70% of the calories you burn, give or take depending on your NEAT(non-exercise activated thermogenesis), are burnt at rest. This is one reason muscle mass is so important and effective at lowering your body fat percentage and keeping it lower. The more you have, the higher your metabolic rate. Also, the more muscle you have, the stronger you are so when you do lift weights, you burn more calories. Lifting 50 pounds for 10 reps(500 pounds) requires much less energy(calories) than lifting 200 pounds for 10 reps(2,000 pounds). Staying active through the day is also very beneficial for burning calories, even more so than planned exercise that is only 4% of your day(1 hour).
Just do this on your exercise entry. Enter 8 hours of standing vs. 8 hours of resting. Huge difference, right? For me, at ~186 pounds it shows 710 calories for resting and 1420 calories for standing. That is double the calories(and the equivalent of a 1/2 pound cheeseburger ;) ). I keep seeing people suffering through very low amounts of calories. Just move a little more so you can eat more and not feel as deprived. You may be setting yourself up for a binge. It will be easier to get some good nutrition and protein when you can eat more as well.

Lol, FS needs to fix that. Yes, making a conscious effort to move a little more works like a charm.

You're welcome, Erika and Carol! There is a reason children seem to be bottomless pits. Their NEAT is usually astronomical until they reach the age where they get their own cell phones...

I love this, It's why I have been losing more weight than I supposed to, because I have been pretty active lately. Working outside with my rake and wheelbarrow. I googled about it yesterday, it says that raking is considered a great whole body exercise

What about 50lb lifted for 5 sets of 10 reps? You don't have to always lift heavy. I personally mix it every month: I do 3 weeks low weight very high reps in 4 sets of decreasing load (volume period), 3 weeks of medium weight and medium reps in five sets of equal load (classic period) and 3 weeks very high weight (90+ 1RMax) and low reps in 6 sets of increasing load (intensity period); each period separated from the other by a week of active rest (yoga, swimming, hiking, 3 day shoulders/arms/back workout, etc.)

I never said you had to lift heavy. Total volume is also important. Also if you did that you'd be lifting 2500 pounds total so even more energy would be required.
