    Thank you so much for sharing that post Orphia, I've apparently been really screwing up :( I thought I was doing good by not eating back my exercise calories. Duly noted!

    Thanks for sharing that post Orphia. It has made me rethink my whole quick loss plan. Only 2 weeks in and have had a couple of binge days due to low calorie goal. Very educating as I have been a yoyo dieter for years.

    If the exercise is a new thing your muscles could be retaining fluid for repair, meaning your water weight will be up if you're logging accurately, you will be losing fat just gaining water. If this is the case just give it time and it'll start going down once your body is used to your new routine.

    OP, what are you using to determine that you are burning those "300-400" calories every day?
