The mfp app wasn't giving me a recalibrate option before. I think it's because my old weight loss info from years ago was throwing things off. When I used mfp for the first time approximately 4 years ago I was smaller than now. So the old weight log ins from those years ago was messing up mfp's calculation of my progress,…

Yeah I had not been recalibrating every 10 lbs. I only recently sorted out the problem with my weight loss ticker on here. I used mfp a few years ago and then quit. So when I started using it again, all my old info was still in there. So up until a couple weeks ago, it was only showing that I lost 7 lbs, instead of the…

I was weighing. And since I immediately started losing again after I manually adjusted my calories, that leads me to believe I'm weighing properly. Edited to add: I figured I'd have to recalibrate my calories at some point in my weight loss journey, I just never expected it to be so soon. Especially since I'm still so…

Thanks you guys for the quick responses. I figured the weekly total would be helpful since sometimes I overeat a little a day or two out of the week. It hasn't seemed to stop my weight loss, but I guess it's because I'm still within my limit by the end of the week.

Hmm I was reading some other threads (granted they were from last year) that made it seem like there was some number the mfp app gives you. Oh well, guess not.

I'm not sure how much I was eating before I started calorie counting. I might have been undereating like Orphia said. Since I didn't log the first 2-3 weeks of actively trying to lose weight, I can't be sure. I do know that prior to trying to lose I could easily eat over 3,000 calories a day. Probably closer to over 4,000…

I'm not against getting a food scale. I just don't know when I'll be able to get one. (Jobless, full-time college student). I'll definitely do some research and save up for one though. But I did read the the other posts. I guess I'm just paranoid because I didn't expect to see a setback this early on. Most of my life has…

I'm a little too embarrassed to say what my weight is. And while I don't have a food scale, most of the stuff I'm eating is store bought, so I can see the number of calories on it. And yes, I'm taking serving size into account. The fruits and vegetables I eat I can only measure with measuring cups. What bothers me the most…
