ok. when I first started... before mfp... I wasn't counting calories... I was just eating much better and exercising at least 5 days a week (cardio mainly).... and I lost steadily for a few weeks (water weight I'm sure). then I started tracking my calories... and continued to lose... (just slower)... until I hit a 3 week plateau. After the 3 weeks I spent one week NOT counting... and dropped 3 lbs that week. So now I haven't been counting calories or logging food. and have been losing about 1 lb a week (except last week and this week... but thats my eating choices im sure..) I've been thinking about starting to log again... but I'm wondering if I wasn't eating enough calories. MFP has me set at 1410. When I calculate my BMR on other sites... it says its around 2000-2200. So if I took the 500 calories out... that would put me at 1500-1700.


Questions... Comments... Concerns... lol

Everyones bodys are different and maybe your body needs a few more calories to help the burning process. I say try the 1500-1700 for a week or 2 and see what happens. If you dont try it you wont know. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
