Training is going well but I am still dropping weight after VFW which is interesting and unexpected, since I am eating like normal and training like normal. This morning before breakfast I was back to my 22-year old self, weight-wise at least

Still a "tant".

Always. I think I was born with a mental knee-long skirt and clutch purse.
there is always time for rowing

hey all i needed to do was think "need to lose weight" and i have dropped couple kg already.
this is easy...

looking pretty RIPPED in the mornings - probably because i store all the fat around my organs

1-2 more kg would be nice.

Hey that's cool thanks. The problem I always seem to have with these calculators though is correctly assessing my activity level. I find it hard to judge which level I am, which can result in a big difference in maintenance.
I've been trying to work out my maintenance lately - I just chose an arbitrary figure of 2500 which I plan to hit everyday and am monitoring to see if I gain or lose any weight over a 6-8 week period.

You could have a look here (step 2):

Glory days are over. I'm in.
I've packed 14 kg in 11 months. Let's find out how this cutting thing works.

I'm happy that my DIY cutting plan is working. I just can't count calories or follow detailed macros, it's like asking a monkey to solve a math equation. Trying that all the carbs I eat are also a good source of protein -trying to keep protein as high as I can-. I've cleaned the diet a little bit (cookies, white bread, dates, etc) and just stopped eating pistachos and cashews like it's the end of the world.
I've lost 2 kg in 2 ½ weeks. I think I'm doing fine (¿?). The initial plan was to keep this for 8 weeks but I'm not sure yet.

LOL. Strong choice of picture. Just don't follow the same plan, and stay away from saunas...

Is that tins of mock duck? Do people actually eat and enjoy it?
I get pretty dependent on sietan while cutting but the stuff I make isn't good, it's just edible. The only shop stuff I've tried is the slices which aren't nice or cheap. I've never known anyone to eat it and never really wanted to try it cause of the plucked texture and being in a tin
