    I had to drop my calories from 1300 to 1000, I wasn't losing anything after 15 days. I am back on track. Please consult your Dr because I have a nutrition plan etc set up and had my metabolic rate tested.

    I'm female and 54 years old. I started on March 11 at 225lb. MFP recommended 1290 calories for me with my activity set at lightly active. I indicated that I wanted to lose 2lbs/week. I lost 4lbs the first week. I don't expect that great of a loss every week. If it happens, I'll up my calories so that I'm consistently (with metabolic fluctuations) losing 2lbs/week.

    I have approximately 56.8 pounds left until my goal. I've lost 21.4 pounds so far following the calorie goal given by MFP (1280 calories a day) and I eat all my exercise calories back. I have successfully lost 14 out of the past 15 weeks...the one week I didn't lose was Valentine's Day/my bday week hehe. I have it set to lose 1.5 pounds a week. I think MFP is a perfect tool for me! I don't have a goal date in mind and I just go day by day and try to do the best that I can with mini goals along the way.

    I'm 5'9, set to sedentary and the daily caloric goal originally set by MFP was 1590. I'm down 17 lbs and my revised daily goal is now 1510. I have 28 lbs to go so I expect further downward revisions in my daily allotment.

    It took some adjusting to eating less but I have lost slightly more than a pound a week (on average) since starting 12/21/18.
