  • That's interesting, I may try and up my walks a bit then so I get my 10,000 steps in a day - discounting my first weeks weight loss which was above average due to water loss I suspect, I am just over 1.5 pounds a week weight loss though it's not linear, so some weeks I see a lovely big drop and then I seem to flatline for…
  • Thanks, I was thinking of allowing myself around 100 calories extra for the two mile walk, guess I can only try it and see if it works or not for me
  • Slow? Oh bother, I thought 20 min per mile was a reasonable pace, how many minutes should a mile take if I want to consider it exercise, since my reason for walking is to get my daily exercise in I need to go at a fast enough speed for it to count
  • Thanks for the replies, I am finding that 1400-1500 calls is much more do-able than the 1200 and just wanted to see if that was considered ok, very good info on the TDEE
  • i know weigh in for the spread sheet is tomorrow but my weigh in is a thursday and being my first one i was eager to get on the scales, i realised i might expect a reasonable first week weigh in but i have lost 7 pounds, is this normal for week 1!! either way i am happy
  • count me in - only started the diet yesterday so it will be good to track weekly losss and keep motivated :)
