New with Questions about MFP

karijoy

Hi! I'm new to MFP and have a couple questions. I've been using MFP for 4 days now and I really love it---I'm definitely going to use this tool. (Had to try it out first to make sure). A couple of questions for those of you who have been doing MFP for awhile:
1. When did you see results and how much are you losing per week? (I know what is healthy; just want to hear what real people are doing.)
2. How does the calorie deficit work? Can you save up calories for the weekend?
3. I am planning on exercising while using MFP as that is already a regular part of my lifestyle. But, just curious...anyone seeing results from MFP without any exercise at all?
Thanks for taking the time to answer this newbie's questions! Good luck to all of you!

I lose on average about 1.1 to 1.3lbs per week. I try to be as close to my goal as possible, some days I am under, some over, but as long as it averages out for the week I am okay.

I lost around 15 lbs without exercising at all. I just recently added running to my routine, but before that I wasn't really doing anything.

Welcome and good luck!
