hi

First, 2lbs a week is the recommended maximum weight loss - and that's only if you have quite a lot to lose. If you don't have much to lose, you shouldn't lose as fast.

Second, there's not really a "plan". Eat the amount of calories MFP gives you and if you want to exercise do what you enjoy. It's really that simple.

If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal
If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal

Set the appropriate goal from above into MFP, and give MFP your height and weight.

Then weigh and log all the food you eat. Eat whatever you feel like eating but stay under your calorie limit, trying to get as close to the limit as possible without going over.

Do whatever exercise makes you happy, but make sure you eat back 50-75% of your exercise calories to fuel your body appropriately.

Do this, and you will lose weight sustainably and healthily. Best wishes!

You are doing very well. Make sure that you are eating enough protein and fats/ oils.
