EAT - Are you serious?

I cannot believe that if I eat more than I have been that I will actually start to lose weight but since you guys are the professionals I will try it out what is the worse that can happen - I'll end up back in the 240's instead of where I am at in the 220's my goal is to get back down to 140 - this is my prayer- God Willing!!!!!

I have to agree with you. Sometimes after a really hard workout it wants me to eat 2200 calories, that's way too much food for me. I'm curious if it hurts to just eat the same amount you would had you not worked out, I've never tracked what I'm eating when I workout so maybe that's why.

I read an article called, "Living With Obesity At 700 Calories Per Day!" I feel it explained this question very well and it might help you and several others. Check it out-

Otherwise, I just went to check the forum rules and such before I posted a link and found other links available that might answer this question as well on MFP: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/23912-links-in-mfp-you-want-to-read-again-and-again

Great article, thank you!

Thanks for the question.. I've been trying to shed the weight myself.. I feel like I'm eating so much.. I've only been on here a few days and have learned quite a bit from all the posts.
I feel we are in the same boat. Good luck.
