You have done really well goragon 😊 That's a lot of weight to have lost.

Did I read it correctly that you aim for 1500 calories? Is that enough? How have you arrived at that figure? I hope you don't mind me questioning it but the NHS BMI checker suggests a much higher calorie target, 1944-2499 for a man of your height and weight.

Not eating enough will make it very difficult to stay on track.

I use a number of trackers.

MyFitnessPal, MyNetDiary and loseit.

To lose 2 lbs a week they estimate that I eat around 1700 calories a day.

At the moment my weight loss seems to have stalled so I'm going to drop down to 1200 calories for a few days possible a week just to see what happens.

I weigh myself every day so I just want to see if it has an effect and what happens when I go back to 1700 calories.

I'm aiming to get down to 185 lbs eventually.

Sometimes we can eat too little and this hinders weight loss but you are keeping a close eye on things which is good 😊

Sometimes 'mixing it up' by over/under eating can give the weight loss a boost 😊

You will know yourself how hungry you feel. 1200 is very low, I'm only 5'1" and struggle on that many calories.

Very best wishes and keep us posted

Hi Goragon -that's a nice webpage, and you've got an impressive weight loss story with good photos :)

Good luck with the 1200 calorie experiment. Don't know if it's me, but it seems that first time dieters always go for too low calories.

Best wishes & keep on going :)
