    If you set your weight goal on MFP to lose .5-2 lbs. and eat the amount of calories it recommends, you will lose weight even without exercise.

    It's not so much about how much you're eating, though it does factor in, but more about WHAT you're eating. All the weight I've lost so far is a result of a correction in diet from nutritionally devoid processed foods to nutrient rich whole foods. I'm only now starting to factor in exercise to continue my weight loss. While eating fewer calories will result in pounds being shed, consuming the correct calories make it seem effortless.
