Oh, dont even worry about that. I have been on the inter-webs since 1997 and forums are a very "live" and fluid method of communication. Its all good. :smile:

I agree, it is confusing. But....if I lose a pound a week, I should be at my goal weight by summer vacation and will have lost 50 lbs in just over 7 months. I can live with that.

Reset to 1 lb per week. Now at 1830 calories.

Thanks. I am beginning to get the idea that this last 20 lbs is going to be much more work than the first 30. LOL

I just noticed that. I had a 2 lb per week goal set. I have re-set it to 1.5 lbs and my caloric intake is now a suggested 1580.

I am a bit confused then. Why does MFP tell me my caloric intake goal is 1330?

Hmmmm..... This is what I got for mine....

So based on those new numbers and adjusting to my current weight I should be satisfied with a .5 to 1.0 lb per week loss. Thanks for the info.

Sorry bad post....

The one time it happened to me, I was stuck for several weeks and a friend suggested a binge to shake things up. I tried it and it seemed to work (It sure was fun eating all that stuff). But I wonder if the binge was really what did the good.

Thanks for the responses. I dont do much exercise. I do play golf, but I see from searching that the amount of calories burned during a round of golf (riding) is a highly charged topic. :) I dont drink much water either, but I do drink a boatload of tea (unsweetened iced tea). I do not weigh my food with a scale. I rely on…
