I input my food for the day and stick pretty close to it if not right on. I make adjustments during the day. I just finished my T25 workout and will walk tonight 1.5-2 miles with the dog. My fitbit is paired to myfitnesspal so it records and adjusts the exercise. I am not losing weight at all. Need help understanding the net.

    How long have you been doing MFP?

    What do you weigh? If you don't mind me asking?

    Food you eat - Exercise = Net calories

    If you're using MFP as is, you should eat some of your exercise calories back.

    Do we have to eat it all back or is there a minimum net calorie intake we should be meeting in order to loose weight safely?

    Minimum net should be 1200 for women, below this you are causing your body SERIOUS damage. Also, if you're netting 1200 everyday then you should have one day per week where you net slightly more as it stops your metabolism slowing down and stops you wanting to give up
