What do you use to calculate the calories? Is it pretty accurate?

I tried that as well. Even tried Changing it to maintain and even gain. 😂I suppose I will try again tomorrow

Thank you for those scenarios. I suspect then, since my TDEE/maintenance is about 1570 and I’ve set my daily caloric goal to 1380, creating a deficit of 180. If I were to create an additional deficit through exercise by about 100 calories more, I would be at 1280 calories, which may be too low? I guess I’ll just see how I…

I deleted the app, logged out, reinstalled and logged back in and it did not fixed it:(

I see. I now have another issue. I changed my calorie intake to 1370 and changed my macro goals, and that change is reflected in today’s diary. But for the days after today, it says my goal is 1200 calories... I keep going back to my goals and it says I entered in 1370 calories, not 1200... 🤨

Thanks so much for the advice. I used multiple TDEE and BMR calculators online and that’s how I came up with those numbers. It makes sense since I am usually quite inactive, and am at 137 pounds. Another question I have is if I create more of a deficit by exercising, should I eat back those calories? If eating less and…

Bump

Thank you!

I don’t see it anywhere :(

Well, I am only almost 26 weeks pregnant and at my last weigh in I have gained 31 lbs! :( my midwife just suggested to watch both my carb and sugar intake. I don’t know if I have gestational diabetes, since I get my glucose checked in the next week or so. But up until recently I have eaten nothing but junk. Including all…

How do I do that?

I am not sure if I need to mention this, but I suffer from anxiety and depression. It's not that I don't want to put in any of the work. I spend some days just planning what I want to do. Meal prep. Order kettle bells. Buy healthier foods. But a lot of the time my depression seems to just take over and I'm back at square…

Whenever I go long without meals, I feel dizzy, faint, and want sugar as a pick me up.

Exactly. Which is why I'm asking for advice.

Uh yes, I do.

Thanks for the response. Do you know if there's a reliable app for iPhone to track my steps?

Wow - thank you EVERYONE for all your responses, I read every one of them. I probably should have noted that I have been out of my last relationship for more than a year, and I broke it off. That is when I started to be my heaviest was in the relationship, then towards the end is when I started taking more affirmative…

See I had that before, I lost 50 lbs! But now I just can't make myself! How do I make myself want to?

Now that I think about it, I was probably over on a few days.... by how much , I don't know. Maybe one day it was at least 2000 calories, and others it was just a couple hundred over my goal.... =/

So going over in my fat goal wouldn't really effect me gaining real weight? Yeah, the sodium really takes its toll on me, which is why I try to keep it below 1800 mg every day. I get bloated so easily!

Is 1400 or less calories a good number for trying to lose weight at 135 lb.? Should I up them? I'm not active.

Not at all. I'm kind of a freak about my sodium so I try to stay around 1500 mg a day. I also have been eating low carb for a while now, not intentionally, but a lot of the time it's under 100g. I'm 5'4".

Yeah, I've been slacking lately. But even when I did track consistently, I didn't lose.

Hopefully OKC but...

Awesome, thank you so much! I really need to get some exercise in though, because I am SO flabby even though I weigh 135 lbs. I really dislike cardio and don't know too much about at home strength exercises. What do you think I should do for cardio?

Do you think its bad to eat cheese everyday, if it's just a serving? (1/4 cup). I'm interested in your opinion of my diary today, if you don't mind taking a look! =)

Problem is I don't work out, hahaha. I'm too poor for a membership and don't know anything about doing it myself here at home.

Nice, thanks for the suggestions! I went for the sugar free creamer instead of the fat free, but I should probably just go back to using almond milk. I love cheese, so I need to ween myself off full fat sharp cheddar. The other stuff just doesn't taste as good. I added a mini bagel to my diary for later, but I've already…

So would you say its better to eat more calories and go over your fat limit, or to not eat anything else and stay under? (under 1200 is where I am at right now...)

Yeah I just started getting back on track, so there's not much to look at unfortunately. I do eat a lot of cheese, but I try to limit that to 1-2 servings a day. But that also contributes to the fat.
