You're doing great explaining. Thank you for being patient...

Here's where you and I differ.
Age: 27
starting weight: 133
Height: 5 "1".
Life Style: Right now I'm on vacation from school; no job so I usually sit around researching on the comp, hanging out with friends or studying for the upcoming semester & I cook, clean, laundry, and grocery shop, but not every day. I don't have any kids; it's just moi.

When I put in the info I selected mostly seated with some movement at first but then I thought the numbers I got was extremely high...but then I didn't think I fit in the category of seated all day either because I don't usually sit in one place all day you know? (there are some factors of which BMR equation method I select that makes my BMR differ from 1279:mifflin-1397:harris- these are right above the life style selection section; which one did you go with? I'm choosing the ).

I usually exercise 5 days a week and burn approx 300 calories which according to Fit Day puts my total at like 2400 so then I can subtract the deficit to get an approx weekly weight loss? if i add sleep then it put me at 2000 (with exercise) and a little bit over...If this sounds like I'm headed in the right direction then I can play with these numbers and monitor my progress.

Thanks again for your help!
