Lose Weight 23

funkyfunkymonkey

I couldn't 'let it be', I fiddled with one of the calculators until I found the corresponding weights for 2000 calorie intake for someone of my age and height.

I got the following: 14 stone 5 lbs (sedentary), 13 stone 5 lbs (lightly active), 10 stone 0 lbs (moderately active) and 7 stone 6 lbs (very active)

So, no wonder I can't maintain on 2000.

Haha that's exactly what I did FFM, just played with the numbers till it was as close as possible to 2000 (without going over) Quite scary to think that an intake of 2000/day would eventually lead to becoming 13 - 14 stone if sedentary...

I think you deserve more than a mince pie for braving the shops today - have an imaginary second one too

PCL - enjoy your break!

And the government wonders why the nation is becoming obese? It's their figures we're working to.

(Okay so we do keep eating all the pies too :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: )

2000 isn't a target though, it's an 'average'...? I am guessing they assume light to moderate activity (recommended 30 mins/day?) which in my case would come out at 11.5 stone, which would be about a 14-16 clothes size I reckon - which I think is right for the UK average?

Okay, fair enough I was going on a 'right old rant' back at base :rotfl:

I was 11st 3lb when I decided to lose weight, 'cos I was a 'rising' 14.

I didn't feel 'average', I felt lump dumpy and frumpy.

Aw FFM Didn't mean to get you on a rant with my findings!

I was similar to you - 11 stone was my freak out moment. I was top heavy then and a size 16 on top. It's evened out very nicely now I'm pleased to say (Sorry any menfolk who prefer a bit more up top!!! :rotfl: )

funkyfunkymonkey

Tee hee, wasn't a huge rant, but I think a range might be more 'useful'.

I wouldn't mind being top heavy, (well just a little bit - 'cos I know too much can cause probs). I can buy my undies in Tammy .

I was a 12 top, 14 going on 16 bottom, looked like a real weeble.

Haha that reminds me of trying to get my waterproof hiking trousers and the 10 was too big so I asked what the next size down was and they said "Age 13"!!!

Did you weigh in today oh Funky one?

funkyfunkymonkey

Ha ha, I've pinched DS's fleece, he's grown out of it and it fits me just fine (except for the arms which are a bit short), it's 11-12.

Yes I did weigh in, 11947 calories for a 0.8lb gain.

I checked and double checked my numbers, wondered if I had miscalculated last night's Indian, had my porridge and then nature called (probably too much detail but that explained the gain which was a bit larger than I was expecting but is okay in the scale of things.)
