Double digit loser

tgdillon

Yep, I am a proud member of the double digit loser club. Granted it's only the beginning but I'm proud of myself for sticking with it; 36 days so far. Since I just entered the double digit world, MFP asked me if I wanted to adjust my goals. I changed it to lose 1.5 pounds a week vs 1 and work out 4 times vs 3 and now it reduced my calorie intake. Is that good or bad? I'm feeling anxious about it.

If what you was doing was working well for you plus your increasing exercise, I'd probably keep with the calories you were having. Wouldn't go lower.

Food, goals tab, change goals, manual... Change it back to what you had it at. I know I've kept mine the same. If losses slow a little im ok with that. I'd rather that, than feel it's not enough food for me.

With only having 40 pounds to go, I would keep your goal at losing 1 pound a week.

Congrats on your success so far!

I have adjusted constantly Id ropped the pounds a week reduced the calories increased the exercise. Somethings worked some didnt and I readjusted to keep losing in the beginning I was losing 1.5 a week and have dropped that 2x which keep calories burned number a little higher I now aim for 3 or 4 pounds a month max so this for me is about developing and adjusting my lifestyle so I dont ever feel I cant live this way for the rest of my life.

Good job! I think if I keep it at 1 pound a week, then if I lose more, it's a bonus.
