    Hey and welcome. Are you exercising? If so then you should be netting, after exercise calories burnt, your NET GOAL of 1300 calories. Doing this, you could average a 2lb weight loss per week for a while, then readjust later on. Weight your food on a scale and be honest with yourself with what you are actually eating and drinking. This forum is a great resource.

  • thanks for welcoming me! I am not currently exercising. When I joined MFP just a few minutes ago I completed the diary and weight and weight goal section and I filled out that I would commit to excising 3 days a week starting out, but I will increase those days monthly as well as the time I would work out each day.
