      Some days I do some I don't. If I'm hungery and have used my regular calories I will eat my earned. If I'm not hungry I don't.

      I don't. I'm using the math that (1 lb =1,500 calories). So, to lose 1 lb a week, I need to burn 300 calories a day for 5 days. Or burn 150 calories through exercise and reduce your caloric intake by 150.

      I thought 1 lb was 3500 calories????

      (1 lb =3,500 calories) you need to burn 700 calories /day for 5 days. :smile:
