Using MFP for a while now, I'm loving it and I'm really in the zone. I think the success is down to keeping track of everything, but especially the comments of support and encouragement from MFP friends. Please feel free to add and I will do the same. It really does help. x

  • Hi Everyone.
    I am new to MFP, I started 4 days ago and I am on 1200 calories a day and I burn about 350-450 calories a day.
    My question is do I need to consume all of my calorie allowance as well as my exercise allowance
    I have lost 2 pounds this week.
    Thanks in advance.:love::love: :love: .

    Yes, otherwise you'd only be on roughly 800 net calories which means your body would go into starvation mode and it would be really difficult to lose weight, and your metabolism would really suffer. Eat your 1200 PLUS your exercised calories!!!
