I need help plz anyone new to this :)

Fill out the information in correctly here and get your logging under control. Depending on what you normally do every day it is hard to say what you should do for exercise. Start out slow, and work your way up. If you lose over 2 lbs per week, you need to change your activity setting.
The system will calculate how many calories you should consume each day, based on your activity setting (active, not-active) and how many pounds per week you have it set up to lose.

@trcsho Also, be mindful of how MyFitnessPal does things. I am the first to admit that I was clueless when I first started using the forums......

MFP are very much "Calories in | Calories out". So, you put in your details (gender, age, height, weight, goals) and MFP will give you a Caloric Number. That is Calories In. You also need to add your "exercises" so that MFP will have an idea of "Calories Out".

I have to admit that I do not use MFP for this (I will indeed give it a legit try sometime in the future) so I can not give you specific examples for this.

A very popular concept in here is that you 'eat half of your exercise calories back'. Maybe - if you have questions - someone can answer those additional questions for you. I would gladly, but like I said, I do not use MFP for that so I would be the wrong person to answer those questions......

I hope that this helps you additionally.

Also, something that I stress to everyone - no matter the 'formula' that one is using - is that these tools are just tools. They are a good starting point. Nothing more. Meaning, if you (and I am going to totally make up numbers for this example....and they are going to be clearly outlandish....just to avoid confusion) consume 5,000 Calories a day and your exercise such that you burn 1,000 Calories a day (accoring to MFP) then your are at 4,000 Calories. Let's just say that is your maintenance (according to MFP).

Okay...so that is nice. Now, let's see how it (the number crunching via the 'formula') applies to you.

So, since this is 'maintenance' then you should not be gaining weight and you should not be loosing weight. But, let's say that you are actually loosing weight. Let's just say one pound. Forgive the pounds and ounces. I do not know the translation to the UK system of Stones.

So, if you are loosing weight (one pound a week) then that means that you are in a caloric deficit. So, you are burning more than you are eating. In other words, Calories Out exceeds Calories In at the moment. The formula was pretty close and pretty amazing, but a little bit off for you. So, you would know that you need either to eat a little bit more or to burn a little less!

So, please do not take the numbers that MFP - or any "calculator" - gives you as the end-all, be-all for you. Like I stated, the numbers will likely be a good starting point. Then you need to put in the work to make that final adjustment to find out your true numbers. I mean, you could take 10 women, all with the same stats and give them the same numbers and there will likely be slight to noticeable changes in each of them.

Congratulations and welcome to the website. The most important thing you have to realize is that to lose weight you don't have to exercise. It's just a matter of eating less calories than your body Burns and you will lose weight with or without exercise.

Set a realistic goal for losing the weight approximately 1 to 2 pounds per week and just follow the calorie guidelines it will work. Exercise will accelerate the process but it's not the main source of weight loss. The calorie reduction is.

Now that being said exercise has other great benefits which are physical mental and spiritual that can't be overlooked
