    Firstly, well done on your current loss. That is amazing. Well done man.

    Secondly, MFP has millions of users and many of them have been incredibly successful. If you are consistent, flexible and patient I am sure you can be as well.

    Thirdly, I would recommend you double check some entries in the database when you are entering them into your food diary as they can be a little off. If you can use a food scale to get more accuracy that will serve you well.

    Fourthly, MFP is designed in a way that you are supposed to "eat back" the calories you burn from exercise but sometimes the figures can be rather inflated. I would recommend eating back between 50% - 75% of them and see how you go unless you know with some degree of certainty how to calculate this is accuracy.

    Fifthly, there is no fifthly. Go smash it!

    Whatever the above poster said.
    Also, make sure to read the stickies in the forum in each section. There's good information by many successful people.
    Amazing job! And go get those last 10! :smile:

    Thank you very much for the compliment and thank you for the great reply i wondered about the macros though kept mine on 30 carb 30 fat en 40 protein think it will work that way.

    Good job on the loss!
    You have to be very strict with entering everything but if you stick with it, can be very good. I prefer to track my workouts than food
