    Depends. Sometimes I eat all of them back, sometimes I eat none. If I'm hungry then I have NO QUALMS about "dipping into them" so to speak.

    My scales have been moving down quite slowly recently - I put this down to changing my exercise routine (I was trying to burn 400 - 600 calories per day but I've started doing 30DS 5 times a week which only burns around 270 per session for me. I'm going to stick with that alone though because I want to find out my true results after 30 days and frankly, I am exhausted after it!) but I have lost 44lbs since January.

    yes, I eat back most if not all of my exercise calories...depends on how hungry I am

    still very new at this and can't really say if I am losing consistently; this is my third week counting calories and my second exercising.

    Like most have said I eat back my exercise calories if I am hungry. When I am not hungry I do not eat them back....I just think of them as extra calories burned for that week!

    I have been losing 1 pound a week....sometimes more!

    1. Do you eat back your calories
    -I either do not eat my exercise calories back, or I eat maybe 100 or so of them back.

    2. Are you losing weight consistently.
    -I have been losing weight consistently since I stopped eating them all back :)

    I eat some of them back, depending on the number I burn each day. I have lost weight every week this year apart from my week on holiday.

    Sometimes I eat them, sometimes I don't. I have been at this for about 2.5 weeks now, and I've lost 6 pounds so far!

    I used to eat just some of the exercise calories and lost a consistent 2 pounds each week. Now that I am at my weight goal, I'm trying to earn back some weight by building muscle. Therefore, I try my best to eat all the calories without going over sodium.

    Some days yes, some days no. I go by weekly counts so it can vary but I am always under for the week. I am also training for a half marathon so on long run days, etc it is just nearly impossible to eat them all back!

    I am at a point where if I lost a couple more pounds I would love it, but for the most part I am right where I need to be. But I was losing even before I started tracking consistently on MFP :-)
