This is a friendly warning to everyone who tracks their activities on FatSecret.
Your BMR (the amount of calories you burn from just sleeping and resting) appears to be high on FatSecret and so does the amount of calories burned through certain activities, namely "desk work" and "sitting." I used to think FatSecret's numbers were accurate, but then I checked a different website that bases their computations on well-known, valid formulas (FatSecret does not say how they compute their numbers) and found that FatSecret says I'm burning almost 600 calories more a day than the other website, which includes a BMR that is 300 calories higher. If you want to get a second opinion on your BMR and TDEE (how many calories you burn a day with activities), you should go to this website: http://iifym.com/ (go to the "calculators" tab). This website seems to be very accurate. Every website gives slightly different numbers, but FatSecret's numbers seem to be much higher than the others. If you would like to continue to track your burned calories on FatSecret, which I plan on doing, to get a more accurate TDEE only enter in substantial activities and exercise, not "sitting" or "desk work." I hope this information is helpful.

At 1800 cals in and a deficit of 900 I maintain, just like at 1900 cals in and a deficit of 700. So as long as I eat less than 1900 cals, I know I can maintain my weight. I'm not sure if I should try lowering my cals to 1700 to try to jump-start my weight loss. It would be really hard to do and I'm already at a significant deficit. Instead, I think I need to do some formal exercise - strength training - to increase my metabolism. It sucks having a slow metabolism! I think I'll start with 10-Minute Trainer, to get back in the exercise groove, then follow that with ChaLean Extreme, which I was doing before. I really like ChaLean, but it's a tough program, so I want to work my way to it, so that I don't get overwhelmed by the sudden, significant increase in exercise. Any other tips for weight loss, for someone with a slow metabolism, will be appreciated! Good luck to everyone this week! Enjoy your weekend and stay on plan. If you splurge, try to still stay within your RDI. Have a good one! :)

I'm happy about maintaining, considering that I've gained slightly the past couple of weigh-ins. I ate about 100 calories a day less than I had been. Maybe this is a good amount for maintenance, based on my weight and activity level. I'll try to reduce it a little more if I can to see if it triggers weight loss. Otherwise, I'm grateful for how far I've come!!

I have no explanation for this gain, except that I went 3% over my RDI one day. I've been eating and active the same as when I was 163.4, so who knows why I'm 4 lbs heavier. Maybe the lower weight before was a fluke, because I was maintaining at 166-168 for months. Maybe this is the weight I'm supposed to be. I really don't want to eat less, and I don't think it will help either. I think this is the weight and size my body wants to be. All I can do to improve things is to be more active and workout more. I've been really sedentary the past couple of weeks, and I really should take up an exercise program again. I just haven't been interested in exercising. I'm sure I will get my motivation back eventually. I'd be fine with my weight (I'm 5'7") if I didn't have a big, saggy stomach in front. The rest of me is fine. I'm not sure why I'm carrying all of this weight at my middle. But I'm now using a natural product that I hope will help get rid of some of it. We'll see. Good luck everyone. Don't give up. I don't plan to.

Gaining 0.7 kg a Week
29 March 2014
Kinda happy about maintaining, because I'm at the low-end of my maintenance weight from before. I worked out one day last week - weightlifting on Monday. I was busy with computer work, so I was pretty sedentary the rest of the week. Got interested in starting a new business, which is exciting! But I still need to get my walks in, because I don't feel great right now. Walking rejuvenates me. Onward and upward! I hope everyone else is doing good on the weight loss front. Have a great weekend!
