Original Post by freshbakedpi: No, it means the net intake is minus 600 or 700 - that is, eating ~1200 calories and burning ~1800 calories (1550 by just existing, the extra 250 through exercise). Over the week that's going to be a 3600-4200 calorie deficit, assuming no deficit on the 7th day, which means the loss of about a pound per week (1 pound = 3500 calories). If your net intake is over zero you will gain weight. |

If you've been maintaining that calorie deficit then there is zero chance you've not been losing fat - it's just not possible. You could be losing at a lower rate, for sure, but you've probably also been gaining muscle weight. If I were you I'd start clocking waist/thigh/arm measurements and body fat percentages and not worry about what the scale says. Your deficit sounds fine, perhaps a little higher than necessary but not unhealthily so. Don't worry too much - you sound like you're doing really well. |

Original Post by celtic_rose: From the PoV of someone who is never going to be healthy regardless of diet and exercise -- lots of things. :p Friends, family, happiness, having fun, letting go every once in a while.... You're getting healthy and enjoying it and that's fantastic. What other people choose to do with their own lives really shouldn't concern you enough to make you rant about it. |

LOL. Can't imagine he ate much for his 1400 cals a day though. He must have been starving! |

Original Post by queenmedia: queenmedia I've got similar stats to yours - 26 y/o, 5'3", 106 pounds but with 26% body fat too. My goal is to get it down to at most 20% eventually. It might take me a bit longer than everyone else here since I haven't done proper exercise in forever, but I'm in! |

It sounds like you're already burning lots of calories. If by 'the calories suggested' you mean the burn meter at 'my home', that'll be set at the calories you're already burning, not the amount you need to burn. E.g. I have mine set to sedentary - 1520 cals - and when I do exercise I add those in on top of it. If your eat meter is 500 cals less than your burn meter every day then you'll lose 1lb a week. |
