Loving MFP! Looking to lose a lot of weight :)
I'm still pretty new to MFP. I am down twenty pounds with eighty (maybe more) to go. This site is awesome, I love it so far. Honestly MFP is the best diet tool I have ever used. In the past I have counted calories using a notebook and paper. I have also done Weight Watchers. MFP is so much better! Anyway, I have decided to…

Three questions.
I have MFP set for a two pounds a week weight loss. So far it's going really well. I feel like I'm eating enough and I'm consistently losing weight. I'm really happy with this program. I can't give it enough praise! My questions: 1. If set for a two pound/week loss, how many calories off from maintenance are you being…

For example, I do not enjoy chicken unless bad, bad things have been done to it. So I don't eat chicken and there is no fuss about…

Over doing it.

I have never in my life been this heavy. I have already lost 12 pounds (yay!), but by yesterday I felt really sluggish and under…

Leg cramps
I'm having a problem with my calves cramping when I try to go for walks. I have around a hundred pounds to lose. I steadily gained the extra weight over a few years but didn't stop walking (thank goodness for my dog!), then I started a new medication that made me totally balloon over a period of two months. At the same…

Exercise calories
Hi! I'm new to MFP. I have a lot of weight to lose. My goal right now is to walk 3x a day for a half hour at a 3 mile an hour pace. It's a lot of walking for me. I have gotten really out of shape. When I log all my walking, my food diary adds a lot of exercise calories, probably because I am very heavy right now. It looks…
