[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand what your problem is? Someone suggested that at 2300 calories a day, OP must be a tall and husky man. I am sinply pointing out that she is within range for a very active woman.

If you want to know YOURS, check a calculator to see where you fall within the range.

As for posting "random meaningless thing" from the internet, you will not find a different answer anywhere because this range is well known and studied.

But there will always be a range because there is no on size fits all. So check a calculator and stop being...whatever it is you're being. Like, argumentative for no discernible reason?[/quote]

You found some random post to support that OP’s caloric maintenance level is 2300 per day. When the reality is that her maintenance is not likely to 2300 per day based on what’s she’s posted.[/quote]

You are just making stuff up now. She wasn't losing weight at 1800 a day, or at least she thinks. But that is just a 500 calorie deficit a day which means it is just slower weight loss. She is looking at ounces a day, which says a lot about her unhappiness with the speed.

And again, it is not a random internet source...it is the standard calorie range. You can't refute that.

I am 48 years old, 5 foot 2 and my maintenance is 2100-2200 calories a day. I weigh 150 which I am sure you think is grossly fat but I am happy and fit and my weight has held steady.[/quote]

If she was not losing at 1800 calories, her maintenance was not 2300. That’s my point. You posting was posting some random internet thing does not tell us about OP’s maintenance which cannot be 2300. OP said she was not losing weight- you are now speculating that she was losing weight but at too low of a rate to notice.

I have never posted anything negative about someone’s weight in the many years I have posted. I’m not sure how you get that. I do think these boards are full of people who overestimate caloric output (like you and OP) and under estimate caloric input. I do point that out.[/quote]
