in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm new to the website. I'm trying to lose at least 30 pounds before my wedding in August. I like the website and it seems easy to log foods and exercises.

One question though...should I eat the calories that I burn from exercising or will that just slow down the weight loss??

    Welcome and YES! Eat those calories you earn!!! If you don't your body will go into starvation mode and you will stop losing!

    Congrats on the up-coming wedding!

    What type of exercise are you doing to lose weight? I have started walking/jogging for about 50-60 minutes this week, today will be my fourth day to do that.

    I see you have lost about 10 pounds. Congrats!

    Congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding. As the other ladies have said, "EAT 'EM". You're getting some wonderful exercise. Keep up the hard work. Personally I hit the gym on my lunch hour for about 25 mins of cardio then do 30 Day Shred. I've not been feeling well the past several days so I've not been working out. Will more than likely be back to square one for me when I get back to feeling well.

    Stay strong and post often! MFP members are a wonderful group of people. You won't find more supportive friends.
