    To be honest, for the first 60 lbs, I'd go with not eating back the first 300 of your exercise calories - when you've got a lot to lose you can get away with it.

    Just be prepared to the plateau, and when it hits you'll need to increase your intake, and you WILL put on weight, even though you're still running a deficit, while you adjust..

    I very rarely eat mine,I never feel deprived I eat well.But its my choice and im happy and healthy.I have tons of energy.Ive lost 50 pounds since last april so im in no way losing weight to fast.

    After 9 or 10 months and 80 pounds lost it caught up with me. I sat on a plateau for 3 months. Not only was I so tired I couldn't stay awake at my desk I was nautious. I did what I thought best and cut more calories, exercised more and got more tired. This snowball effect I ended up gaining 15 pounds back. After joining and following MFP for two weeks I expect my Thursday weigh in to have lost the 15 I gained back and then some.
