15% gives me a little less than half a pound a week loss the workings out tell me...Kind of figured I'd go with that.. Thanks, looks like lightly active it is...I didnt want to over estimate how lightly, lightly was if that makes sense! :)

I'm 28.... And a half., those 30s can wait a bit longer thank you very much., I always like new friends... With or without penises

To read later

Re starter here ! I Also got a little too obsessed with it, and too downhearted when things wernt going right, well, the chocolates are gone, no more parties, let's try get back into the swing of it all :)

Hello! I'm from the East Midlands, Leicestershire, feel free to add me. I'm generally here daily and always glad of some new friends.

I go to Glastonbudget! ;) Tis great. Glastonbury....one day maybe

Mine is open and VERY honest. Feel free to add me

I use love quite a lot ! Or my lovely....probably too much !

If your goal is 1300 that's what you should be netting . it does sound a bit low though. Read the in place of a roadmap thread . Look up your BMR and TDEE you want to be somewhere in the middle of the two numbers :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

My Grandpa says duckie ... But I've not heard anyone else here use it.... Or maybe I just don't hear it now !

Hi, I'm following ipoarm ! I'm fairly new to it all but its going well so far !

East midlands here, feel free to add, Im far from flawless though !:)

*waves* me! Anyone can add me. I'm far from flawless , but here pretty often

Mines open to all. But then I have no friends to tell me off either ! :bigsmile:

If you followed the instructions on the link correctly then yep, that would be about right.... I did the same as you at the start, did you tell Mfp you wanted to lose 2lbs a week ? (that might be a bit high, you've not got too much to lose ) Also the amount it gives you us net, so you eat Bavk your excercise cals... I did…

Small starts are great.... I've started walking a bit more and will try and do some other bits. Even if its just a go on the Wii fit or some crunches or anything ! I love tfe recipi section with the app that breaks down the calories. With kids and the husband It's s lifesaver. You can do it ! If you've heard of pinterest…

Yep, the positive attitude is the way I'm going with this :)

Do you think anyone will know I'm going on a bike ride ?

Is everything you do focused on your kids. ? Do you have time for you ?... I've been there and I feel for you. It creeps back now and again . You need to remember who you are, take some time out. Do something you want to do. Don't worry about how you feel towards the kids or anyone else. This time is about you now. Be a…

I think...because your excercise is already factored in you don't eat them back . Good luck

i cant really offer any advise, my stats are very similar to yours and im struggling at the moment to know where to eat after just starting this ! But im eating about the same as you, I'd say, after reading a ton of these threads you just need to keep at it, the wight you put in is water or hormone changes you'll be good x

Anyone have any thoughts on the 2 BMRs ? Which is right ?

^ THIS is something to definitely remember.

Helpful thread :) After a month I wasn't loosing, using the MFP details. .... So had a look and figured this might be the best route, I found the 1200 MFP gave me was under my BMR... Which I still don't know which is right. The Mfp one (1312)or the one on the Scooby site (1427 ) I've gone with the MFP one. My tdee is 1707…

Thanks, 5th weeks starts today with a weigh on loss of just 0.2 lbs which is nothing. I can honestly say after 4 weeks of happily eating 1200 cal a day (I've netted at around 1100) I'm really worried about upping this to 1300 net.. Will it really be ok ? And I should still definetly eat back excersise cals ? One more the…

Wow, I'm in this same boat. Mfp told me 1200 cal. My bmr says 1317.... To maintain it says I need q800 ish... Both I said I was sedentry. I'm not aiming to lose quickly. A pound a week or so. After a fair bit of research. I'm upping that net goat for Mfp.... I don't want to destroy myself or get into bad habbits straight…

So, set my net calorie goal at at least my BMR , of 1317 will be ok ? Because 1200 is too low ? Set my weight loss goals around 0.5 to 1lb per week. Eat any excercise calories. Jobs a good un ?

I really appreciate this. Mfp told me I needed to stay at 1200 calories. After looking around my BMR is 1317 ish this confuses me. But still ...I think I'm going to put my net goal to 1330 and eat my excersise calories.... ? soundsabout right I think ?

I went to 1200 purely because My Fitness Pal told me that's what I needed to have....but actually I'm a bit concerned now its not enough ! I found a site that also gives me the calories I need to stay at my weight. I'm anywhere between sedentry and lightly active ...I'd go with sedentry. Which gave me 1707 I walk to work…

Ahh that does make more sence. Thanks for the advice It will be the end of my 3rd week tomorrow ( took me a year to get into this ! ) , and last weigh in I was wondering why the loss was so little - I'm not expecting huge amounts and at least it was in the right direction , but , maybe I wasn't eating enough. I will try…
