I'm not scared of an increase, I'm just not done with the decrease.

If you had read the first post, you would have realised that I'm already down 5kg. I'm well aware of what I'm doing. Done that before, didn't go too well. The hiking bit, I mean.

I have done neither of those things pal :D Also "kitten" is MFP's autocensor, not my phrasing... For your first point: MFP tends to flash up a message saying it won't give a weight prediction if you don't meet a certain level, which with the 1200 net tends to require eating back exercise calories.

I've survived for five weeks with no adverse effects, and I actually feel healthier than I ever have. 1200 was MFP's recommendation; what sort of alternative would you suggest? The light/low carb thing is generally what I'm doing on those days; I don't usually eat many carbs anyway now that Zoodles have replaced spaghetti.…

Doesn't work for me either. I found a spreadsheet online that helps estimate calories burned though so that's a workaround.
