That calculator seems really good! Whilst I'd like to lose a little more than 0.5lbs a week, I guess I'll take it over nothing. :) It seems I will go for 1300-1400 calories per day, and I like that that calculator gives suggestions for meals, calories per meal, etc, that's a nice tough, I'll keep that open to remind me to…

Thank you! I'm so pleased with my weight loss so far, I'm just kind of depressed that it's much harder to get to my 9stone goal and finally be a healthy weight :D (something I've never been, I get excited just thinking about it!). My body seems to go between 1-2 pounds each day, it seems, just from eating/drinking, the…

I still worry that 1400 might be a bit too much, but just about everyone has said very similar calorie values for what I should have, so 1300-1400 seems like what I'll change to (once I've started weighing more stuff). Ah, so I should try and intake those values for carbs, fats and protein, and keep that at 1400 calories?…

To me it actually doesn't suck, I can cope pretty well with not eating a lot, so I wouldn't mind cutting down if it will legitimately make me lose more weight without causing any health problems (possibly due to not enough calories, if I were to cut down too much). . Actually stuff like eating at a restaurant, how would I…

So even if I'm underestimating by 30-45%, that would put me at 1300-1450 calories, which apparently is an acceptable deficit for me, so why am I still not losing? (I'm not being defensive, just wondering. I really can't imagine my calorie counting being more than that inaccurate, because I do try and combat any…

I'm not really guessing...I weigh things where I don't eat the whole packet, e.g if I have a sandwich with some cheese or something, I'll weigh the cheese and use that calculation to get the calories. I eat a lot of things that are just one portion though, e.g a tin of tomato soup I'll just trust the can and not…

Thanks for the advice, I think I already have a heart rate monitor lying around somewhere, and I definitely have food scales :)

I understand it's easy to underestimate calories, whilst I do estimate I lot, I try to over estimate on some things to balance it out. I do weigh some things, but not everything. If I shouldn't be hitting 1000 calories, what should I be hitting? If I should be aiming for 1300 or something, and I'm actually hitting that (I…

That's good, then. I should hopefully start losing weight soon then, I'm glad I don't have to worry about muscles then.. Sorry but I don't see how not writing it down means I must not know my numbers? I always make sure to calculate the amount of calories in a portion of what I eat, and just add it up along as the day goes…

I don't really log my foods in here, I know I'm terrible, so opening up my diary won't help, I mostly just use this site to track my losses, not what I eat. I know it may sound unrealistic but unless food packages are lying at MOST I am taking in is 1200-1300 calories on average per day, some days are more than this I will…

I do the slimfast diet, although half the time I don't have a shake, instead I have something worth the same amount of calories (like a sandwich, for example, or a small bowl of cereal) and I'd say it's a success. I've lost almost three stone now, since July, you just have to have self control and when you reach your…
