I've only just started paying attention to this business. A few weeks ago I was knocking on 78kg, which is way more than I reckon I should be given my height and build. Decided it was time to start doing something about it.
Downloaded myfitnesspal and set myself a daily target of 1200 cal net. Figured that might be a bit ambitious but it wouldn't matter too much if I went over. Found that knocking booze on the head during the week means I hit it without too much extra effort (although noticing that a pret chocolate bar was 300 cal came as a bit of a shock, so they went as well).
In the two weeks since I started, I've gone from 77 to 73.9 (with a bit of up and down along the way). Considering I was only aiming for 73 originally that's not bad going, I guess the challenge will be hitting the target and not immediately getting back into old habits. If I can avoid doing that, it should give me at least 300 cal/day of healthier options instead. Or maybe one beer and 100 healthy calories :)
