To all the MFP members - newbies or not:

Eat!

Eat to your calorie goal. Eat back your exercise calories. Use MFP as it was designed to be used.

Only consuming 400-700 calories a day is not going to get you anywhere fast. Dieting is not like golf - the lowest number doesn't always win.

And, if you want to take it a step further, do some reading and educate yourself about what your body needs:

    I'm glad you're my friend. You rock. And may I just add: If you are losing weight eating so few calories, you will pay for it down the road. Your body is not designed to operate on this few calories.

    Read the Road Map and learn. Learn and be healthy. :flowerforyou:
