    I do own some flat converses; I don't wear 'em nowadays but I guess I can take them out of the closet now lol. They are the same as the one Mehdi used in his videos (All Star).
    I changed my goal from 2lb loss per week to 1.5 loss (although according to your method I should hope for 1.7lb/week) and set up my goals accordingly in MFP (checked, it does have me as male ;) ) and my new calorie goal is 1450cal a day (in MFP).
    Here's how i set it up

    I know that food is only fuel but I think that when I see 1800cal it's more of a mental block. 1800cal is what i was eating when overweight and gaining so it's a bit hard to get it in my mind that it can help me lose weight even though I know that the problem then was probably not the amount of calories but more like the quality of the food I was eating (a.k.a Junk food).

    Again, thank you all for your answers, definitely going to bookmark this thread ♥

    This is just mis-information. It doesn't matter where your calories are coming from for weight loss/gain. And if you really were gaining on 1800 calories, then something is wrong with your metabolism. Your BMR should be over 1800 (So if you were in a comma, your body would burn 1800 calories) I'm guessing it's much more likely that you weren't weighing/logging accurately enough.
