[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eat less.  A lot less.  That is how I’m losing weight.

-5’3, 195 (was 205 6 weeks ago)[/quote]

OP here. I was [b]essentially[/b] eating one meal a day, and that meal was very light and lean. I could not eat less without going to a complete liquid diet.[/quote]

What does "essentially" mean?

On the initial plan you were losing a lb a week. That's loss. I'm sorry you felt discouraged by the pace, but if you had stuck with that, you'd still be losing. At your weight and age I'm guessing you have a very high percentage of body fat, and as a result your TDEE is probably much lower than it had been in your younger years. [/quote]

DP. The TDEE calculator is about 1000 calories off for me. Just like the calculators that My Fitness Pal and FitBit are. They say based on my height, weight, age, gender, activity level…. I can eat nearly 3,000 calories.  [/quote]

1) you don’t mention body fat percentage which wildly skews the results for most overweight people; whatever the default imputed body fat percentage is, it leads to inaccurate results; 2) sounds like the assumption the calculator is making about calorie burn for the activity level you’re checking isn’t consistent with your actual burn.
