in Getting Started
So I had originally lost 30 pounds on weight watchers but over the course of this last year and staring a new medication I gained it all back. I'm trying FP to see if I can get it off and was wondering how others have been successful. It says in order to loss 1-2 pounds I should be eating 1350-1590 calories seems like a lot. Is it really possible to lose weight eating almost 1600 calories?

    It probably has that much because you put that you were active. If you are going to be burning some calories then yes, very easy to lose eating that much. I too an starting over and am back on MFP. It works if you stay with it. Good luck, and friend me if you'd like!

    I'm kind of starting over too. I was up to 215 after my daughter was born. I did weight watchers and got down to 185, but then over the last year gained 5 pounds back even while doing the program. So I thought I would switch things up a bit. I'm 190 now and hoping to lose 1-2 lbs a week. Check you settings, you might have your activity listed as active. I put down light activity, but I'm being conservative. I own a business so some days I'm sitting behind a desk all day and others I'm on my feet none stop. I also put down that I plan to workout 3 days per week, but I hope to do get at least 4.
