  • Hi Cindy! I had the same question when I first started with MFP. Not to mention, I was also new to exercise and portion control. At about 6lbs, I felt like I had reached a barrier where I was having a difficult time losing additional weight despite exercising on a daily basis and watching my calorie intake. I had even cut…
  • Really? I just keep thinking, "How can I be losing 6lbs but not notice it!" Perhaps you're right and it will just be gradual for me? Thanks!
  • KaylaBriana~~so I did the calculation and if that is correct, I should only be consuming 887 calories per day which seems pretty low, no?
  • Wow KaylaBriana, very insightful & interesting! I'm going to do it now. I have never exercised before (sad, I know) until I had my son and noticed my body wasn't 'bouncing back' quite like it used to ;-) So, I've been following MFP but even that seems generalized, so it's hard to tell if you're really eating/exercising…
  • Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I try to limit carbs because I don't have much control otherwise so I try to steer away from them all together. As far as eating the allotted exercise calories, I have been doing that. Some days I don't eat all of it because I'm not hungry but I definitely follow MFP and use it as a guide.
