Frustrated and annoyed that I'm letting myself down.
Not wishing to wallow in self pity - However, can someone please explain to me why I know that eating less calories than I burn makes me lose weight, and that I feel so much better when I’m not as fat as I am now, yet I continue to eat.

Now, it could just be that I’m irresistible to women :blushing: , or maybe (And far more likely) that there are significantly less men than women on MFP.

I am privileged to be friends with a number of people on MFP all of whom are making great progress. However, when I look at some diaries I see quite a large variance between the calorific target and achievement. Some people appear to be easily achieving their goals. MFP initially gave me a calorie target of 2500. This was…
