I do Jazzercise. I am actually an instructor. I burn about 500-700 calories a class. That is measured by a Polar HRM

You are all amazing! Thank you for your comments.

Thank you so much for the responses. I'm coming from weight watchers where we did points and I have no clue how many calories I ate to lose on that program. I've slowly put on about 20 pounds after losing 75. I'm at 196 right now trying to get back to 175 and hopefully my goal of 165. I like to eat and do not want to feel…

I'm a high school teacher and a jazzercise instructor at night. I tried 1490 calories a day and was starving! I upped it to 1600. I checked my bmr online and it said its 1640.

Thank you for the responses so far. I am literally in tears over this issue. I worked so hard to lose 75 pounds and I DO NOT want to gain it back. I feel stuck. I don't want to jeopardize my mental health but I also don't want to gain more weight. Such a double edged sword!! I am buckling down even more with the calorie…

I only upped them for two weeks. It just freaked me out because I have lost 75 pounds and am up 5 from my own slacking, hence why I am here. I have read tons about the TDEE and posts from people here and I am trying to figure out a good calorie goal for me. According to the scooby site, I should be eating around 1900 I…

Maybe I should do like you said and eat more on my workout days, eat closer to BMR on rest days, and 150 extra on weekends. Thank you all for your responses. I had great success on WW but am really liking MFP. I know they are kind of the same but I am just having a hard time adjusting. Weird, I know :)

See....I upped my calories a bit to change my loss from 1.5 to .5 but I gained! I have read tons of posts about eat more to lose but I am just not sure if that works for me.

I switched from WW and am trying to make the adjustment. On that plan you had your daily allotment of points (kind of like calories), then extra points to use during the week (not just on weekends) in case you wanted a dinner out or a splurge. I am just having a hard time adjusting and thought this might be a nice…

Mine never did :( However, I gained a TON of weight and had large babies. My ledge got smaller but never flat. I have some saggy skin as well from my stomach being stretched and lots of deep stretch marks. Things have improved from all of the weight loss but it will never be like before I had children. My husband doesn't…

I have had 2 C-sections. I gained quite a bit of weight with my first pregnancy. I think I got up to 270? Anyways, after I delivered I was down to 248. I then continued to lose 75 pounds. Unfortunately, my stomach skin is saggy and wrinkly because of it. I also have what they call a "Scar ledge". Scar tissue built up…

Thanks so much for the advice!!

I have also made the switch from WW to MFP. I lost 75 pounds on ww but needed a change. I struggle with the no weekly points thing as well. What I try to do is stick to the calories that MFP tells me but then allow myself one splurge meal. Not a splurge day, just a meal. Example, tonight we went to a local BBQ place. I…

Thank you so much for all of your helpful tips. I may up my calories a little bit and see if that helps!! :)

I eat back the calories I burn on the days I work out. I was just curious about the days I don't work out. I didn't know if 1400 calories a day was too low for me. :smile:
