If those calories are right you will still be losing weight, given 1500 and a sedatenary life style will result in weight loss.
So you are in mid 20s now?
Be careful generalizing that for everyone. As mentioned before, you're healthy and in your 20's.... Someone in their 30-40's who has been carrying extra weight for a long period of time will not find it easy to drop that weight.
If i'm taking on so little calories i'm not sure why i'm not dead yet...

How did you measure it, calipers, underwater weighing?
I've literally got no idea how many calories I'd burn in a 2-hour session.Any ideas how to work this out or ball-park figure?

I only use the one in work which you grasp the handles, also use a scale type body fat calculator. Neither are accurate I know but it give's me a rough idea.

There is no point loosing weight super quick unless you want to trim up for a specific trip
There's been a lot of talk about calories, but very little about sleep and stress and the impact those have on weight loss.
On the subject of calorie counters, how do you calculate an hourly average calorie burn off for bouldering?
has there been a decision yet on whether campusing can lead to increased weight loss?
As a middle-aged man who does a sedentary job, over the last few years I've found a Ketogenic diet a very effective way of losing a lot of weight fairly quickly. I also feel much better day to day with little to no carbs in my system. I don't think it's a good choice over the long term but for shifting weight it's extremely effective.

I mentioned this back on the last page. I get a figure of 800ish calories burnt for one hour of climbing. I use this figure for a 3-hour session but really this could be a whiole hamburger out.
I think the consensus is that they are useful for seeing changes over time, but are not good indicators of the actual body fat level. So good for monitoring whether diet and exercise is working but not to compare to others. The Omron scales seem to be recommended the most (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0033AGBVG/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001N064JW&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0X1W6HETHZ8B0GBEAEHY).Edit: I should add that I haven't used them!
Shit in my experience. Things like how hydrated you are are can change the reading a lot.We bought some and took them back, changed for an older model of these http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8334259.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=cgid:10847396225|tsid:41370|cid:147345665|lid:48710062385|nw:g|crid:36600229865|rnd:11683713641174560484|dvc:c|adp:1o2Still going strong after about 7 years use.
There is a quick way to loose half a stone of ugly fat.Cut your head off.
The evidence that excess consumption of refined sugars is damaging our health is now as clear as the case against tobacco. Nutritionally bankrupt products loaded with sugars have displaced the whole foods our bodies need. To tackle the preventable diet-related diseases that have reached epidemic proportions around the globe – obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancers – we simply need to eat less of them. But the vested economic interests of the food, drink and farming industries are blocking change. They lobby ferociously against attempts to set lower targets for consumption or restrict marketing or recalibrate subsidies. They have captured regulators so successfully that a guerrilla campaign is needed to speak directly to consumers. Leading the charge with Action on Sugar is cardiovascular expert Graham MacGregor, veteran of the successful campaign to force the food industry to reduce blood-pressure inducing levels of salt in its products. The fight against sugar will be much tougher and dirtier.
And why not? The chief concern of food companies is to make profit, not to give us healthy food to eat - that's a mistake lots of people make when they let themselves be deceived into thinking what they're eating is ok for them, based on what food companies tell them. Like anything in life, if you don't DYOR you can't really complain when you get screwed over. I think a lot of fat people are just victims of not being curious enough about what they're filling their faces with. And a lot of people aren't curious enough because they haven't got the time or money to be.
