    More calories doesn't necessarily equate to more food. Maybe you don't need to change the amount you eat, but WHAT you eat.

    but I dont even count my linedancing really as exercise no more than my friend who walks back and fore all day in her job classes that as exercise, its part of my normal weekly routine my husband who went from over 21 stone sept 4th to 12.5 stone by xmas day same year and had 600 cals a day, never was ill if he hit a plateau he would just eat normally for 2 days then start again , .NO point in exercising to just eat the calories back, and may I add my husband never sat in any drs waiting room.


    just know what has been working for me, NEVER BEEN A BIG EATER, ALWAYS EXERCISED AND PUT ON WEIGHT PURELY FROM ME DICATION AND THEN LET IT GET BETTER OF ME TO QUOTE MY OWN DR

    I never eat all of the calories back.. it's too many and I would have to stuff my face to get close..


    but nothing beats a balance series of meals and a solid exercise regimen. Not even the couch

    That mentality is what got me to spend less time on the treadmill and more time lifting.

    I stopped exercising for 3 1/2 months. I ate ALL da calories and sat on the couch. I also have a ton of fat to show for it. No regrets, but I started working out to reverse the damage. LOL

    The point is to replenish your body after a workout with protein and good clean food. Your body is in super burn mode AFTER you workout also and your muscles need the fuel to repair themselves, along with the good complex carbs to sustain your energy. If you eat less, your body is gonna start thinking it's starving and start storing fat for energy. What's the point in that? It's the reason were all here: give fat the one way ticket divorce package. Don't get discouraged, it's all worth it even if somedays you don't think so :)

    then dont account for it in your daily activity, and dont log it as exercise. seems pretty simple to me.. even though i dont agree with it.

    I rarely eat my cals back. If I do, I normally lose very little weight that week. But I'm only 2kg (5 pounds) away from my goal, so I needa be extra careful.

    Also, don't sit on your bum. No one got a hot *kitten* from sitting on it all day!

    EDIT: In addition to gymming 3-4 times a week, twice a week I pole dance. Not to burn cals, but because I love it! Find something you love doing, and you'll stop thinking that way.

    when talking about one's bum, I prefer the word "Buttocks" It's in better taste.

    Oh, and on topic. Yeah, who'd want to eat more because they worked out. That makes *no* sense whatsoever. Enjoy your 1200 calroies, "Sit on your buttocks, man/woman/thing!"

    If you're not going to change a thing no matter what anyone says, what's the point in posting this?

    It's obvious there are benefits to exercise, and you're getting them. It's obviously better to exercise than not to. Do whatever you want in regards to eating and the consequences are yours to live with.
