    This is so true and it works! When I first started MFP I rarely ate back my exercise calories, but then I hit a major plateau that lasted about a month. I decided to switch things up and start eating back ALL my exercise calories and the weight finally started coming off again! I was finally able to reach a huge goal of getting under 200 pounds and it seems like every week the scale keeps on moving in the right direction. I encourage anyone who is struggling or going through a plateau to do this because it really works. Thanks for posting! :flowerforyou:

    Bump:

    This is true, recently I have been losing weight without losing inches!
    But since I have been eating my exercise calories I have dropped in both areas.

    This has helped a lot, not just the Original Post but everyone who has put their 2 cents in...I am still trying to understand what it all means and this post has cleared up a few things. I am still on the search for true misunderstanding...but I am getting closer.

    thanks so much for the info, I have recently increased my calories due to a stall. I went back to see my calorie intake in the report section and noticed I was only netting about 500-900 calories when I was burning huge amount of calories during my workouts. I am really hoping that is kickstarts my weight loss. :smile:

    I upped my calories after hitting a stall and it still didn't help. I know am going to try to eat back my exercise calories as well and see how that goes! Thanks!
