Did I set up my profile correctly?

When I originally started on MFP, I had set up my profile to try to lose 2 lbs a week. I chose the sedintary selection as I sit at a desk most of the day and was working out at least 3 days a week. My goal was around 1500 calories. Once I hit a plateau after losing 40 lbs I changed the profile to 1 lb a week and I'm exercising 2 to 3 days a week but I will be increasing that to 5 days a week and my calorie goal is a little over 2,000 calories. Does that sound like a reasonable setting for me? My weight is between 247-250 and I am looking to lose at least 40-50 more lbs to hit my goal. Any help, suggestions, or new friends and supporters appreciated!

    Sounds reasonable to me, keep up the great work.

    Ok, thanks. I'm at the point where I'm questioning it because I was doing so well and then I stopped losing weight. I know it happens, but then my discipline and motivation started going right out the window. I've reeled it back in so hopefully I can get over this hump.

    I mess with my calories every month or so. Keeps me on my toes :). I've never really plateaued (only been stuck at the same weight for two weeks at most then I lose again), and I think it's because of that. :) You got this!!!
