OH believe me, I know what it "looks like in terms of food." I know everything I need to know - fresh foods, very low sugar/good carbs, lots of veggies and clean protein. I have outstanding food, and I measure when I'm not positive how many oz. Just need to eat the right amounts and don't understand MFP! THANK YOU ALL FOR…

Okay, so it did suggest 1200 (which means 1.2 pounds per week). But I just checked to see what my BMR is, and it's 1400-something. Is it okay to have calories below your BMR?

I guess I did something wrong, because I never saw the number of calories MFP suggested for me. I put the number 1200 in myself (unless I'm senile).

I don't consider 40 lbs. close to my goal!!!!! And I put the 1200 in - can't I just put in 1000 if it's going to give me calories back anyway? Sorry to be confused! I eat fresh food and I already have it set on exercising every day (brisk walking to start) for 45 mins!
