Hi,I posted this in a news feed too,but think that was maybe the wrong place?
Wondering if anyone can put me right here please?? I am in my 2nd week of using MFP and really liking it. I want to lose 20lbs (probably should lose around 25 -30 but 20 seems fine for starters). My calorie allowance is 1200 (to aim for 2lb loss per week). I only lost 1lb last week and weigh again tomorrow. Having read lots of info on the site, I decided I should change my weekly weight loss goal to 1lb a week so that I ensure I eat enough calories, but disappointingly my calorie allowance stays the same!! Can someone help me to understand how that works please? Most of the posts I have read suggest a slight increase of calorie intake is better than trying for the most dramatic weight loss, so I'm unsure why my allowance is unchanged?
