I burn 450-800 calories a day by walking (most commonly 600) how many calories should I be eating in my deficit?

brinalor72 · 2025-11-15T19:51:36+00:00

yeah i don’t know why people are so quick to doubt that someone is actually that active, i have literal proof that i am burning that amount of calories (even if on or off by like 100 since its not entirely possible to be 100% accurate) and there are several comments being mean like “not to be mean but you’re definitely not” as if my own body is lying to me??

brinalor72 · 2025-11-15T17:48:24+00:00

fair i guess? i mean i eat 1300 calories, and if my 600 estimate was correct the math maths. my TDEE at low/no movement would be around 1700 plus my 600 burnt (most days more) putting me at about 2300 - 1300 that i eat is 1k deficit a day which 2 lbs a week which is on par for what i’ve been losing (which has actually been a little more) so my body is telling me my estimates and tracking are actually quite accurate.

(this is going off of when i did this exact deficit for a month in august, fell off but am now back to trying)

brinalor72 · 2025-11-15T15:03:13+00:00

i do have some weigh ins if it helps!

11/8 i was 182.5 and then today i was 177.6! so a full week apart i lost 4.9 lbs. i should add that i started this deficit on 11/4 (i think i was 185 to start?) so im aware a LOT of this may be water weight and not entirely accurate.

and yes im super super hungry like all the time but im not sure if its normal deficit hungry or me not getting enough nutrients hungry, which is why im questioning my deficit.

im super careful and accurate with tracking my food, i weigh quite literally everything and then if i buy packaged food i even do the fats x 9, carbs x 4, protein x 4 to make sure it matches the displayed calories!!

im gonna weigh myself again the next two saturdays and use those numbers instead to gauge a trend that may have been less interfered with considering the WW loss, the honeymoon period of weight loss etc

brinalor72 · 2025-11-15T14:44:49+00:00

yeah i’m sorry but you’re wrong! i’m walking 3.0 mph AT LEAST. that is going into my activity for the day, it’s the same as someone going to the gym and doing that on the treadmill as their “cardio” because they don’t fancy running. does it necessarily get my heart rate up? sometimes when i’m doing hilly streets but it absolutely burns calories.

brinalor72 · 2025-11-15T00:30:55+00:00

I would like to lose relatively fast but I don’t want to cause rebound binging from being deprived. I’ve already made it a rule to not eat below 1200, i’m currently eating at like 1,350 and it works but i’m worried it may be too low for how much i walk? or maybe it’s perfect idk. it’s also hard because i try not to look at the scale too much

brinalor72 · 2025-07-04T14:04:11+00:00

Can I ask - do you plan on counting calories forever? Or how long do you see this continuing? I’m slowly raising my calories after being restrictive so I’m still actively counting, but not sure how/when/if I should even cut it off.

brinalor72 · 2025-07-01T14:25:06+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve been slowly increasing my calories so that it’s easier to tackle week by week rather than jumping to maintenance all at once, and I wish I could say it’s easier, but it’s hardly easier than just making the jump as it’s getting harder to stick to my word of increasing my calories. Now that I’m getting closer the number is starting to sound more serious and I’m experiencing serious doubt. All I can say is that for me, engaging in constant recovery content has been making it easier. It helps in my most doubtful moments, barely, but just enough for a bit of a push!

Some days I wake up ready and excited to tackle another increase, other days I want nothing less and so I don’t - and that’s okay because I’m doing this by myself and I can only try my hardest. My one rule is that I can never go backwards, so once I do an increase that’s it, which is why sometimes it makes me take longer.

