    Don't use MFP calorie settings, they are too generic and cause you to under eat. Be sure to eat your BMR plus TDEE minus 15%

    In my case, MFP is right on target. Not sure why some people say this.

    " You will never regret going to your workout, but you will always regret missing it"

    Love this post, thanks OP.

    I agree with the calorie adjustment, MFP set me to 1200 but I manually changed it to 1440 and am losing.

    My tips:
    Drink lots of water, weigh your food so you know exactly how many calories you are eating, log everything, don't overestimate your exercise, measure yourself as well as weighing yourself, support and motivate your MFP pals and they will do the same to you and remember that if you have a bad day then its ok, just get straight back on it. This is a lifestyle change and a long process but its a healthier journey and as each lb comes off or inch is lost - it makes you feel really damn good :smile:

    Good luck :flowerforyou:

    I cut out a lot of different drinks down to just drinking water and coffee! I'm sure that's helped because I used to love drinking sweet tea, flavored drinks, & soda!

    Lucky for you. MFP put my BMR at 1200 but when I had a professional BMR test done it came to 1700 - way off from MFP settings

    PATIENCE! :)

    and take measurements and progress pictures... because the scale will not always be your friend. even when you've been doing "everything right."

    here's some good newbie threads (some MFP, some not)

    Fuel your body. Don't avoid fat....almonds, peanut butter, olive oil, eggs are foods I eat all the time. I eat plenty and often. Oh, and I just got one, but a HRM is a great investment. Recently realized I was overestimating calorie burns my about 40% in most cases.
