    You go by the number that MFP gave you.....If you don't lose anything in 4 weeks then adjust it

    Like Megan said, use what MFP gave you and see where you're at in 4-6 weeks. I'll add that it will require you to weigh and track your food accurately in order to get solid data. Also, MFP can only work with the information you give it.

    By eating to it and watching the scale.

    This place is full of tens of thousands of people who've lost weight. Any kept it off. We all did it by eating fewer calories than we burned, all of us. It works, and it'll work for you.
