My tdee is 2084 2605-20%

Thank you, this has answered a question and given me more :) and life is dull without questions

So I should up it to around 2000-2500 a day? Approximately because like I say I'm not looking to lose it fast I'm looking to lose it smart.

It's only a deficit of 1500 calories and I'm making sure that my protein intake is high. I have 30% body fat at the moment so I think my body can take it

I'm eating at the BMR for the size I want to be rather than the size I am thank you I'll check them out

Glad I'm not the only one when it comes to shoulders, I've noticed my left arm is strong get than my right but to my knowledge I've never done any injury to it.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I checked out the BMR for the size I want to be and I'm choosing to aim for that now rather then 1200 a day as I said I am doing strength training but not heavy weights just some to preserve the muscle mass I have I'm going to evaluate the situation at 10 pound intervals and stop when I am…

Cool yeah I'm never in too much of a rush to get to work, it's usually 1.5 in the morning and 1.5 in the evening after standing all day at work

I'm 5`9" 207 lbs and I'm 33 goal is 180-160 with body fat of 10% Regarding the walking on an average day I walk 3 hours =1.5 hours to train station for work each way or an average of 5 miles. I'll admit I'm going from the calories MFP says I burn rather than my own calculations. Today I'll a total of 7 miles. Feel free to…

4lbs is not the end of the world as the other person said your weight will fluctuate, hell I went from 207 to 210 back to 207 in a week because I over indulged. It's not a major setback, it's barely a speed bump. Good luck

I don't have kids but I work in busy shopping centres the amount of toddlers and young children I see running away from their parents is disturbing. I reckon at least twice a day a parent I'm dealing with will ask where has child a gone now, so from that perspective I agree with these. I'm a child of the 80s with one older…

I'm terrible for stopping and starting so this time I'm setting myself prizes for doing over certain goals I can't say if it's working yet though because it's all new lol. I will say one thing though I wish I had the stamina to follow through at your age rather than wasting the last 12 years essentially fighting myself, I…

I will join a gym I just have it set as one of my targets. I was thinking about taking the legs out as I'm walking and riding a lot

I was pooping when I read this

Shouldn't it be considered a TREAT day? I think calling it a cheat day gives it a bad tone, once a month you enjoy yourself and maybe work a little harder that week so that it doesn't rock the boat too hard :)

That is incredible and I wish you luck with your last 20lbs I hope you realise what an inspiration these stories are because you've put it in real terms, it's not about numbers it's about quality of life and I hope that you now have a long life with your kids and good luck to you and your wife :)

:) people should learn to take good advice I hope they do anyway

Yeah I'm choosing not to pay attention to bmi after I read an article that said Hugh Jackman was obese according to his bmi. I'll take your advice and the advice of others and start planning some strength training. I think I'm a bit naive to be honest and because I've gone it alone in the past this advice should help thank…

Thanks I'll check it out

Thank you a snail's pace is better than crash dieting though. We can do anything that we set our minds to right :)

At the moment I'm more interested in losing fat, when I reach my goal weight I'll look at improving my strength, I'm trying to concentrate on one goal at a time

Chasinpavement- last time I got a new job and met someone so it was harder to get to the gym. Katy_trail- that's what I thought, I know the juice detox isn't a quick fix, at the moment I'm more interested in losing fat, so I'm keeping the strength and muscle building to a minimum at the moment when I reach my goal weight…

Well done you look great
