Hi All,
Just joined Team UK yesterday after reading a post in the forums that mentioned it.
I am 5'10" and was 238 lbs when I started here about 80 days ago and am currently (as of last Sunday) just under 208 lbs. I used the MFP guidelines to start with and lost really heavy at the beginning but I have not reset my MFP calories lower as I lost weight and now lose about 1.5 to 2 lbs per week (set for 1.5 lbs) so I eat around 1600 calories per day, although I have now changed my carb, protein, fat ratio to 45/25/30 which fits my eating habits better than the low protein that MFP sets
Hope everyone had a great Halloween yesterday and is ready for the Christmas rush hitting the shops today :happy:
