Hi! New here

Hi! My name is Em, 27 years old. First time trying MFP to lose some weight (10-15LBS)
Open to any tips and tricks! Trying to hold myself accountable without over restricting etc. Not understanding how Macros work on the app (honestly, or what macros are)
Cheers!

    OK guys - your Macros - short for Macronutrient - this is your Carbs, protein & fats - be sure your get enough protein & fats, adjust your carb intake to get your amount of calories you need for a slow weight loss. & Eat your veggies .
    You are looking to loose 10 -20 lbs so make it 1/2 lb maybe 1 lbs per week

    The only tips would be to find a sustainable routine, be patient . . . and with so little total to lose, plan to lose slowly, for best health and appearance results. Tricksy named diets, so-called hacks, extreme exercises: Completely unnecessary, and often unsustainable. Wishing you success!
