    Jillian Micheals kick starts metabolism with increased exercise and increased calories - I'd say she knows her stuff so it only makes sense to keep your metabolism up there you have to do it.

    Everyone is different. What works for one person may NOT work for everyone else.

    My advice, and I learned this the hard way b/c I took everything I read here so seriously at first, is read things here and other places. Try different things and see what WORKS FOR YOUR BODY! Just b/c someone said they ate every single exercise calorie and lost weight DOES NOT mean that you can do the same thing.

    I tried it for a month and I gained weight. I had my thyroid tested to be sure that wasn't the problem...it is fine. Eating those calories does not work for me. On some days when I do long rides etc I do eat a little more than 1400 calories b/c I have to or I will pass out. Find what works for you and ROLL with it!

    I don't tend to use mine unless I have a naughty day like today, where i've eaten prawn crackers:embarassed: but then i've only gone 6 into my 230 exercise calories. I can't see the point of exercising to loose weight if you eat what you have burnt? I've lost 24 pounds in 4 months too.

    Okay, I hate to break this to you, but since you have so little to lose and don't weigh that much to start with, you are probably not going to lose 2 pounds a week. In fact, I bet if you go back and re do your goals, when you hit the "get started" button the screen will tell you what your goals are and at the bottom it will tell you that if you follow everything your projected weight loss will be something like .8 pounds a week.

    I've lost up to 4 pounds a week eating my exercise calories, but that was when I first started and had a ton to lose. Now I'm thrilled with a half a pound a week. The smaller you get the slower the weight comes off. But also, the slower you take it off the slower it will come back on.

    Thank you all for posting. I have been doing this since May and am today at exactly the same weight I was then. And nope, didn't lose inches either.

    Of course, half of it is my fault more for the types of food I eat I think more than just the amount I eat. So I'm going to change my diet once again, and just set a certain goal each day for calories and see what happens.

    Thank you all for your truthful and friendly insight.
