    Right but I am assuming all predictions are based on that staying the same.

    So then either run a new model where you increase activity halfway through, or accept that you're going to have to redo your charts when you become more active.[/quote]

    I would like to add some exercise in the future, but if I can't fit it in now how will I fit it in later? I did make the reward for my 3rd goal to be joining an exercise class (I can't really afford it financially but I need stuff to motivate me so I will have to find a way... maybe if I can get my son potty trained I can use the nappy moneh!)

    I do plan to drop calories as my tdee drops, but I don't know if I can trust myself eating less and less. By my last goal I'll be on 1100kcal a day which sounds a bit scary. Like these are all vague plans. What *really* happens is the fear isn't it? I want to have wiggle room once it gets hard.

    what stats are you working on to only get to eat 1100 cals?

    67kg and 167cm still aiming for 0.5kg a week.

    My 11 goals are:

    113kg (already got that one yay!) (1600kcal)
    107kg (1600kcal)
    102kg (1500kcal)
    97kg (1500kcal)
    92kg (1400kcal)
    87kg (1300kcal)
    83kg (1300kcal)
    79kg (1300kcal)
    71kg (1200kcal)
    67kg (1100kcal)

    I don't want to stop losing at 67kg (although it's the final goal) because it's still at the top of the normal BMI and I want to have some buffer zone to prevent me going over it again once I get there.

    but you wont want to lose at the same rate of loss the whole time?

    Then don't add it in?

    It's either add it in, or don't. So why on earth are you worrying that it's not reflecting added exercise if you don't even think that you're going to add it in?

    You're making this far more difficult than it needs to be. And that's coming from someone who has about 10 different Excel files related to real-life data related to weight, intake, expenditure, and medication levels.

    I don't expect to but I do *want* to lol. Like the aim is to try, but if I genuinely can't keep it up I'll have to re-evaluate.

    But that's why I want to lose faster now. If I am losing like 0.1kg every 2 months or something by then I need to lose really fast now to make up for it.
