Its going to differ from person to person. An app suggested I needed only 1200cals, nhs calculator said around 1400 to 1500. Even so, if you exercise or your job / kids keep you active your body needs more fuel, so your needs will be different each day.

I normally aim for 1500 cals a day, not losing a lot at the mo, another 4lbs off and i'll be happy , only 1/2lb this week, not really bothered that much to be fair, I tend to add up them on a daily basis, and out for a meal tomm, so that will be tough!

I go out for a cake about once every two weeks and don't worry about things then!

On a good week can lose 1lb a week, only 4lbs off my first week, all those months ago, before I lost 1st 12lbs.

Hi there, MyfitnessPal tells me I need 1200, and regular sites including NHS say 1500. So working with 1500 I seem to be doing well, but on the 1200 I struggle AND I have recently been exercising a lot. So you can imagine that I could get really demoralised when MYFitnessPal tells me I have overeaten and I'm in the red much sooner than other programmes. Confused.com lol. BUT I am completing the food diary as honest as I can remember it (often log twice a day), and it certainly shows where you are going wrong! And it's usually foods that I didn't realise had so much carbohydrates!
