I had never heard of TDEE until I just read it in your post, links_slayer. Clearly I need to do more research! I'm sure MFP must've asked me if I wanted to do 2lb a week if it's against their system recommendations...But I set it up so long ago I don't remember so it didn't trigger me to think "hey, maybe that's why it…

Lightly Active and 2lb a week...You and SpecialSundae were pretty much correct. Changing it to 0.5lb a week has brought the calorie goal up to above my BMR. Thank you! :)

Thanks, I was wondering this too. Just did Day 2 today.

Thanks everyone. I agree with the "if you were doing it when you put the weight on..." statement, however I have almost doubled my work hours, so I am actually doing more than I was when I put the weight on. I'd totally forgotten about altering lifestyle settings, so thank you for suggesting that! I will give that a try…

Thanks all! I LOVE Wii Zumba, so glad I can add it to My Fitness Pal and get some credit for it!
