hey I am 182 ....do you eat back your excersise cals? my goal is 150...

Thanks :) I think your right...there was a time a month ago where I ate 1200-1300 and walked for an hour every day for 3 weeks!! and didn't lose a pound....maybe eating more calories will help :)

sometimes I have trouble with weighing every day but then I learned that 3500 calories = 1 pound ...so lets says you weighed yourself one say and was 230 and you KNOW you were on plan and step on scale and you are up a pound or 2 it is IMPOSSIBLE unless you ate your daily maintence amount (most people around 2200-2500)…

I have the same problem...so what I do is I save 200 cals for after supper snack and the first craving I get for some food...I will first go have a nice hot bath and a tea...and then by the time I am done that I can look forward to a snack before bed...I know it is not good to have a bedtime snack they say, but for me, if…

so 152 x 8 =1216....but If 1216 is not enough to feel full and you want more food go excersise and burn 200 cals and eat 1400 a day and you still will lose at the same rate a week :)

also if you take current weight and multiply by 8, ,that is usually a good amount to eat to lose 1 pound a week... if you want to maintain...multiply your weight by 12 and eat that much a day to stay the same.... these numbers you will see should correspond with mfp

My advice would be to set your activity level to sedentary and try to make sure that you always NET more then 1200 a day :) if you ate what your goal amount of calories say 1300 and then you did excersise and burned 300 calories , your net would only be 1000 calories ..so make sure minimum you NET 1200 calories...so if you…

Best advice I can give you is set your activity level to sedentary and log your excersise.....with that being said MAKE SURE you eat your excersise calories. I tried to eat 1200-1300 cals a day and did excersise and for 3 weeks straight with NO cheats I stayed the same..n fact one week I gained a pound. As soon as I…

I added you :)

that good to know I have 36 to lose..and 1200 made me stay the same and I was staving...now I get 1430 to eat plus excersise and the scales are going down :)

yes :) always eat back your excersise calories :) because mfp already creates a deficient for you -500 a day for 1 pound a week loss.

it changes as you log excersise. mine said 1430 to eat....but then when I added in excersise at the bottom of the page it changed to a higher goal because It wants you to eat more.... for example I tried to lose weight fast andn tried eating 1200-1300 cals a day and didn't log exercise and though I for sure would lose...I…

i'll add you :)

i would!! im 26 weeks tomorrow and have gained alot so far
