@spagano8888 first and foremost congratulations on your first step towards a healthier you. IMHO, the MFP system works. Like you, I have a lot of weight to lose. I've been at it for 4 months and am down 58 lbs. When I started this journey, the goal that MFP set for me was 3270. This is based on all my individual factors.…

You need to have Patience!! It is so hard in this day and age!! I've been using MFP for 90 days now. I had a couple of weeks at the beginning that I showed no weight loss. I was freaking out. Reduced calories and exercise and not showing anything on the scale. That was unacceptable to me. I posted some questions regarding…

I thought so too. But I dropped 13 lbs over the past month but no adjustment.

Thanks @JeromeBarry1. I need to be patient and have faith in the process.

@sunsweet77 , I tried to message you and received a system error.

I have it set to drop 2 lbs per week. 3250 is correct. That's why it's been frustrating. I'm creating 1000 calories deficit per day on top of the 20% deficit the app creates. Thank you and good luck to you as well.

I don't think it was anything large. 1st week I dropped 4 lbs. The stall has lasted for 13 days. I will try to layoff the scale and only weigh in once a week. Thank you.

Haha. I was hoping as well. Wishful thinking!!

Thanks Jemhh. It's an electric scale. 1000 lbs capacity. I did unplug and plug the scale. Same weight.

Thanks Macgurlnet. I haven't been looking at carbs or sodium. Just focusing on total calories intake.

Thanks cmriverside. I've always tried lo carb. I've had good success initially. Dropped 100 lbs once. But I always hit a wall. So MFP makes sense. For every 3500 calorie deficit, one should lose 1 lb. So to not see the scale move, makes it tough.

Every other day. It's tough not to see the scale moving.

Thank you.
