So that's saying I need 1900 calories? I eat less than that every day.

In MFP, it asks me if i'm Sedentary, Lightly Active, etc. That's where I'm not sure, either, because i DO sit all day for my actual job (my walking breaks are in the afternoons). All of my lifting activity is before work. So am I sedentary or lightly active?

My pants WERE starting to fit better, but not anymore. That's why i believe I'm not losing. I think I have issues with water weight as well, since a lot of it is in my stomach. I've always had issues with this, though. Even when i was running tons. In 2012 I ran a half marathon and gained 15 lbs - and it wasn't muscle.

So at 178 lbs (dang I hate putting that out there!), CrossFitting 3x a week, and walking 3-4 times per week, how many calories SHOULD I be eating? This is a loaded question, since some say I'm eating too much, some say not enough lol

I CrossFit about 3 times a week, and walk daily.

Thank you so much everyone. I'll up them and try not to get discouraged if i gain a little! And I'm going to add in more weight lifting. Thanks again!

HAHAHA. No, I won't look like you...cause...well..I'm not a dude :-) HA! Yes I definitely want to add shape as well as loose weight, so to the weights I go!

Thank you Sir :-) It's so weird that you beat your plateau by eating MORE...but I guess that works! And thank you for the encouragement!

WOW. That seems like a lot! It scares me to up it to that much, but maybe you're right - my body is just too comfortable. Thank you!

I'm going to a nutritionist tomorrow, I don't know if they can test for that there or not. I will add some weight training - thank you!

I've looked at several web sites to see how many calories someone my age/weight/height should eat to lose 1-2 lbs per week, but I've seen everything from 1200 to 1670. Hence my confusion :-)

I'm 30 years old, and I unfortunately sit at my desk all day. My activity comes from running 2 miles first thing in the morning 5 days a week, and in our office gym 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes. So you weigh close to me and eat 1613 calories/day?

I've thought about that, but I have NO idea what to up them to.
