HI there everybody, first of all congrats on all of your successes so far. When you set up your program do most of you pick to lose 1 pound a week (the recommended) or 1 1/2 or more? I have chosen the 1/12 which still gives me 1320 calories for the day. Just wondering what the norm was. Also do you eat your exercise calories earned?
Thanks in advance,
Nancy

    I think the norm for everyone will be a little different. I set mine to 2 pounds a week and I eat 1200 calories a day. I do not eat my exercise calories but that could just me me. Good luck with your journey!

    I am new too, and have chosen 1 1/2 lbs per week, that gives me 1500 calories per day. I find that I use the exercise points on the day after I go over my calorie limit. I think of it as a reminder to get moving instead of a reward for exercising. This is my first ever attempt to lose weight, and I'm trying to drop 20 lbs. The first week I lost 7 lbs. with the program.
