    First of all, everyone is absolutely correct...of all the diets and lifestyle changes I have made, MFP is by far the best I've ever uesed.

    When you set your goals, us the recommended....let them figure it for you. They take your current weight, your goals (2 lbs per week, 1 lb per week, etc) and your lifestye....then figure the amoung of calories you need to burn your goal. They also figure your BMR, which is essential to set your daily caloirc intake. It is important to eat your calories. I started out WAY below the recommendation...when i started eating closer to the daily allotment, I began to see results. I know you are supposed to eat your exercise calories, too...I don't normally do this, but remember that I do have them on special occassions. I know that it doesn't make sense to eat all your calories....we've spent our life giong below calories....and that obviously didn't work or we wouldn't be here...LOL:)

    You have made the first step...asking for help. Regardless of the length of time you have been trying to lose weight, we all have experiences on what worked for us & what didn't. And what you read on here are only suggestions. You have to find what wokrs for you!~and stick to it:) Good luck!!!! And I am very proud & excited for you!
