Hey girls!
I'm great amn't I - joining up & then not being on! I have been following mfp though and am 9 lbs down since I restarted in January.
Welcome AM & well done on week1. I find 1200 too restrictive to be honest as I found it doesn't allow for any treats/takeaway nights. So I aim for 1500 a day and consistently lose about 5-6 lbs per month at that. I felt that for me it was more sustainable than the lower number!

Deer wedding that's really annoying about the scales :-( I hope the true number's somewhere between the two so you're not too discouraged.

Well done amc! You're doing great. The key I think is just keep going and don't think "it's only a pound" - it all adds up! I'm down 60 lbs + since having DD2 a year ago and found mfp just brilliant - it works and is sustainable because you're not on any fad diet and just making some better choices with food & portions. I also find it motivates me to exercise so that I can "earn" more calories!! One other very nice thing I find with mfp is that I feel no guilt enjoying the odd takeaway/glass of wine/meal out because I know that I can balance it out over the week. Best of luck and keep going!
