Wow 12lbs in a month

Brunty554

Hi
I just wanted to share that I have lost 12lbs in January. I have finally found something that I enjoy and I can stick to. I still have eaten chocolate and everything else I want to and I don't feel deprived at all

I am 17st 2 now so a long way to go to my target of 13st however I am on my way.

I was using tdee and couldn't really decide what my calories should be and checking MFP for the last two weeks I have averaged 1700 so I will stick with that and see how I get on

I am well on the way as I have 219 days to my wedding and I don't want to be a really fat bride

Amazing job!
I started off a bit heavier than you in January and managed to get 10.8lbs off!
Hope February is just as amazing!

keep on going
don't forget to recalculate your max calories
the more u loose the less energy u need.

Great job! Keep up the good work. I'm always encouraged when someone posts that they followed their TDEE and lost weight rather than the 1200 calories suggested. I followed the 1200 calories for the first month and loss 5 lbs. Now adjusted to TDEE and eager to see how it works out.

Pardon me for being lame but what's a TDEE?

Here's a great thread on TDEE. It also includes a link for you to calculate your personal numbers. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone. I agree with a previous reply about eating at tdee rather than the 1200 cals MFP suggested for me

I tried this last year and after two weeks had enough as I was very hungry and couldn't stick to it. This felt very much like a diet but what I am. DNA now seems feasible and life long so here is to the next part of our journeys

Good luck everyone and feel free to add me to share our stories

Good work!

Cannot agree more on TDEE. I struggled going low on calories and actually stopped losing weight until I made some serious adjustments.
