So, I'm on my 4th week of this now.

I had slightly increased my calories over the past few months anyway but was adhering to the eating exercise calories and some days I was just still hungry!

Using a combination of scooby, fat2fit and NROLFW, I set my calories at 1863 (nice round number!) and on my non-exercise days I feel so much better.

If I burn more than 500ish calories I do eat some of them back to keep my net above my BMR level.

I don't worry too much if I go over on days I do any exercise.

I've started to lose again! Down nearly 2lbs! Not back at my MFP low, but moving back in the right direction!

Thanks for starting this group!

    THanks guys!

    One thing I wanted to add, as a serial scaler...yup...every day! I've noticed that since starting this, my daily weight fluctuates far less, which means I don't spend hours agonising where the 2lb water weight came from! So....all good!
