    5 pounds is 2.5 lbs/week. That's a daily deficit of 1,250 calories. Unless your TDEE is above 2,450, that's a very low calorie diet. MFP does not promote (or allow) very low calorie diets.

    That's for the best. Good luck!

    Don't get discouraged if you can't quite hit 3 lbs, either. Depending on how much you have to lose, it can be REALLY slow going!!

    Here are some good guidelines to shoot for.

    More than 75 lbs. 2 lbs./week
    40-75 lbs. 1.5 lbs./week
    10-40 lbs. 1 lb./week
    Less than 10 lbs. 0.5 lb./week

    Ok, so we'll see how this goes. My morning weight this morning was 150.8.
