So I eat at 1300 but what happens when I lose 10lb? I will have to eat even less cals then

I have been eating at this rate for about 4 weeks and yes my TDEE ids 1700 according to all the calculators. Some give me 1670 and others up to 2300

Aparrently my maintenance is 2324 so if I minus 500 that leaves 1824 to lose weight. seems an awful lot to me

please ignore this post

If I pick 1700 and deduct 500 that leaves only 1200cals. so far I have not lost a lb plus as I lose weight if I have to adjust I will be on very low cal when I reach my goal

I have half a thyroid gland and was put on levothyroxine, since then I have gained 2 stone, no energy, cold hands and feet, slow metabolism. Every time I get my bloods checked I am in the normal range, so I do not agree when people say yes you will lose weight. sinthetic thyroid medication is crap, the thyroid gland…

How do I find my maintenance?

Aww thank you

I would love to have another dog but I just dont feel ready emotionally, I know this sounds silly but I cant help it, also finances are a big issue, later on in life my babydog cost me an arm and a leg, of course I dont begrudge it but with food, vets bills etc it all adds up. We havent had a holiday for the last 6 years…

Any tips on how you did this. you do look great btw, Did you just watch calorie intake or go low carb? How many cals have you been eating? I ask this because you stats are very similar to mine.

O.K. so I will be honest here, I never work out I am a student so at laptop most of the day have no kids they are both grown men My dog died three months ago now and I cannot even think of getting another one I rarely walk as I have a car Apart from housework I do sit on the couch most of the time. I dont have any energy…

Strange how yours came at 2000 and mine 1640? Thanx for the encouragement I need it.

For better weight loss hopefully, and also grains have a bad review so given them up which sort of automaticaly gives me lower carb.

BTW I am eating a lower carb diet also.

I will up my cals, most calculators say to maintain my 166lb weight I need around 1700 so to lose 1lb per week minus 500 but that takes me below my BMR. But when I put in that I am 140lbs and want to maintain I get 16500-1700. I think I understand it now! but I did think to lose 1lb a week I had to have a 500 a day…

No I am not at my goal weight, I put in my stats and that is what it said, it is suggesting that i eat 1640cals and i will become a thinner person, but I just dont get it, surly if i eat at my tdee i will just remain the same weight, but if i cut 300-400 of it brings me back down to 1200-1300 cals which people on here are…

Quote from fat2fitradio - "the calories in the right column will be the number of calories that you will be able to eat at your goal weight. If you start eating those calories right now (eating like the thinner you), you will eventually become that thinner person. As you get closer to your goal weight, your weight loss…

Would the weight loss be due to the fact that you are on a 500cal a day regime?

So since I am 165lb should I be eating 165g of protien? This sounds quite a lot.

But if I cut back protein what do I sub it with? I can't really go under 1200 cals pe day can I? Also won't my body get used to running on such a low calorie amount and then I would have to go lower to see more weight loss which I can't really because it is low as it is.

My weight gain started when I had half my thyroid taken out and I was put onto levothyroxine also. I have slowly put on 2 stone over the last 4 years and always feel rubbish, cold intolerance, weight gain no energy etc.

I eat roughly 100g protein and no I am very sedentary.

About 6 weeks

Sorry what do you mean by open my diary? I am under 1280 cals as it is I didn't think I ate that much.

So how do I make my body go to my reserves?

How come I am not shifting any weight then?

No need to be rude! It can all be quite confusing.

Thank you, I just get frustrated as I don't lose any weight. I really try and eat healthy, no grains, fish,meat,eggs, veg but nothing will shift.
