    Perfect timing for me to find this topic.
    I have been doing a half A** job since returning from vacation in April then another mini vacay in May.
    I am up 2 pounds so just this morning I changed my goal settings to NO exercise, and 1 pound per week.
    I will be exercising ( walk 3 miles 5 x per week) but thought maybe changing things up might kickstart my metabolism???
    No idea. Gotta try something.
    Good Luck to you, no matter how slow it goes DONT EVER GIVE UP !

    I'm set up for 1lbs a week. I wanted to work my way into a healthy lifestyle I can stick with. I felt restricting my calories too much would feel more like a diet than a lifestyle. When I 1st started MFP gave me 1430 calories now it has me at 1310. I find it a easy transition i can live with.

    I started out at 2 lbs. per week, and because this would dip my daily calories to under 1200, MFP set it at 1.9 pounds per week, or something close. Then, after vacation, I went through this phase where I was hungry after I had met or slightly exceeded my calorie goal, so I changed it to 1.5 lbs per week... it now allows me 1400 calories, which is much better for me, and it seems I'm losing that or a little better weekly.
