    How often do you weigh yourself?

    Keep weighing and recording your foods. Walking is great exercise. Set realistic goals. I set my mfp to lose 1 lb a week. Sometimes I lose more than that though.

    I personally find if I set it to lose more than 1 lb that I get too hungry and can’t stick with it. You have to determine what settings work best for you though. Also, remember that exercise calories are just estimates (I subtract about 20% off whatever the app says I burned so that I don’t accidentally over eat). Eat back some or all of your exercise calories, again it’s going to take some trial and error to see what works for you.

    You need about 4-6 weeks of data to review your progress properly.

    For information on accurate logging and using MFP to it's full potential. Read the Stickies (Most Helpful Post thread pinned at the top of each board).

    If you should be eating 2500 calories then eat them. Make sure you learn what you need to learn about logging like using a food scale and personally verifying that the MFP database entries you select have the correct calorie information. This includes green checked items and scanned barcodes.

    Start making notes of how the day is going or has gone for you. Pay attention to your hunger. If you have an easy day start looking at ways of replicating it. If you have a hard day look for ways to make it easier. Make your goal the PROCESS of losing weight not whatever happens on the scale. You have to keep refining your process so that you can stick to it even on the "blah" days. You can't find out from us what you need to be doing when it comes to self management. We can give you ideas but you have to experiment. The exact details of what has worked for me will unlikely work for you.
