  • I've lost 30 pounds since October with diet alone. I have recently started walking and jogging daily to help with those last 5 pounds, it gets harder to lose when you get close to your goal. I would recommend exercise from the beginning to give yourself extra calories and also to cover any logging mistakes. Good luck!
  • My starting numbers were very similar to yours, 41 yrs. 5'6 and 161 lbs. I have logged for 155 days and lost 28.2 lbs. It has been slow and steady, but I have stuck to the calories mfp gave me and have lost an average of 1.26 lbs per week.
