    So I am working with a Personal Trainer who strongly suggested I should be eating more calories than MFP suggests due to my activity level (I am a part-time group exercise instructor). Is anyone eating some of the calories 'earned' through exercise? If so, curious to know how it has impacted your scale results. Thanks!

    I wasn't eating back any exercise calories, but got so tired and hungry. Now I let myself eat more when I'm hungry and low on energy, and less on days I'm not. Has certainly slowed weight loss- but now able to do more, feel stronger, and better outlook on staying with this program.

    I just eat when I am hungry and until I am full. Majority of the time I don't eat back exercise calories. I don't usually eat what MFP says to in calories. Before anyone asks, I see a doctor weekly...he monitors me and says what I'm doing is perfectly fine, as long as I'm eating enough protein and healthy fats and I don't feel hungry to roll with it.

    Like today if I ate back my exercise calories I'd be eating over 2000, I highly doubt I could even eat that much.

    Posted to the spreadsheet for my weigh in today. Also posting here for measurements. I'm struggling with PMS bloat today, but happy to see movement in the right direction even if it was just a little bit. Most of the time I usually go in the opposite direction or see nothing. The C/W/H measurements improved, and also started moving in other measures (that I don't record here), so that is positive as well! Also got into a size smaller pants yesterday. Still a little tight, but a good sign.

    So, this week hasn't gone according to plan AT ALL... I'm probably going to be up a couple pounds on Sunday, but what really set me off track in the first place was the weigh-in last week. I did really well with my eating and exercise yet I actually GAINED .2 pounds, and even though I know weight fluctuates and it certainly wasn't fat that I gained- it's really tough seeing that when I've been working so hard. My MAIN goal is to stick to my plan and keep going- but I think weighing myself each week is going to drive me crazy and keep me from doing that. I really want to stay in this challenge, so I hope this won't be a deal-breaker. I'd still update about how and what I've been doing each week, though...Just not weighing in every week...maybe every 2-3 weeks or so? Please let me know if this is okay or not.

    Yay!! I'm actually back down where I was about 4 weeks ago! This has pretty much become my pattern: I lose for a while then bounce up a bit & start losing again. Frustrating but at least it's still trending down!! FYI - I'm sure you noticed I weigh on Fridays. Monday is just too hectic for me! Hope it's not a problem!

    Food for thought (that's punny)
    Eat until your not hungry, not until your full. It helps!!!!

    Thanks everybody for being so supportive! We all need somebody to lean on.

    So luckily I didn't go too far up on the scale this week like I thought I would. Definitely motivated to do better this week though! And for an update: Right now I have 5 out of my 24 hours done for the 24 hour challenge that I'm in...which is good, but I'm going to have to step up my game this week and really get some more exercise in for the challenge.

    Congrats to everybody losing or maintaining this past week!

    Has anyone had any aha! moments recently? Anything that surprised you or showed you progress?

    I had one yesterday when I took an updated progress picture. Even though I've been able to see little changes, like in my face or thighs...I hadn't really noticed any loss in my waist or hips.....until I took an updated progress picture. There's a noticeable difference in my waist and hips that I had not seen before!

    Here's to this next week!

    I didn't get to the gym as much as I would have liked this week since we had company all weekend 9since Thursday) but I did have a small loss! Ate terrible all weekend too. This week is all about getting back on track and getting my workouts in. I did have a small AHA moment, I bought a dress in a large a few months ago hoping that I would lose enough before my vacation to wear it. I tried it on this weekend and YAY!! it actually looks good on me now. I haven't lost a lot of lbs but I am losing inches. :smile: Great work everyone.
