Hello This is my first post here. You all are doing great, it is so inspiring!

I have a question...I have gone to several different websites to get my metabolic rate, but I get different numbers. Fitday says I burn over 2700 calories a day and other sources say around 2400 calories a day. I have been using the lower number just to be safe. Has anyone else had this experience?

Oh yes, we have Violet! Those calculators are notoriously off. You're smartest to try the lower one first. It'll be a nicer surprise if it's off a bit. It's just plain nasty to lead women to believe they use thousands of calories and then see them disappointed and quitting because calorie counting doesn't work. It does work but the most accurate numbers take a while to find.

Thanks

I think I will stay with the lower number like you suggested. 2700 calories just sounded so nice, LOL.

Today's calorie deficit was 1400 calories

Violet - what a great job! I shoot for around 1500 and was at 1600 today, so I am doing well. I walked on my treadmill every day this week, so I hope to see a loss on Monday! Only blew my calories horribly once this week.

Meigg....you are doing so well, I bet you have a good loss when you WI.

I am trying to stay under 1400 calories but blew it a couple days last week, will try and do better this week. It seems to be a calm week ahead with no dinners out planned (yet)!

Finally am figuring out FitDay.....took awhile!!!

One of the best things about fitday is that you can get averages. I had one day this week at 3200 calories eaten! No deficit that day!

Phillis - I love fitday! I eat alot of the same foods so now it is so fast. I downloaded the PC version and really like it. All my custom foods are my frozen dinners that I eat for lunch every day, and it is such a time saver now.

Today I am on track. Ate my standard breakfast, walked on my treadmill, and now off to work. We are eating in tonight, so hopefully I can stay in my range again today!

Meigg, you are doing great I have a tough time making myself exercise- you did really good to exercise every day this week.

Phyllis, You are right, eating out can be so difficult when trying to keep the calories in check. At least some restaurants are offering lower calorie options now (besides grilled chicken and salad that is, lol).

Susan, I had one of those 3000 calorie days this week too. It is amazing how quickly the calories can pile up sometimes!

Today I did pretty good, I have a 1370 calorie deficit. I dropped my calories a bit lower (to 1200) to try to make up for a "bad" day I had a couple days ago.
I also got in about 20 minutes of pilates- which is good for me..I am BAD about the exercise.

Thanks Violet! I am really trying today. I even brought out my scale to measure 4 ounces of meat loaf. I cut a slice and put it on the scale and it was over 7!!! It really amazed me. Here I thought I was good at eyeballing portions. This is why I am best when I eat simple foods that I know the calories of, and frozen dinners.

I am really hoping for a loss tomorrow!
