I presume whoever told you your BMR did a respiration based test which is specific to you... The important question however is are you losing weight as it is and are you happy with your loss speed as it stands? 42" jeans(25/01/2013) 40"(28/02/2013) 38"(20/03/2012) Down from 60" waist jeans since June 21st 2012! Mini-goals 2013: 1-5 complete! Mini-goal 6: 36" Jeans <- Bought I can get them on but they are a bit tight to wear all day. Mini-goal 7: 220lb 2013 Targets: 16st/224lb (Main Target) 15st/210lb (Buffer to give myself some leeway as I readjust my calories) Treats: St Paul's Cathedral - Climbing to the Whispering Gallery and Beyond! Painting course - Started! Onwards and Downwards!
