Ok I will up the calories and see what affect that has. I will think of the last 3 weeks a a big kick start and now can go more sensibly.

tdeecalculator.net estimates 1659 for maintenance so I’m using that as a starting point. I am listening and really appreciate your advice. I want to do it right and be successful.

Thank you that’s interesting. Yes I’m 32. I’ve recently gone on the mini pill and my periods are all over the place as well. I don’t know how much this is going to affect my weight. I see what you’re saying that potentially I could be eating a lot more but I think the 3lb per week loss has to be a fluke. If I added on 500…

1480 for a 0.5lb loss

Another question.. On the app I adjusted my goal from 2lb a week loss which gives me 1200kcal to 1lb a week which gives me 1230kcal. How would I calculate a more accurate figure for the one pound loss because 30kcal a day can’t be the difference between a 1lb loss and a 2lb loss surely?

Thank you all for the advice/feedback. Facing up to a few home truths can be painful. I do need to make a change and commit to it. We should be going on big family holiday next summer so if I can feel confident in a bikini that would be amazing.

I think I’m probably finding it hard to accept that I’ve let myself get to this place that I really hate and feel embarrassed about and I’m looking for a quick fix to feel better. But obviously it’s not going to work out long term, or at all, trying to cheat my way to a goal.

Yeah I know those numbers don’t make sense in that 3 week period but I definitely didn’t eat less than 1000kcal per day. Maybe my maintenance is slightly higher. Definitely my motivation is the biggest problem. When progress is slow I just lose interest. I have to do it slow and steady then I guess.
