Hello and welcome.

Welcome. MFP has become an obsession for me when tracking my meals and macros. Although I meet, exceed or don't meet some of my macros; I'm still losing an average of 1 to 1.5 lbs a week. Consequently, my weight loss has been slow and steady which is the best way. Replacing coffee with oolong and green tea has helped a lot as well as following this simple and most effective rule: 80% Clean Diet + 20% Exercise = WEIGHT LOSS!

Last, there are no shortcuts! Creating a calorie deficit (through moderate calorie restriction and increase in physical activity) is the only way to lose weight. Any plan that does not require sacrifice is unrealistic and leads to failure.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!
