Can you eat the exercise calories?

I will say this to motivate myself again and everyone else. In one year I went from a size 16 to a size 2-4. Felt great. Before I cut calories I worked out weight lifting for 12 weeks

. The first 2 months I went from a size 16 to an 8-10 (I have a big butt and small waist), but only lost 2-3 lbs

LOL


. my trainer complained that I wasn't dieting so I took a month break from weight training and did 1200 cal.

Dropped 12 lbs my first week and 10 lbs every week after.

right, so you we're eating 35000 calories below your maintenance TDEE per week, so that's a defecit of 5000 calories a day...LOL


Went back to the gym for a month, then did the 1200 cal for a month. This whole time I continued dropping weight.

Every month I did a body cleanse for 3 days.

LOL ...what do you think you're cleansing

I would eat fruit for 3 days and water. Nothing else. Made a huge fruit salad and munched constantly for 3 days. Would drop 10 lbs in the 3 days.

now I get it, you're manipulating water weight so every month you'd drop carbs and eat stupid and drop 10lbs water weight only to put it back on

I had glowing skin and abs and looked so sexy. I finally plateaued at 135-140 lbs. solid muscle.

LOL - hypertrophy in a massive defecit and a female ....yeah, no

My goal was 125-130 lbs so I wasn't too happy about getting stuck. But I was a size 2-4. Low fat content and solid compact muscle. No bulk. But life happens and I wAs put on exercise restrictions. Had surgery. Meds and everything made me gain 70 lbs. and that's just after surgery.
eating more calories makes you put on weight, not following a ridiculous regime makes you put on weight

Activity restrictions made me gain 50 lbs before surgery. I've never been this overweight ever. It's awful. So hard to get motivated again. But we can do it!

I don't believe a single word of this post and I can't let it stand because people reading, who don't know any better, might think there's some sense in it ...when it's just bunkum from start to finish

Whether any of that is true or not, this person hasn't learned to eat at their calorie limit.

Their profile says they have 100lbs to lose.

All of that is a very, very bad example and should not be listened to.

She's blaming that on surgery and medication and being unable to exercise, well 70lbs of it anyway

As was said, 10 lb a week requires 5000 calories a day in deficits. Fat oxidation is generally rate limited by mass, so the general research suggests you can only burn 31 calories per day per pound of body fat (not total mass, body fat).
So just to be possible to do, you'd need 160 pounds of pure body fat.
Now, huge amounts of aerobic work might push that 31 higher, but honestly, if you had the aerobic capacity to do so, you wouldn't have much to lose to start with.

I didn't. I would just drink lots of water when I felt hungry. Stayed at the1200 cal and lost 10-12 lbs a week and kept it off until I had to have surgery and couldn't exercise for 2.5 years. Now starting all over again.
