Hey people,

I need help in understanding the weight loss. I am 31yr, 5'11'' Male with current weight of 90Kg(Just 2 yrs back i was 75Kg). I joined MFP on 1st October and decided to get back in shape. I have been fat most of my life and this time I want to change it completely.

Since 1st October I am in love with MFP and has been logging almost everything I eat. I generally try to keep myself under the net calorie goal for the day or max 50-100 calories over the goal. Also try to maintain the food composition suggested by MFP.

I am taking C25K training (right now in 4th Week) along with 30 Days shred(Moving to level 2 on tuesday). I alternate both running and 30DS and no exercise day on Sunday so good 6 day workout. Since than I have lost toal of 6 Kgs until now. I generally eat back all my exercise calories. I am a software engineer so completely sedentary lifestyle.

Few Question I have in Mind:

1. Am i doing correct and will this routine will give me sustained weight loss further?
2. Is eating back all my exercise calories correct?
3. Is weight lifting(Gym) required and if yes should I start now or once I hit the plateau?
4. IS 30 mins workout a day is enough?

Please help me with your experience guys, I need need that motivation. If you feel like please add me as friend also.

    1. You've lost 6 kg in 2 months - yes? Then you're doing it right. well done.
    2. Opinions differ on eating back exercise calories. If it's working for you - great. Just make sure you don't over estimate burned cals or underestimate consumed ones.
    3. Weight lifting is ALWALYS a good idea. Fit it in now if you can.
    4. 30 mins consistently a day is brilliant.
