How much weight did you lose? So far 49 lbs. 25 since joining MFP


How long did it take? 25 lb since April 2013 but I started my trying to lose weight Feb 2012.


Did you eat your exercise calories back? Since joining MFP, I upped my cals based on what MFP suggests and eat back my exercise cals. Before MFP, I ate 1200 cals or less and did not eat exercise cals. I was not as successful as I have been since joining MFP


How close did you remain to your daily caloric goal? I try to get as close as I can to my goal every day.

Ainar

How much weight did you lose?
Around 35 pounds.

How long did it take?
About a year.

Did you eat your exercise calories back?
No. Because I did not decrease amount of food I ate - calories I ate. Exercise was the way how I got my calorie deficit so if I would have eaten them beck I would be on maintenance and would not lose weight.

How close did you remain to your daily caloric goal?
About 100 cals below or above every day.

So exercise was your only means for deficit? Had you set MFP with goals or just maintenance?
