    Hope this isn't a dumb question,are you all eating your exercises calories? I don't know how to reach a 3500 calorie loss personally if I eat all my extra calories lost.I allow myself to eat half of them if I want to. Any input would be appreciated as to what you all are doing and still losing.

    I didn't used to, but I hit a plateau after a few weeks of overly large calorie deficits. Now I force myself to eat all the calories back and I'm losing more consistently.

    There are a LOT of differing opinions on this. If you search the forums for "eating calories back" you'll find hours of reading with advice and links. You may have to experiment a little to find what works for you, and it will probably depend what your net calorie goal is and how you arrived at that number. There are some good calculators - you'll see the links in the forums with some lengthy instructions.

    For me there is no way i could eat all my excercise calories back, that would be way to much (for me), i have still been losing. However this week will be different because im eating on average about 400 calories more per day and i have been doing the same work outs, so weigh in tomorrow, should be interesting, my goal is to stay the same during the holiday's.

    Yes- I eat them back, if I need them. Rarely do I eat them all back, but I do eat when I am hungry. I hydrate (water only) when I get hunger pains to first ensure it is real hunger
