    Thanks for the info....I increased some of my calories but felt guilty eating back all and I only lost 1 lb this week and before I was averaging 2.5 to 4 lbs a week.

    Sooooo confused! Why even exercise if your just going to eat more?

    For cardiovascular/muscular health and fitness and the ability to do something with your newly skinny body besides lie languidly by the pool in a bikini :)

    Thank you for this thread.

    I was eating 1000 - 1100 calories per day and doing cardio at least 6 days every week. I lost 12 pounds, but it took a long, long time, and my weight loss had stalled lately.

    Four days ago I increased how much I'm eating. I *feel* much, much better. I didn't think I was hungry before, but emotionally I was terrible--feeling really edgy, and downright *****y and angry all the time. I've started to think that I can really make this a lifestyle change.

    And guess what? I'm down two pounds. I know that it hasn't been enough time yet to say for certain that that two pound weight loss isn't just a quirk, water weight, whatever. But I'm encouraged.

    And I want to stress that I feel so much better. A big THANK YOU to the O.P. and everyone who posted info here.

    This has helped me a GREAT deal! I have recently taken a break from "counting points" on Weight Watchers because I knew that the general nature of points wasn't giving me the information I needed to continue to lose weight. I initially lost 65 lbs on Weight Watchers and in the last year and a half I have struggled to lose the last 10! I am an avid runner and exercise fanatic so having plateaued so fiercely was confusing and frustrating! Having recently joined MFP I am beginning to understand the nature of my problem especially when given accurate and helpful information such as what you provided in this post.

    I am looking forward to monitoring my progress over the next few weeks to see how this new way of tracking my energy sources and expenditures works for me!

    Thank you, again, for posting this. It is very helpful!
