    Hi. I'm trying to lose about 56lbs and started off with a 7lb weight loss first week, nothing second week, 1lb third week. I am eating between 1000 and 1200 calories most days, and walking, earning an extra 300 to 400 calories a day which I am not eating. I had hoped my weight loss would be quicker! Any suggestions please as to why the loss is greater? I am definitely exercising portion control! Thank you.:smile:

    Use MFP as designed.

    Reach your goal, don't fail, that means over is better than under.

    Eat your exercise credit to maintain the deficit you already have in your daily goal.

    Use as the tool was designed for 4-6 weeks and then see where you are.

    So just to emphasis what you already saw for yourself - bigger deficit is NOT better, it'll backfire, sooner or later, and you'll be attempting this again.
