I'm fairly new to this too, and a lot does depend on how you set up your initial information. However, most people seem to suggest eating back all your exercise calories. The baseline MFP gives you is what you need to eat to lose weight at the pace you designated. If you do not eat back all of your exercise calories you…

Thank you so much Hollis! I think this will be a great challenge for me! I might need to bring a t-shirt in to work though. Blouses don't allow for pushups very easily!

My name is Shannon. I have 2 great kids, 5 and 2 and I work full time. My biggest challenges are balancing time with my family with work, stress and then trying to make exercise and eating well a priority. There are too many priorities! I have a goal of 50 lbs this year and I just started 2 weeks ago. I am looking for…

Agreed. I have a plan, now I just need to stick to it! Wood grilled salmon & asparagus - and 1/2 the risotto!

I will be your buddy! I am brand new to MFP and I am a FT Mom with a FT job too! My goal is 50 lbs, but I'll meet your 60! I hate mornings, I am not a morning person, but I am on day 8 of getting up around 6:00am to get 30 minutes in before the kids are up and it's time to get them ready for school. They are 5 & 2 so there…
