Am I hurting myself?

Ilovepeppers

I just looked at my HRM and I've burned 2900 cals this week, just through exercise. I looked back at my diary and I saw quite a few days where I netted approx 500 calories but consumed a total of approx 2000... Am I hurting myself netting 500? I feel ok but I only have 17 more pounds to lose.

I understand how hard it can be to eat back that many calories. Is this a routine thing where you're constantly at a large deficit or was last week just "busy"? If not, I would say no. You're eating plenty if it's 2000+ a day. If you plateau, you may want to knock the exercise down a notch or eat more.
