I hear what your saying, I do weigh and track my food pretty accurately. Sure there are times I go out to eat and I'm estimating portion sizes but after being acquainted with portion sizes for awhile, I think I'm pretty decent at determining how much I'm eating. I am pretty active also but its been doing a lot of cardio…

Wow that's awesome! Those are about my stats, for height and weight!

Thanks for your answer! In terms of activity level I do cardio at the gym about 4-5 times per week, burning about 400 calories each workout. I still actually want to lose a few pounds but sometimes when I go over I just want to make sure I am not getting into weight gaining territory and just eating at worst at my…

Thanks for your input!! And you keep a steady weight and don't ever gain eating this amount? I feel like after being in the mindset of eating 1200 in the past, I am just wanting to make sure whatever I eat for maintenance wont cause me to gain any....

Feel free to add me as well! :)

Yes true it could be water retention true. So you think maintenance is higher than 1400-1600? Yes you are right, time to get a scale and figure out where I am at. Thanks for advice on which calculators to use! :)

Hi! Thanks for your answer. Well I haven't actually gotten on a scale. I probably should but I guess I'm trying to stay away from getting neurotic about the number. Going by the way my jeans fit, I started fitting well into my old size 27 jeans, and they still fit but are feeling more snug than they did before - so I'm…

Amazing results! Congrats on your weight loss!! :wink:
