Ok so my tdee is 2530, and my bmr is 1632. So i decided that im gonna up my calories from 1200 and now it will be 1800. So i clicked custom goals, and i manually made it to be 1800 calories. but when i hit done it says my weight loss is only 0.7 pounds a week. so huh??? is mfp right?

They might be right but MFP said I would lose .7 per week as well and I have lost 1 lb per week. When I was eating 1200 and it said I would lose 2 lbs per week I lost an average of about 1 pound per week. So I am actually losing the same amount now that I am eating more. Only I had a plateaued on 1200.0

Hmm, thats very interesting, because mfp estimates a 2 pound loss for me a week. and it hasnt been like that at all. (alot less). Well i will try the upping calories thing and we'll see how that goes. thanks for the reply.0

No problem! Good luck!0 -
The real excitement comes if you are one of those people who closes their diary and MFP says you are going to gain weight!!! That's a real doozy to wrap your brain around and ignore!
Yes...you just ignore it if that happens. 0 -
Yup, mine tells me I'm going to gain at 1750 calories. We'll see! My math tells me I'm going to lose at the same rate as before 0.5 lb/week, but get to eat more!
