I currently get 1720 per day, but I'm also a guy and weigh 261 lbs. I have mine set to lose 2 lbs. per week and I adjust it every time the scale goes down. I do not eat back the calories I earn when I exercise, although some people say you should.

Sorry...I posted this in my introduction as well.

My name is Mike. I started MFP (again) on January 4th this year and I was 311 lbs. I have lost 50 lbs so far, which is normal for me. I tend to lose the first 40-50 very easily. I think I've reached my first plateau and have been stuck at 261 for a several days now. The trick is to keep doing what I've been doing and not…

Does anyone else want to do this for April?

Congrats! Having your husband on board helps a lot.

I had been off and on for the last few years...lose a little, gain more back. Got on the scale January 4th this year and saw 311.

I am 40 years old and 6'3" tall. SW : 311 lbs on January 4, 2015 CW : 261 lbs as of today GW : 200, but not sure still. I may wait and see how I feel around the 225 mark.

Crawfish boil tomorrow with a beer or two. Trick is to not go TOO crazy...

Welcome back! I joined last year as well and did really good for 3-4 months. Then I fell off the wagon hard and gained it all back plus some. I started back on January 4th this year and I am down 47 lbs as of this morning. Good luck to you! Mike

Congrats! Seeing your success keeps me motivated!!!

Congrats to you! Beer is a huge weakness of mine as well. There's normally no such thing as 1 or 2 beers. I normally drink 3-4 just while grilling, then 2-3 more while eating. Same with wine...if I drink some, it's the whole bottle instead of a glass. I started cutting back January 4th of this year and have already dropped…

If you go to http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings, you can change the names of your meals. There are six spaces, so you could maybe rename them Day Shift Meal 1, Day Shift Meal 2, Day Shift Meal 3, Night Shift Meal 1, Night Shift Meal 2, Night Shift Meal 3. I find it's easier to plan out my meals ahead of…
