2nd January .... 17st 7lbs
9th January .... 16st 13lbs
16th January .... 16st 7lbs
I love the start of a diet when the weight loss is rapid - it's so motivating. Hope I can stay positive when it all slows right down.3 -
Oh can I join in with weigh in Wednesdays too please?1

So disappointed this week. I'm eating close to my calories (under) and not eating back my exercise calories which are few anyway. I can't get out of the house today to do any exercise so tomorrow will not be looking good either.
weight loss isn't linear, you wont always see a loss, which is totally normal.
if you are following MFP numbers you really should be eating at least a proportion of exercise cals. you don't want to under eat - it may seem ok at first when the scale drop, but can cause you serious health problems if you do it long term. Plus a too large deficit can cause stress to the body, and when your body is stressed it retains water so the scale stops moving...
Thank you. I only had 136 exercise calories yesterday and I'm only on 1200 calories a day, so I wouldn't have reached a 500 deficit if I'd eaten all of them plus the exercise calories. It takes me a lot of exercise before I'm anywhere near a 500 calorie deficit - I've never reached that since I started. My tdee is only 1430.
Edited:
If you're 11st 8 then your TDEE is not 1430, I think you're confusing it with BMR?
I wish I was confusing it with BMR
These are the results I get
Based on your stats, the best estimate for your maintenance calories is
1,430 calories per day based on the Mifflin-St Jeor Formula, which is widely known to be the most accurate. The table below shows the difference if you were to have selected a different activity level.
Basal Metabolic Rate 1,191 calories per day
Sedentary 1,430 calories per day
i cant find a single calculator that gives that TDEE for that weight? can you link to the calculator you used?0 -

I can assure you that using my current weight of 162lbs, at my age and height, the figures I have given are correct.
I have set a target of 126lbs, but if I ever get to 120lbs I'll get a TDEE of 1201, so it looks as though I'll never be able to eat above 1200 calories (plus exercise calories) which is why my progress is likely to be really slow.0 -

No change at all - yesterday's weight as I am not at home for a few days. I'm being very careful as I don't have a food scale here (I am at my son's house) so it will be interesting to see what I weigh when I go home. I am doing the cooking here so that will help.0 -

No weight gained which is the main thing. Stay with it and I'm sure you will see results in time. Hope you have a lovely time with your son. I have a weekend away and afternoon tea this week!0
