I do this quite a lot if I don't find what I am looking for then I will post

:huh: Good for you? Come on... no need to be a douche.

WAY TO GO, OP! You are doing fantastic!

I think you sound like you have a plan that is working for you. It's just my unprofessional opinion but I think you are doing fantastic. If you begin to feel weak or constant hunger or your weight loss stalls, then please do increase your calories. As far as exercise, just start slow. If nothing else, just walk up and down your hallway. Best of luck to you.

According to http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ your BMR is 3061, At your weight you can afford to go under this but definitely NOT by as much as you have been doing. 2755 cals a day would give you a 25% TDEE cut and should be sufficient to see a very steady weight loss whilst also giving your body enough nutrition to function.
It's not a race, it's not biggest loser. This has to be sustainable long term.

I'm using MFP set at the 2lbs loss a week mark and sedentary for my activity level, then use my FitBit.com pedometer to track my walking. FitBit is set to add calories back which you can use, and you burned them off to eat.

9 months in (almost) and I did 11.7 mile walk on Wednesday (best day yet).

I started at 24 st 1 lbs 15 oz (337 lbs 15 oz, 153.3kg) & I've lost mainly through a lot of walking 5 st 1 lbs 6 oz (71 lbs 6 oz, 32.4kg 21.14%) as of today.

Feel free to add me too.

Hi all. I began my journey on 1/1/13, and I weighed 420.2 pounds.

Here are my current stats-

Male
29 years old.
6'3"
359.6 pounds

Myfitnesspal suggests that I eat 2,370 calories a day, but I've only been eating 1,400 calories a day since I began. I eat lot of the same stuff everyday, but I assure that I feel satisfied. I eat clean, and I only have food on my menu that I like to eat makes me full. My diary is open I currently do not exercise. It feels great to have lost 61 pounds in less than three months. Of course I know this won't be constant.

I would like to keep doing what I'm doing until I get down to about 275-300 pounds. Then I'm going to begin execising, and re-evaluate what I eat. I would like to get down to 220 pounds. (I don't know if this is realistic, as I have not consulted a doctor.)

Basically, I'm wondering if you all think this is a good idea? I find the posters here to be very informative, so I'm open to hearing any and all thoughts/idea/opinions on what I've done so far, and what I should consider doing in the future.

You sound a lot like me, even your stats are similar to me (6'2.5, 28 years old, lost 61lbs exactly in my first 12 weeks, goal weight of 230lbs). I don't really have any advice for you but can tell you some of what has worked for me.

For one, eating less hasn't equated to losing more for me. One week I aimed to increase my net calories by about 300/day and lost 3lbs more than I did the week previous. I currently aim to net around 1800-2000/day, but last week averaged around 2200 and had my best weekly weigh-in in five weeks. MyFitnessPal suggests that I net 2600 cals/day for a 2lb/week loss.

I started walking a couple of weeks into my calorie-counting, but it was hard on my knees so I stopped after only a few times. I went without exercise for a while, but started swimming about 10 weeks in. It's easy on my joints and a really good calorie burn at the same time. I averaged a loss of 4.2lbs/week before swimming (not counting my first week) and am averaging 4lbs/week since.

My diet hasn't been very clean, but still infinitely better than what it was before. I don't eat fast food anymore but a lot of what I buy is processed. I've added a lot of vegetables to the mix too.
