I know I am too fat to be on here but I want to lose a stone anyway
MFP says that to lose 2lb a week with active status as not very because I sit at a desk most of the day that I get a whopping 1945 calories! that's having said lose 2lb?!
I will lurk if you don't mind

No one is too fat at all.Nice calories do you get exercise on top?
I joined MFP this week and I get for the same active status and I get 1200+ exercise.

If MFP recommends 1500 (male) or 1200 (female), then it's adjusted your goal to be the minimum it recommends. It's good to compare its recommendation by adjusting your settings to "I want to maintain my weight" or whatever it's called, and seeing how many calories it gives for that.
1945 to lose 2lb a week sounds great! The best I get on 1500 is 0.4kg/week if I did no exercise.

problem is my head freaks at that high a number! I know it's because I am heavy to start with (despite my height!) but I would have thought 1500 would be more it!

Another lurker here I have lost almost 2st in the last 18m but would love to lose another 1/2st.
I am in a strange place as I’m happy where I am but would like a smaller number. I will keep plugging away at it I’m more scared of the weight sneaking back on.
Pix I have lost my weight comfortably eating 1800-1900 cals I use MFP (bit slacking on that at the moment) I don’t eat back any exercise cals unless I do a crazy long run and burn mega cals

Nice going gg. A lot more sensible than me. Think I must have a bit of a type A personality.

69 kilos, which is where I left off end of January, so that is encouraging! I feared I had re-gained it all...
