Hey folks!
Thought I would officially introduce myself. About 6 years ago I was 160 lbs., in a job that I loathed and I had relatively little going on socially in my life. I started going to the gym and getting my eating in shape. Having a job I hated made going to workout easy for me. Sometimes I would go in the morning before work…

Any tips?
Hey all, I'm Lea. This is the first post I've written, though I have known about this site for a few months now. I notice that when I exercise consitently, my weight stagnates.

This is day 1 of my 32 lbs weight loss journey.

question...help please! :)
I've been on here for one month, and I am wondering if I am supposed to consume all (or at least the better part of) my allotted calories for the day. Especially when I've worked out, and MFP calculates the calories I've burned, am I supposed to eat more?? Shouldn't I want to NOT eat the calories I've burned?? Any insight…
