Don't worry so much about the numbers....you know you're not losing
now...so, either eat less, exercise more, or do some combination of both.
By tracking, you have a baseline...so if you increase exercise by 50%, even
if you don't know the exact calorie burn, you do know it helps to create a
greater calorie deficit. So, just work on that basis....
