i am always going over my fat content listed on mfp. Is this delaying my fat loss?

    Remember that if you eat a lot of high fat food it just means you have less to eat to hit your calorie limit. 1g of protein or carbs is 4 calories, 1g of fat is 9 cals.

    But, as long as you make that calorie deficit, no, it doesn't matter. :)

    Just remember, like they say, it's not a sprint. It's a marathon. Doing it the right way, which sometimes takes longer, will help make it last and keep you healthy. You got this, sister!

    I've been on two plateaus along the way, both lasted a full month. Remember that you didn't gain weight overnight so don't expect to lose it quickly either. Just stick to it and keep working.
