    Kimmy72 - Thank you SO much. This has really simplified it for me. I have made a note in my diary for in 4 weeks time of exactly those points and how I can adjust depending on the result of the scales! :D

    Thanks for your help..

    I am questioning the reliability of these online calculators - so far, after entering the same details and activity levels into each calculator, I have come up with the following results of what I should be consuming to lose weight (all from different sites!)

    1775
    1550
    1500
    1642
    1627
    1598
    1845 (!)
    1549
    1679

    It's no wonder i'm confused! Ha..
    The difference in theoretical weight loss between these numbers is the difference between losing 0.5 lbs per week and losing 1.19 lbs per week. It really isn't that big of a spread. Just pick one. Stick with it for 6 weeks, see how much you lose. If you stay the same... like I said... CONGRATULATIONS! You've found maintenance for your current regimen. Cut 100 cals per week until you start losing. Then stay there until you reach your goal (or stall for a couple months).
