    Welcome to MFP! I joined this year and I have lost 16 lbs, a little over half of my goal. I weighed 275 and I trying to get down to 245 by Dec. It works if you want it to work. You have to make sure you check-in daily so your friends can see that you have been active and eating right. Feel free to add me. Do you use any fitness device to track your exercise activities?

    Connect your accounts at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/fitbit

    Set your goal to .5 lb. per week for every 25 lbs. you're overweight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided

    Enable negative calorie adjustments: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

    In the MFP app, go to More (Menu) > Steps and choose Fitbit.

    Ignore your Fitbit calorie goal and follow MFP's, eating back your adjustments. No need to log any step-based activity—your Fitbit is tracking it for you. Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both. Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time.

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users
