No I would stay at the calories per day that it says (1840). You only lost a lb because you did not sort of exercise, you focused more on the meal aspect of it. Don't get discouraged you can do it!!0 -
OK, thanks! I did exercise last week, but not as much as I plan on this week:)0

Contrary to the norm, I usually don't lose much my first week either. If you lost a lb with that high of a calorie level, I'd keep doing that! 1 lb. is great.0