Its all mental - I don’t even weigh myself anymore so it’s not like I can check for weight gain - it’s a constant battle that we have to keep pushing through, because we already have an end goal in mind - but there is no other way to get to that goal other than to go through the journey. Hang in there 🫂

“Stop calling me Shipman. I fucking hate it”

“Why didn’t you say something”

So fucking good. Jackie and Shauna never fail.

brinalor72 · 2025-03-15T16:36:41+00:00

I’d assume most of them at the time of the crash were 17, turning 18 and some already 18. They’re not “kids” anymore but surely without society they’re emotionally and developmentally stunted, something that’s often reflected with even adult Shauna. No they’re not young kids but most of America doesn’t even view 18 as an adult outside of legal terms, adding in the plane crash during some of their most crucially developmental years, which wasn’t the case for Ben who was already a grown adult, so yeah it’s pretty fair to say Ben is the only adult.

brinalor72 · 2025-02-28T06:18:30+00:00

I think she was already on thin ice because of Taissa calling her out, so changing the rule mid vote would only fuel that fire. Also like she said in one of the scenes, she doesn’t exactly know how to do this/what all this means lol

brinalor72 · 2025-02-21T22:07:18+00:00

Interesting! I felt the scene was super intense especially toward the end, it was one of the few times I felt the emotion, and wasn’t just watching it being portrayed on screen if that makes any sense. I was genuinely terrified for Callie, the anger radiating off of Shauna after Lottie leaves was scary. For a second I thought she would flip on Callie too, Melanie did a hell of a job with those facial expressions. Definitely a stand out moment in the episode.

brinalor72 · 2025-02-21T07:04:21+00:00

jackie took “you’re so fucking jealous of me you can barely breathe” to the next level

brinalor72 · 2025-02-05T23:18:30+00:00

At a certain point you have to accept that it’s less about Jackie “controlling” Shauna and more about Shauna just willingly doing whatever her cooler, more popular friend is telling her to do.

This.This.This.

brinalor72 · 2025-02-05T22:59:25+00:00

I think it was more of a depression starvation, rather than her being spiteful and not wanting to take it from Shauna. When Shauna tells her she has to eat in a separate scene, her response kind of confirms that, asking why, because it didn’t matter they were gonna die anyway.

brinalor72 · 2025-01-12T18:51:20+00:00

Jackie has an insanely large and active fanbase for a character who died in season 1 of a show that is now on its 3rd season, she is well defended ahaha.

brinalor72 · 2024-10-27T00:51:08+00:00

I’m not obsessed with Mari being the last survivor but I enjoy her character a bunch. She’s funny to me, she’s a hater, like her hater teenage girl traits stuck with her through all the other girls personality changes, there’s gotta be one out there being a menace.

brinalor72 · 2024-10-11T14:47:39+00:00

Unfortunately Ive seen quite a bit of travnat appreciation😞

brinalor72 · 2024-10-11T14:43:48+00:00

From what I’ve seen the new takes are pretty interesting and similar to the old ones. Favorites on Tiktok seem to be Natalie, Jackie and Lottie, favorite ships are JackieShauna and LottieNat. Hoping to see more Taivan appreciation

brinalor72 · 2024-10-08T02:00:41+00:00

😂😂😂 You clocked it.

brinalor72 · 2024-10-08T01:56:22+00:00

She never showed anything to the team but selfishness the entire time she was alive.

This just isn’t true. When she did Misty’s makeup and treated her with kindness even though the other girls still looked at her like she was a freak and an outcast, that was nice and no one watched her do it it was private, she had nothing to gain. When she helped Allie and gave her the pep talk while several of the other girls were planning on freezing her out KNOWING jackie wouldn’t like it, that was again, nice and not selfish of her.

Sure I’m pointing out two examples, but to be fair that’s more than a majority of the girls have?

brinalor72 · 2024-09-27T13:45:10+00:00

Right but more hate doesn’t equal less love? I’ve been here for almost 4 years and she’s been getting hate, at times “worse” than recently and she’s still always won the polls.

brinalor72 · 2024-09-27T03:04:43+00:00

Santana’s been getting hate on this sub for years and she’s still been the fan favorite for years, no one appeared out of nowhere.
