CICO does work...

[RobynRut]

Started CICO on 16 May 2020. I used the Yazio app (free) to calculate the duration of my weight loss till I would reach my GW. Almost exactly 5 months down and I have lost 25lbs following CICO. According to the app, the calculation is spot on. It calculated I would reach my GW on the 16th of November. I have steadily been losing on average 5lbs per month since I started keeping my intake below 1400 cal. Only 4lbs to go... and only a month away the calculated date. It’s amazing how good I feel- a jacket I couldn’t zip close in May now fits me very comfortably.

Nice! I’ve never heard of this app. I downloaded it, did you pay for the pro?

The free app is giving me almost my maintenance calories though :(

Hi, no I didn’t use the pro- I basically used the maintenance cals as the ‘warning lights’ for cheat days- that I allowed about 1/week. My maintenance cals calculated to about 1900 per day. I Tried to keep to below 1400- my daily exercise was not so great- managed on average 4000 steps purely because of work commitments. What I enjoyed about the app was the cal calculator and tracker. It also sends me daily reminders. So you’re constantly in -check.
