I used this calculator http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html and it stated that my BMR is 1715 calories a day I'm in the high 9s now but want to be low 9's in the 8 stones like I was before

I want to try and stay within my 1200 for the day though so it's hard estimating :-)

hi thank you thats what i did it averaged between the low and high so i think i'm going to go with 300 thank you :-)

I would love to try strength training I have no idea about weights though, what kg weights should I start off with?

Yes they are of me, I am midway into my bmi and I dont feel comfortable at the weight i am as i used to be smaller, but ballooned over the past year or two I lost my mum and my brother so i must have started to comfort eat i was 166 pounds last june now im 137 but im not happy yet

I'm 24 and I weigh 137 pounds

I might try upping my intake although i've reduced my goals and exercise rate on my goal here and my intake has only gone up by 40 calories a day. I'm still really stuck what to do, i might eat my bmr calories this week and see if there is any change

I would love that! but I'm not sure if its compatible with my country, im in the UK

I've been using mfp for around 4-5 months at first i was losing 2-3 pounds a week, then i found out i had a wheat and dairy intolerance cut those out of my diet i lost 4 pounds in the first week of doing this ever since then ive either lost a pound a week or lost nothing. I kind of get what people are saying that im eating…

thanks for all your great replies guys! I'll definitely go with the steak and potato or cajun chicken and potato! have a great day! :happy:

I'm going to have sushi for lunch which is around 295 and maybe an apple, I was thinking maybe to go with the chicken burger with no bun and a side salad... i dont want to haha, but even salads in restaurants are really high, i was thinking chicken caesar salad but again that could be a 1,000
