Well done great work
I lost 57lbs in 8 months but got a knee injury regained 42lbs and came here and relost 22lbs so far Can I ask what you eat calorie wise Below BMR Above BMR -15-20% TDEE Net calories? Exercise calories ? My loss is slow at 1200 calorie goal net was averaging 620 calories a day so with research & help I've upped it to eating 1350 Net calories a day Wondered what you did? Thanx

Thanx My doctor has me on 1200 calories. I actually will eat anywhere between 1200 and 1300, when I hit a Plateau I will go down 1000, up 1400, back to 1200 and keep it between 1200/1300 Some day's I have a hard time reaching 1200 just because I'm not that hungry. I do not nor will I eat back my workout calories, if I do go over then hey, I'm not bothered by it. I was told by my doctor to not eat them back and I thought for sure he was crazy but when I do eat them back I notice that it does not work for me. When I'm not in a plateau I lose between 1 and 3lbs a week. It depends on what I am doing, this week I lost 3lbs because I've been on my feet and very active. I also do not eat past 8pm, this week though I've eaten my last meal at 4:30pm because of work.

I honestly don't understand the difference between goal calories and net calories, I just aim for 1200-1300 calories a day, no more then that though.
