Thanks Ilene! That is very interesting.

We just need to keep eating less calories then the Basal says then. Am I correct in thinking that way? My Basal is 1630. I try to stay at 1600 or below. This is good right?

Right. I have been warned about the calculators a few times. I never payed much attention to the basal numbers or anything till today really lol.

I haven't really lost any weight (that I documented anyway) yet. But I am hoping tomorrows weigh in goes better. If not, I think I am going to try to cut more calories or something. I did a lot of working out until I had a problem in my house last week. I didn't get lazy, I just got busy fixing my house and stuff since then. But I am still hoping for some good results tomorrow.
