thank you all so much for your replies. I cant run..yet...so am walking on the treadmill. Ive been going every day going at 5.8 speed for an hour each day. i start off at 5 speed then work up and i do feel as though im pushing the pace but am so eager to lose the weight i think that it where i could be goin wrong. But it…

Is 1500 more realistic do you think? I cope well on 1300 but sometimes go a tiny bit over. I'm eager to lose the weight the right way, so need to make sure I do this correct. Thanks for your reply

Hi I'm from the uk and want to lose 84lbs. I've lost 24 already but need another 84 shifting. I'm healthy calorie counting and swimming an hour a day feel free to add me

Hi I need to lose 5 stone so long journey ahead but one I must complete this time. Wgat healthy eating/diet plan are you following? We can do this together :)

Ahhh I see, that makes total sense now, thank you

Maybe the Cals burnt that mfp calculates differ by an individual's weight and build? I'm very overweight (not for much longer hopefully!) so maybe it shows me burning more as I have lots to lose?

Sorry guys I'm only going by what I put in. I put 60 mins of continual breast stroke and it gave me that. I don't understand what you mean by 'eat back' I'm now getting confused.... I don't swim that fast although when I swim my heart rate is raised, I'm out of breath, and face feels very hot and red. I am more than you…

This is what it said when I entered it. So obviously very wrong then.

I'm swimming an hour a day which mfp tells me is burning 1200 cals. I eat 1500 Cals a day. Sorry I wasn't very clear.

Brilliant thanks guys. I am obese hence needing to lose a little over 4.5 stone. Logic tells me you are both correct, I shouldn't listen to others who think they know it all lol. Will carry on as I'm doing and hope to see changes soon

I'm swimming an hour a day and the app says I burn 1200 Cals each day doing that, do you think 1500 Cals is enough to eat? I do feel more toned and only been doing it three weeks, but being on a deadline I've got to really do this right

I will add you Lisa on Fitbit

Go you Paul! Fantastic attitude to having that extra slice. Well done on the 10lb too!

Ladies and men I should have put! Sorry

I need to lose 60, long old road ahead! I'm walking a lot more and it appears to be working as I'm toning up....slightly. I'm cal counting which works for me and using hairy bikers recipes. Hubby and j did it before and I lost three stone and him 1.5. Got to do this and for life this time. I'm 46 and want to be here to see…
