I have been doing WW since Sept 2010 and I lost 25lbs. Last year I hit a very long plateau but I lost 5lbs in Jan of this year but since then I've plateaued again. So I've decided to give calorie counting a go to see if that will help break the plateau.
I have done a lot of research on it but I have a few questions that I'm unsure of.
1) What site do people use? Calorie counter or my fitness pal.
2) Do people consume their exercise calories? This is my biggest concern when it comes to how many calories to eat. I estimate I should be consuming between 1200 and 1300 calories to lose weight at a sedentary lifestyle. I'm worried that I'm not eating enough so should I eat more?
I am 5ft5, 22 years old, female, 166.5lbs. I would like to get to 140lbs but for now I'm focusing on 150lbs. I have a few of Davina's exercise DVDs so I do them five times a weeks and roughly you burn between 300-400 calories with each workout.
Myfitness pal says that my nutritional goal is 1200 calories and my exercise goal 730 calories so do I need to consume that 730?
