What a fantastic story. I'm so happy for the changes YOU made to make YOUR life better, it really is all down to us and what we decide to do with our lives isn't it? You look great and are so obviously happy now and rightly so. I love the idea of making a list of everything that needs doing and being able to tick each…

It's the same idea as this, but I keep it handy and in the way all the time, motivates me every time I have to move it!

Absolutely! I keep it in front of the fridge lol.

First Bruce Springsteen Wembley stadium 1985 Last The Pogues 2010 (usually every Christmas but they took last year off, booo!)

Hi, am exactly the same, with work some days are more sedentary and others are really active so am also set at lightly active. The problem is if I believe my pedometer on the active days I can really burn a lot of calories and don't feel happy to eat them all back as advised. I hope someone has the answer:smile:

Anyone??

Hi, in the 'my goals' section MFP has set my daily calories burned, for lightly active, as 2300 but I should only be eating 1300 to lose 2 llb per week. With a BMR of 1700, MFP seems to be saying that I burn around 600 calories for being lightly active, have I understood this right? I am sticking to 1300 calories and so…

Thanks for the reply. I think if I go for lightly active then and add on any proper extra exercise it should balance out across the week. Good job I didn't start on the extra calories lol.

Am so sorry, had listed myself as lightly active not sedentary! But if I add exercise as walking at the slowest pace, even for only 3 hours (it would be more but not constant or over long distances) it adds another 800 to my calorie allowance, that seems an awful lot, should I be looking to eat some of those extra calories…
