MFP says 1800 calories a week is my goal but it and including my weightlifting it should be about 2100 so i dont see how I would be so off.

Thank you very much, it puts me at ease

Actually last week was about my fifth week in. I started at 272 lbs and have dropped to this weight that I am at now. I've heard about the beginner effect. I guess my confusion lies in how much water was also lost with that fat in addition to muscle.
