    Hi Heather, I been at this for awhile, fell off the bandwagon and got back on in the last month or so. It's really very simple, put your macros (weight/height/activity level) into the app or webpage and it will tell you the calories you should eat a day. Try not to go too much below that number or else it could make you sick. Exercise of course helps and will speed up the weight loss. I wish you the best of luck in your journey, and remember to never give up if this is what you really want.

    Hi! I'm Melanie. There's a learning curve to eating a balanced diet and being active on a daily basis. Read, learn and try! You'll find what suits you best.
    I log everyday and I message friends who don't show up in a while. Feel free to add me :)

    Weight/height/activity level would be her stats. Macros (macronutrients) are carbs, protein and fat. MFP sets them at 50% carbs, 30% fat, 20% protein. You can play around with those numbers depending on your workout routine and goals. Lowering the carbs a bit and increasing the proteins (ex.: 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein), paired with strenght training will help reev your metabolism and burn more fat.
