Well the thing is that I will eat good that day but feel as if it's useless if I don't exercise, which makes me emotionally stressed, and then I eat whatever I want because I think to myself that it wasn't going to work anyways since I didn't exercise.

1740 cals are my cals burned from normal daily activity according to MFP. And it says to eat 1200, so I have a deficit of 540 cals. It says my projected weight loss will be 1.1 lbs per week. Is there any way I can make that 1.5? I've already been told countless times on MFP that it'd be pretty much impossible for me to…

Okay MFP says to eat 1200 but the fat2fitradio website said I should be eating 1667. Why are the two different if I put in the same weight, goal weight, height, and age?

I've actually felt completely fine eating 1200 a day. No grumpiness or fatigue. I've been happy. :)

Okay, I will try to aim for 1-1.5 pounds instead and eat back my calories from exercise. Good thing you guys told me, I thought you weren't supposed to eat them back lol.

Oh I know you weren't trying to place blame, I was just saying that's where I got it from.

Okay, so just eating 1200 cals a day would have me maybe lose a pound a week. But what about if I exercise AND eat those calories back? Would I lose a little bit more or the same?

It wouldn't be me that's overestimating, it would be my treadmill who tells me how many I burned lol. And to The Virgoddess, I said it was one mile at 5mph, not 5 miles.

Also, I set my goal for 1 lb a week and only recently changed it to two, and it still gave me 1200 cals. It wasn't because of setting too high of a goal (although I have set it quite high, but only recently). When I had it set at one lb it said 1200.

I said one mile at 5 mph lol, not 5 miles. I would burn way more than 190. Haha, I'm not that slow! And no I really don't expect to look like that whatsoever but that phrase has kept me from giving up and I love it. c:

And also my activity levels are very low because I don't have a job because I am going to college almost all the time.

Yes I set it as 2 lbs per week because I have an event in three months that I really want to be slimmed down at least halfway for. I'm 150 and my long term weight loss goal (not the goal for the event) is 120. I'm 19 years old and 5'1", which may be why I don't need to many calories.

Okay thanks lol, I was just wondering.

I don't think you're doomed!! I love pizza too, and I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me for whenever I wanted pizza.
