    Depeding on your calorie intake you can lower or raise it by 250. If your eating too far under defecit and then also working out your body won't let you lose weight it will basically be holding onto every little thing you give it to try and sustain.

    Good to know! I wasn't really understanding why MFP wanted me to up my calories from 1200 after losing some of the weight.

    1200 calories is barely enough to sustain an 8 year old child

    Very good to know, I think I'm on the 1000 to 1200 range I will eat like 4 or 5 small meals a day. So I probably need to change that right? And cardio I'll do only twice a week and the rest I'll do at home. But I have gone from 201 down to 148 in a 8 month period but the problem is that I have never weight trained so I feel like everything is loose now :(

    I am using these shakes and it is working great! Http://EricaGoms.myvi.net. Def weight training is a must! It will help you burn more fat while resting as well as during a workout. :)
