lessertess, I am guessing the 10-15% would be LESS calories than the machines are telling you? This whole thing really irritates me.............OF COURSE I have been basing my calorie burning on what these stupid machines say, guessing they are not all the way accurate, but should be somewhat in the ballpark. Where do I…

OK, so may join but wondering-(newbie here) if I have to worry about the calories burned doing that and having to add them to my "net calorie" intake every day? Thanks!

for telling you the amount of calories you have burned during your workout? I enter my age and my weight most of the time, I am just counting my calories eaten and calories burned right now, and want to know just how accurate most of these machines really are? I go to Anytime Fitness (if you've heard of that) basically a…

Oh, yeah--and is that only for the days that i do workout? Do I stick to 1200 for the days i don't go to the gym? Thanks again for all your help!

Ok, so how in the heck am I going to lose weight eating that many calories when the normal daily caloric intake is "supposed " to be 2000 cal per day (i know this is what, a national average or something?) :smile: This is working out--actually normally i go 4 times per week with the calories i told you. 1500 calories?…

Ok so, I am 38, 5'7", 194 lbs, was trying to eat 1000 cal/day but the counter says always consume** the 1200 per day--well for crying out loud, with burning (most recently) at least 500 cal/day and eating 1000, my actual calories consumed would be 500--right? Activity around home--I do daycare so--moderately active--but…

Oh dear, no--did I say per day, 3-4 times per week!!! Thanks for noticing that and for the link! :)

Hi there, I have been working out for 2 months. The first month I did lose 8-9 lbs. I was working out 3-4 times per day and eating probably 1000 cal/day or less. Yeah, Month 2 I gain/drop gain/drop pound by pound and have gotten no further than those first 8-9 lbs. I gather from what I read, that starvation mode has…
