I have about 60 lbs to lose, so I know I'll have to tweak it as I lose. I think you're supposed to re-run the numbers every 5-10 pounds. Interesting insight into adjusting BMR based on body type. Since I'm heavy, I would almost certainly need to adjust down, based on what you said. I'm going to leave it as is for now and…

Definitely sedentary! Until until a couple of weeks ago I was working out a lot, but I just changed jobs and I'm trying to find the right time in my schedule to workout. Once I do get back into a rhythm, I intend to eat back most if not all workout calories.

Interesting! Thanks for the input. I've always heard/read/been told to eat back the calories I burned in exercise. Hm... Anyway, I'm totally comfortable eating 1200 cals a day, I just wondered if it was too low and my body was holding onto the weight and if I should up my caloric intake to counteract that.

I did a LOT of research on this topic because I was having a huge freakout over my sugar intake. I hated that two pieces of fruit shot my sugar intake through the roof!! What I found out is that. basically, sugar is sugar. Whether refined or natural, your body is going to turn it into fat. HOWEVER, unless you're hitting a…

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the answers. I wasn't sure if I needed to increase my sodium, but I feel a lot better now about my levels!
