Helping you set your recommended amount of calories...

Looking for advice gals.

Dan (on MFP) told me my cals to be 1600-1800. This is more than 1400, I did last 2 weeks and more than 1200 I've struggled to stick to for years.

This was based on sit down job, daily run-estimated sedentary.
However, today I did my run and spin class and then this evening a metafit class. Should I eat a bit more today for the not-included classes when target set. Cos today is, at least, lightly active. Proof being I can hardly walk!!!

Any advice appreciated.

I have done a lot of loss gains since sugery in October but I now seem to be on a steady down (minus my Christmas whoosh) I have 8lbs till I'm back at pre surgery weight where I was very skinny fat. This time I'm building muscles and am going to be lean skinny! Size 12s watch out my butts going to fit in you!

Well done girls - you are both doing really well :)
 
11.3 Ali, I've not updated my current weight as I'm often on my phone and the facilities are restricted. But this 11.3 just jumped on over Christmas. Usually I'm easily 10.12-10.10 and aiming for low tens! Its just so frustrating, been reading this thread for a couple of months before I joined it (had tried JUDDD), and usually the Christmas weight gain is long gone by now.

I dont really feel much diff to be honest ;-{

I feel your pain! I was 10.10 last Summer and my weight entering 2013 was 11.10!!! I've only lost 2.5lbs in January but I'm determined not to drop down to 1200 cals as I want it to stay off this time ... so I'll have to take the scenic route ;)

How did you get on with JUDDD?

Its just not for me Ali, but lots of folk love it. I need to count cals-on my Up days I couldnt stop myself eating to much. To do it correctly ( I read the book first) its supposed to be alternate days which means either a Saturday or Fri/Sun are 500 cals days-and over time its just too restrictive for me. Plenty of folks on the JUDDD page try different things-double down days etc but I was also concerned if it was a good example to set the kids-as they asked if I was eating that day or not.
This whole more calls and bmr thing makes sense, BUT I feel its so slow (I even emailled Dan and he said 1600-1800) but that seems loads.

What cals you aiming for? And how active are you?

Hi .. Sorry been out and just caught up ... I did feel bigger before I lost .. In fact put weight on .. You have worked out a lot recently I think .??
Have you measured .. It isn't always about weight ... However I know how hard it is to pass that .! I still like the scales ..!!
Try weighing once a month .. I know again how hard it is do feel your pain ..
I was at plateau for so long .. Used to do Ww and cry coz every week is be the same .. Even on here cal counting I didn't really lose .. This is the only time I have lost consistently in a long time ..
You have to give it time tho . And slow weight bliss us the best ... I really hope it all works out fir you .. Coz I do feel your pain I was there for do so long xxxxx
