    I lost 50 pounds in 6 months without MFP, just excersing and eating healthy foods when I was hungry. I didnt even calculate how many calories I ate a day. Now that I'm on MFP, I do the same thing. Eat when I'm hungry, workout before bed. And it turns out I almost never eat my excersice cals. Ive lost 20 pounds in 8 weeks. Cardio everyday, strength train 3 times a week, and i can now lift 100 pounds for 25 reps doing the lat pulldown. It all depends on what works for you.

    Sometimes I just plain can't. I try to eat at least half of them. On days where I need to eat 2600+ cals I just can't eat that volume of (healthy) food without getting sick.

    Throw fast food in there with soda, candy, no problem, but I'm trying to get away from it. I used to eat 1200 calories a day in food then 800 calories in soda. You can probably guess how I felt day to day.

    I've also been slowly raising my calorie deficit so I don't feel so guilty about not eating them...

    I'm short 360 calories to meet a 1000 calorie deficit and the thought of eating anything right now makes me nauseous.
