Why is that, how do you know? That's a bummer!

OP, if you go under goals it will give you a chart with the calories needed to maintain, the deficit it gives you and how much you can expect to lose on 2 pounds a week. For example, with 40 pounds to lose I have mine set to 1 pound a week. If I set mine to 1.5 or 2 pounds a week it will give me the 1200 minimum but it…

Thanks! I know, I've been told! Although I'm not sure why...I feel like if I set it to 2 per week, I'll see more results even if I don't meet it exactly. Whereas a .5 goal might not not be aggressive enough and may result in a 0 loss that week. I dunno, I'm clearly not an expert! I'm so motivated, I want to keep up this…

This will work for me :p I worked out and treated myself to a Starbucks!!

Thanks to you both! And I'm so happy to know I'll still be in a deficit, phew! My workouts consist of high intensity interval training at Orange Theory. We all wear HRM, that shows HR and calories burned. If you have an Orange Theory near you, check it out, it's an awesome workout!! I set up MFP for a 2lb loss per week for…

That's an interesting way to look at it. Yesterday and today, my produce is about 220 cal and I'm on 1200 cal per day. Plus my workouts last 2 days burned 500+. I ended up under my allotment yesterday, but only b/c of the gym.

Lol! <3 Here's a hug!

That is a good tip. I am logging everything now. Tomorrow will start my 2nd week and I'll be doing it properly now that I've got a better idea of how it all works. I am looking forward to results -already down 1.6lbs! Thank you for the advice

Wow, congrats on the 14 lbs! I can't wait to be able to say that!! Thanks for the tips.

Got it, thanks so much for the description.

I relate to your laid-back approach. Glad to know I can build-in some flexibility. Thanks!

Im Thank you so much for the link!! This will help me a lot!

I've just burned over 500 cal at the gym which now I have 848 cal left for the whole day! That is really motivating to get more calories to work with during the day. I'm 5'7 and on 1200 cal per day with 20 lbs to lose. Goal is 130[/quote] You only have 20 pounds to lose, IMO your goal is too aggressive. I'd change your…

Than Wow, that's wonderful! I'm sure you've worked very hard at that loss and it's inspiring! Thank you for your post and I do really appreciate the help and advice! Yep, I'm new and so far this week is a bust. I wasn't logging properly and I've just learned some new things. This is a training week so I'll mean business…

Thanks for this post, that was helpful! I'm totally going to save calories for the weekends :D

Ahhhhhhhh-haaaaaaa!!! And will the app show you somewhere how many extra calories you have in the bank?

Yes, this is how I see myself splurging. I can see making this work. I have to be a better planner!

I like the idea of pre-planning my splurge days. I didn't know about the weekly deficit thing so I will look into that- thanks!

Funny! Thanks Vada44 for understanding and not judging! I did mention I'm new at this right?! Tracking everything to fit into 1200 cal is hard right now but hopefully in another week it will be liked second nature. At least I'm gong that workouts add a bunch of calories back in!

Damn bananas! Can't live without them and I have not counted one. Makes perfect sense that my body is counting it so I should too. Got it folks :) BUT, I have only just started so I haven't failed yet...I can do this! I'm going try to stay within 1200 cal today with all of the produce. I should mention that I workout at…

Thanks for all the replies - I hadn't thought of the reason why WW could allow for the free F&V before. Makes sense. My goal is 20lbs, I'm not overweight according to the Dr. but close. 1200 cal is what MFP set for me with 1.5 lbs per week. I'll count everything from now on and revisit my calorie allotment in a few days.…

Wow, that's really great!! How did you lose the 8? What is the 30-day shred? I'm not sure about what adding people does, nor do I know how to add someone

How much have you lost so far and how'd you do it? And how do I add you?!

Ok! How do I add you?!
