    mitch16: I'm 5'5", 133.6 lbs. I've lost from 137 lbs. in a week. I've never had to watch my weight or what I ate, but with age... the pounds won't budge more than a pound or two then back up. I've always been in the low to mid 120 lbs., so to me, this weight is too much.

    OP, with only 15 lbs to lose, you should be losing no more than 1 lb per week (some would actually say only one-half lb per week). So set your goal in MFP to that, and get your calorie goal. That is the most important number for weight loss. Then set your macros (carbs/protein/fat) however you want - I'm not going to get into that boondoggle :wink: Be patient, learn as you go, and good luck!
