When I say exercising 3 times a week, thats when I do workouts, visits to the gym or on the wii fit. The rest of the time i'm walking a couple of miles a day.

I'm 5.7 and weigh 167 Ibs, using the tool on here it says: Your estimated BMR is: 1,520 calories/day*. I've been eating maintenance for 5 days now, before that it was 7 weeks of 1200 calories.

I'm in a similar position, I have been doing MFP for 6 weeks and have managed to lose 12ibs which is great but for the past 2 weeks I've been stuck on the same weight.
