Yeah me too .. I'm 143 lbs and 5ft 1in .. Maybe your a lot talker than me ..
Have to admit .. The more I read the more confused I get .. I don't know what to do for the best ... Think I lost a lb from last week so maybe it does work ..
I just don't know .... Some days I read and google so much with all conflicting advice and I could throw the damned laptop out of the window .!

I've got such a narrow margin I'm not sure Where to settle myself 
I lost 26 lbs on SW before hitting a 3 month plateau so moved to CC in Feb. By June I had lost 7 lbs and weighed 10.10 - so close to my target of 10.7! Since the summer though I've gained that 7 lbs back! I just can't find my happy calories!
I think I've got quite a narrow margin:
BMR is 1410
TDEE is 1700
What do you guys suggest should be my daily cals intake?

I'd go for around 1500-1600, Ali.

Had my lovely slow cooked chicken today. Was gorgeous and juicy and tender! Weigh-in tomorrow night. I don't eat until after my weigh-in. Hoping for a better loss this week. My weight loss has gone down since I started exercising...hoping it'll right itself soon.

ok ive looked at this again now that im actually on my computer. I think i may analyze this to death tbh. My BMR is 1639 and my[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]Sedentary is[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]1967. i currently sit at about 1400, that seems right to me i think. Ive been told so many different things it all is starting to get a little confusing Like I'm not supposed to eat under my BMR but last time i went over 1600 it made me put on 9 lbs . Im ready to pull my hair out at this point its all such a confusing mess.
So, doing a little math on the lowest it say (with the -20%) that i can eat 1573 but that is below my BMR so if i look at the next level up it says i should being (with the -20%) 1804. Now do i just aim for above 1600 and below 1800 or should i stick to the 1573?
Hell why isnt there a magic pill yet?! :sigh:

Unless you're laying in bed all day, you're generally not sedentary. If you stick to the cals and do a bit of exercise, you really shouldn't gain.

If you've got a bit to loss, take 30% away from your lightly active number. Find a sweet spot between your BMR (the second one which is lower, worked out from your measurements/body fat percentage) and you 30%- number <3

So you are saying I should not eat under my bmr (1600) and may need to go even higher? I want to lost 2st I've lost 10st so far. I really struggle with eating I find at the end of the night I snack on things just to get up to goal.
