Question??

Just about everyone says you need to eat more to stay out of the starvation mode, to lose weight.

How many calories are you eating on a average to to this?

I am still strugling with stalls. I am eating about 700 cals a day and 6 weeks out . Most days I excerise and burn around 200 cals.

I'm 3 weeks out and I'm getting 300 calories a day if I'm lucky. I'm losing about a pound a day.

everyone's bodies are different. i say track your calories and see what works best for you for a while. that is what i had to do.

i do best around 1000-1200 on the days i exercise for an hour. on the days i don't i go between 700-900. that is when i get the best loss. it is getting harder and harder to lose tho the smaller i get. i have not lost anything for 2 weeks now!! :angry: and it is sure not for lack of trying! SIGH!

Wow 104 lbs lost thats amazing!

I stay between 600-800 a day. When I exercise the interval between losses is shorter but it comes off anyway in the end. I track protein, carbs, calories, and water.

I am terribly confused and frustrated with the whole calorie thing. I bounce between 1500-1000(1500 on exercise days)calories a day on maintenance . I got myself one of those body buggs like Biggest Loser. It measures how many steps and how many calories I burn a day and it factors in age height and weight. According to it after wearing it a week I burn on the average 2300 calories a day! I know that if I were to eat 2300 a day I'd gain! The numbers don't make sense. Oddly enough last year before my sleeve exercising just a bit less then I am now it calculated my daily expenditure was 2400.
