OK, I see now - I didn't read it that way! Anyway, my problem the last year hasn't been losing too fast, it's that it's a snails pace if anything! I haven't lost more than a pound in the last 3 weeks and then it just stops, and I get frustrated etc. I think when I was younger and I lost the 60 lbs I lost both a lot of fat…

True, but having a 2500+ calorie range and more to lose as opposed to the last 10 pounds and struggling to stay under 1200 is different! :(

Right, that is what I meant in my original post, but you said that could be inhibiting my progress? I sometimes eat up to 1700 if I burned 500, but mostly I try to stay in the 1200-1300 no matter what. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. So if I'm only supposed to eat 1200 but then burn 500 at the gym, I should still only eat 1200 every day? This would be eating 700 cals/day. I actually try to do this most days, but on days where I burn over 500 I might eat around 1400 (before subtracting from exercise)

I'm 5'7" and 158. I log all my calories! I have been trained to do this since doing WW years ago, and even if I am out or not with a scale I have portion sizes engrained in my head!
