Okay Okay!! My first week has been awesome on MFP! I am down 2 lb and I couldn't be happier!
Now I am getting the hang of eating my calories I am trying to balance that with not going over my protien and especially carbs and fat! any suggestions on this matter or should I just continue to maintain my calories and when I stop losing weight worry about that? :huh: :huh:

Congrats on your success!
When talking about weight loss, it is all about burning/using more than you consume. If you are diabetic or on a resricted diet it would seem important to track those things(carbs, fat, protein). I have focused on eating healthier and it seems to be easier to stay in my calorie guidelines that way. I don't lokk at ir as dieting per se, but a way of life. If you are eating healthy you should be getting what you need, that is my very unproffesional opinion If you do decide you want to start keeping track, I would suggest you give yourself a few more weeks, just to get used to staying in the guidelines, logging, etc.
