I should follow MFP and not iifym? I'm trying to get the most out of everything.

So which one is more accurate/better to follow? Iifym or MFP?

Oh okay, see my friend put me to lose 1.5lbs before she changed it I had me losing .5lbs a week and I also had my activity level at low since I work retail and I'm not there everyday I work ok average 4 days a week at 4-7 hours so that should be lightly active right?and she put me at active. And I workout 6 days a week for…

The goal that I got was from this website called iifym and said that suggested calorie is 1737. I have a polar watch, so I know what I'm burning is accurate.

I am so in :) Last Friday my weight was 134.0 and today (Friday) is 134.4 :( makes me so so upset. I think it's from having the past 2 days working out like crazy.

Good because im ALWAYS on my phones MFP app and I would love to have it on my tablet when I get it :)
