I used MFP for quite a while and 1600 is both do-able - and works.

I started at 294lb in June and was at 238lb by Christmas. My 'allowance'

burned a
bit less.

I'm 262lbs and the best I've managed it to knock 4lbs off.

That is because you haven't scaled back the calories enough.

I'm going to try scaling back the calories a tiny bit

You need to scale them back a lot.

Upto a point - I have done that before and the problem is, overdone,
it's unsustainable - then you tend to go back to normal eating and get
fat again really fast,

Don't you just hate people who never put on weight, eat what they like
and are as thin as a rake? I've known a few in my lifetime.
