I've been at this since January and have been successful. I have discovered over the past months that there is always one week where I tend to gain. So, maybe this was my one week? I will keep at it and check again next week for results.

I forgot to add...I currently use 1400 calories for my daily number.

Hi Ahoy_m8! That's awesome you are so close to your goal!! I'm also an emotional eater. I think that's why I gained 4 lbs within the past month because I was super stressed. But my brother is coming to visit in July. I haven't seen him in 2 years. I'd like to lose 5 lbs before I see him. Keep up the great work!

Hi. I'm new to the 30 Something group. I am 34 years old and 5'3". My first goal is to lose 10 lbs and get to 135 lbs. I started MFP 2 weeks ago. I'm looking for some great motivation to eating healthy and working out. I'm also looking for other tips (vitamins, shakes, recipes, workout videos, etc). MFP said I should eat…

I'm 5'3" and 148lb. My goal is also 130-135 and then i'll decide if I need to readjust after I reach my goal. I've only been doing MFP for 6 days so I'm always look for new friends to partner with and share food diaries.

These sound great. Thanks!

Thanks, Buckey! This is very helpful!

Let me clarify.... I only drink average of 2 beverages per day. I know i need to drink more water. Below is my normal meal plan for the day Breakfast Coffee with fat free vanilla creamer and one packet of Splenda Dannon light and fit yogurt Banana (Sometimes a thin bagel) Lunch Smart Ones frozen entree Bottle of water…

Thanks everyone for all the advice! You guys are great! I do plan to add exercise into my routine so I think that will help. I did Weight Watchers a year ago and lost 20 lbs but then I fell off the wagon and gained 10 lbs back :( Someone asked what I want to gain from losing weight... I want to feel good about my…

Hi - I chose sedentary because I have a desk job and sit all day. It said low activity is someone who is on their feet all day like a sales person. Should I change mine to "low" if I plan to exercise?

Oh I also said my activity level is non existent. I currently do not exercise.

The 1,2000 calories was automatically calculated when I setup MFP. I said my current weight is 146.5 and that I want to lose 1 lb per week. MFP told me 1,200 calories. That seems insanely low and impossible to do. Is MFP wrong in its calculations?

Thank you both!
