Well um, hello there fatsecret.com! i've just randomly stumbled accross this site, and i've been thinking of late how chubby i've gotten this year, so starting tomorrow (since its 2am lol) i'll cut back, work out and keep people on this site posted. :] worth a try i suppose!

My current weight is roughly 168lbs (i think, i need to buy some scales, but i was 166 a few weeks ago and ive gained a little bit from what i see), so 12stone. I sound larger than i am, since i usually wear a UK size 12 in clothing which isnt 'fat' at all, its pretty average. However, i seriously want to be back down to last years size 10, at which point i weighted about 10stone 10 (i swear i'm naturally heavy! even when slim, dang it! aha oh well) so wish me luck! I'm going to aim to lose 1 or 2 lbs a week, so an average of 6lbs a month, so by new year if this works i should have lost 18lbs/ 1st 4lbs, therefore weighing somewhere in the region of 150lbs.

this site tells me to maintain my current weight, taking age heigh and activity into consideration, i may eat 2200 calories a day (15,400 a week). i also read online that to lose a pound u have to cut back on 3500 calories less than you NEED. so for example, to lose 1lb per week i take 3500 away from 15,400 to get my weekly calorie allowance and divide by 7. therefore my daily calorie allowance to lose 1lb in a week is 1700. I've set my daily target RDI on this site to 1400, so i should lose about 1.5lbs a week aslong as i cut back on fatty foods and keep up moderate excercise!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! averagegirl x
