My wife got me using the app and she doesn't believe there is a way to shut it off. But she offered me good advice in simply ignoring the exercise portion and ensure that my intake never exceeds the initial allotted calories. Works for me.
There is a great deal of motivation for me when I close the MFP daily diary and it says, "In 5 weeks, if you continue to have days like this, you'll weight XXX.X pounds." In being good about sticking to my food and exercise routine (2300 calories per day and 1.5 hours or 20 miles of riding) I am dropping weight quickly (2-4 lbs a week is quick and sustainable in my mind). The app said I would be under 300lbs in 5 weeks for the very first time last night. That gave me a mental push I needed to avoid the crap at a business lunch today. 5 weeks doesn't feel far away. Under 300lbs has felt far away for some time now.
