I started using MFP 8 days ago and have lost 5lb which seems an awful lot to me. When I set up MFP I set the desired weight loss at 1lb per week and wanted to lose half a stone in total (or at most up to 10lb).
Most days I was within 100 calories of the recommended 1280cal (with the exception of day 1 when I was 400 calories under due to an intensive gym workout and day 5 when I had a blow out and consumed 1900 net calories).
I expected to lose 1-2lb so far but have lost 5lb. Is this just because my body is adjusting to the new eating regime and it will therefore level out soon? Or do I need to eat more net calories in order to lose weight more slowly and therefore be more likely to keep it off?
Does MFP set the calorie levels too low?
