So then either run a new model where you increase activity halfway through, or accept that you're going to have to redo your charts when you become more active.[/quote]
I would like to add some exercise in the future, but if I can't fit it in now how will I fit it in later? I did make the reward for my 3rd goal to be joining an exercise class (I can't really afford it financially but I need stuff to motivate me so I will have to find a way... maybe if I can get my son potty trained I can use the nappy moneh!)
I do plan to drop calories as my tdee drops, but I don't know if I can trust myself eating less and less. By my last goal I'll be on 1100kcal a day which sounds a bit scary. Like these are all vague plans. What *really* happens is the fear isn't it? I want to have wiggle room once it gets hard.1 -

67kg and 167cm still aiming for 0.5kg a week.
My 11 goals are:
113kg (already got that one yay!) (1600kcal)
107kg (1600kcal)
102kg (1500kcal)
97kg (1500kcal)
92kg (1400kcal)
87kg (1300kcal)
83kg (1300kcal)
79kg (1300kcal)
71kg (1200kcal)
67kg (1100kcal)
I don't want to stop losing at 67kg (although it's the final goal) because it's still at the top of the normal BMI and I want to have some buffer zone to prevent me going over it again once I get there.

but you wont want to lose at the same rate of loss the whole time?3 -

Then don't add it in?
It's either add it in, or don't. So why on earth are you worrying that it's not reflecting added exercise if you don't even think that you're going to add it in?
You're making this far more difficult than it needs to be. And that's coming from someone who has about 10 different Excel files related to real-life data related to weight, intake, expenditure, and medication levels.3 -

But that's why I want to lose faster now. If I am losing like 0.1kg every 2 months or something by then I need to lose really fast now to make up for it.

I don't add it in. I always assume permanently being sedentary. I would even if I was exercising because imo exercise calories are a bonus and shouldn't be assumed or relied on.5 -

adequately fuelling workouts is not a bad thing...9 -

Sure if you're thin, but obviously I have a massive excess of calories and will do for the next 2 years AT LEAST so I don't need to worry about providing exogenous calories.8 -

I weigh only a little less than you do now, and I would not be able to fuel my exercise without eating back my calories, being thin has nothing to do with it.7 -

yet again, you start with questions and then pooh pooh any sort of answers that don't agree with what you think you know.
good luck with your journey.11 -

The original question was answered ages ago then the thread moved on to totally different topics.
But it does feel like everyone gangs up on me a bit just because I have a different opinion. I don't see why I have to agree with everything people say, does it matter if I don't think I need calories from outside if I have plenty inside? Why do any of you care? You do you, I'll do me, it's fine. It didn't even have anything to do with the original question...7
