I'm 31f/5'8, 240 pounds. I have mfp set a 1lb a week, but I am not going to add in my exercise calories. I've just started working out so I am not burning many calories through that right now. Is what I'm doing okay?

    'Slow and steady wins the race' - having set your cals to lose 1lb a week you'll find you'll be more likely to stick to the plan as you wont feel deprived.
    Remember you can eat back some of those exercise calories as well.

    All the best. :smile:
