Uk here, 225lb down to 172lb, under 140 days

in UK Based MFP'ers? Comment by backupguy December 2014

I've calculated my intake to make sure I eat enough, but I do not eat back calories from exercise, except for the occasional treat day.

in Which level of effort do I put down in the MFP app for my exercise bike? Comment by backupguy November 2014

I suppose the end result doesn't matter, it's the exercise itself that counts

I was under the impression MFP would be more more accurate since it knows my stats and the exercise bike doesn't? But a heart rate monitor would be good, would love to buy the new Fitbit Surge but at £199.99 it could be a while before I can afford that. Might do as you have said and get a heart rate monitor.

well I don't think that would be correct as even light effort (the lowest) is over what the bike says which was 409. Surely that number is conservative more than anything since it must be based on an average weighted person? I have 18.5% body fat and would consider myself slightly overweight
