so I was talking to a friend who said when I was eating 1200 it was too low (and I knew this not sure why I did it) and then I adjusted my cals for being 'lightly active' which had me eating 1700 a day.
their definition of 'lightly active' is working out 1-3 times per week. I work out 6 days a week for 30-45 mins now. BUT...the rest of my day I"m sedentary so she said I might be better off puttin sedentary into the calculator, that that is what she did and she's in the same spot as me. That gives me 1400 cals to work with. So....I'm going to try that for this week and see if I don't lose.
wish me luck.
