Does your HRM 'know' your weight? Does it need to?

Yeah, sure, I appreciate MFPs number is an estimate, but then so is the treadmills calculation. Just surprised the two estimates are so different. Thanks for the formula, Brian - that's useful. So, according to that ... 237lbs x 0.63 x 3.1 miles = 463 kcal As my goal is weight loss, I'll stick with the conservative…

Yeah, gotta admit, that's where my thinking is right now. If it's working, why change? If weight loss stalls or becomes too dramatic I'll review it. Thanks.

Yeah, you're right, but at 32% body fat I know there is plenty of weight to lose. 1200 kcal seems low, but that does work for you? Did you experiment with higher numbers?

I figured a 2lb per week loss was quite sensible and realistic. Conservative even, for a 250lb guy. I'm happy to continue at 1650kcal, but want to do what's right. Hard to know what's right really. If I'm losing 2lbs a week on 1650 should I stick with it? Or should I up it to 2000+ in the hope that still works?

Lol, yeah sorry, 12lbs isn't the end goal, just where I aim to be when I go skiing. Much easier at 17st than 18st. 1650 kcal felt about right - I wasn't hungry and found that i just needed a healthy snack around 8pm to top me out and meet the number. Ideal.
