I filled out the information on Food Focus (height 5'9", weight 211lbs, etc) along with when I would like to reach my goal (within 1 year, if possible) and according to the website my goal, calorie wise, is 1682 - that's without any kind of exercise, mind you. Does that seem a little high to anyone? Not that I am an expert by any means, but my husband said that he calculated and I should be eating around 1350 calories per day (before exercise) - he's not an expert, either. I prefer the 1682, don't get me wrong, I love to eat ( :sigh: ), but I don't want to sabotage myself from the start.
Also, when I put in my walks with my dog I just said that I was going 2mph as he is a very small dog (toy breed) and he likes to stop and sniff everything (he's still a puppy, so everything is new/interesting/exciting)- but it tells me that for 30 minutes a day I am burning 74 calories. That sounds a bit on the high side, too. Again, just making sure, I don't want to eat thoese 74 calories only to find out that I have only been burning 24 of them or some such.
So far so good, though it's only been 24 hours.
