Weight machines and a deficit.
Will weight machines change my body even if I am eating at a deficit? I know that I won't gain a lot of muscle... I'm not eating enough for that I know. Is it worth continuing using the weight machines? Also, I just started using the weight machines again this past week and I'm up 2 pounds... is this normal?

I gained weight?
Ugh. I weigh myself every saturday. Last saturday, i weighed 181.4. Today, I am 183. I am a 5'10" female who is eating around 1550 calories a day.

Eating below my BMR?
My BMR is around 1,740 calories. MFP tells me to lose 1 pound a week, I should eat ~1600 calories a day. Is this healthy or should I up my calories?

Net Calories.
Alright so I'm a little confused. To start, I'm 5'10" and around 190 pounds and female. MFP is telling me to eat 1,200 calories a day (which seems kinda low to me) in order for me to lose two pounds a week. I exercise by doing cardio for atleast 50 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Am I supposed to be eating back my exercise…

Questions about the Thirty Day Shred
Am I supposed to actually do it in thirty days? I haven't started it yet (I'm going to start on July 1st). I saw somewhere that some people do two days of the 30ds, then a day of cardio, then another two days of 30ds, then a rest day. Would it even be safe to do the Thirty Day shred every single day for 30 days?
