Anyone only looking to lose 1lb a week? I seem to have higher calories than some of my MFP and I think it's because they are set to 2+ (which not a knock at them! I think that's great and super dedicated!)

I just know I need to be able to eat not completely healthy/clean because if I don't live a little I'll revert back. Let's be friends if you're in the same boat :)

    Losing 1 lb a week at 1560, only some of it is "healthy" stuff, lol. And I laze around more than I too. Add me if you want.

    I've just changed my goal to half a pound a week, two months of 1260 Cals (with many many cheat days) is enough for me. 1490 cals is luxurious now! I dont even care that the loss will slow down, ive been hovering around 148 for a few weeks now so I'm trying the slow and steady approach and so far I'm liking it.

    I'm the lose in chunks type which makes it seem very slow at times :) I can go 3+ weeks without the scale moving and then check the next day and be down 7 lbs. My body makes me earn it and exercise patience!

    I'm on my feet a lot, so when I'm working 2lb a week calories feel like 1lb a week calories for when I'm not working. Slow and steady or I'll fall off the wagon! :)

    My goal is also 1 lb a week overall. I have been counting calories for 24 weeks and I have lost 30 lbs. so far. Nothing wrong with slow and steady!

    Feel free to add me. I've lost 15 lbs. Weigh 149 and am 5'2 and aiming for half pound a week which is doable. I don't weigh in often. Looking to loose 5 more pounds. I'm super active, workout with weights and some cardio and stay at 1600 calories a day. Slow and steady for sure but have plateau and it's kinda frustrating.
