I would never up my calories in order to lose weight. Conventional wisdom says if you want to lose weight eat less and exercise more. I don't know why some people on MFP say to eat more food. It makes no sense to me. I do eat some of my exercise calories on days I am extra hungry but I try not to. I'll agree we probably shouldn't eat below 1200 calories but even occasionally I'll do that. I don't believe in eating if you're not hungry. All my life this is what I have been taught and that is the way I've lost 47 pounds. If eating more food really works for some well good for them. I know it would never work for me. :flowerforyou:

Because if you do it right, it works.

I've lost another 7.5 pounds in the last 3 weeks by upping my calories and eating my exercise calories back. BUT... I consume them with good fats (walnuts, avacados, olive oil). That's been the only difference. I'm not eating "more" food per se, but eating REAL salad dressing (homemade olive oil n vinegar) and avacado on my wraps.

Been working like a charm!

This post sounded a lot like "congrats you're out of shape." It's no wonder people are saying things like "I hate helloitsdan" Weak sauce.

Congrats on your loss!
What's your body fat%?

Thank you. http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc/calculator.cgi
gives me following figures
your body fat percentage is estimated to be 23.74 % using the U.S. Navy body fat algorithm, or 30.35 % using the formula developed by the YMCA.

I'm 60

So you eat very little cals...under 1200 daily and you are fine with the body fat% where it is?
