Yes and yes!
( in fact, the only time my progress slows is if I don't eat my exercise calories!)0 -
1. I usually eat some back but I too am zig-zagging my calories so I go a few days eating them back and a few days not eating them back. If I have a high bad carb day, I do not eat them back.
2. Yes. I am consistently losing weight each week. But even better I am losing inches too.0 -
Yes, unless I burn 700+ calories because my tummy doesn't like 2,000 calories in a day.
Yes, 1-1.5 lbs/week.0 -
Yes I eat my exercise calories.
Yes, I'm losing consistently - averaging out at 1kg per 10 days or about 1.6 pounds a week.0 -
1. My calorie intake is reduced for weight loss, so eating back my exercise calories is almost required so I don't make myself sick. If I'm plus or minus 200 calories from my goal, I take it as a good day.
2. I've lost 10 pounds so far. Lots of boxing. Little carbs.0 -
No, I don't eat my calories back.
Yes, I have been losing weight consistently. 33lbs gone so far0 -
No, never eat them back
Yes!!!!0 -
1. I eat back about half the exercise calories.
2. And no, I am not losing much weight yet.0 -
Yes, I eat my exercise calories, otherwise I'd go under 1200 net calories.
Yes, I've been losing 1-2 lbs. per week over the past 5 months (Primal Blueprint/low carb).0 -
1. Yes I eat them back (90%+ of them anyway)
2. Yes I lose consistently (25 lbs in 25 weeks!)0 -
1. Do you eat back your calories
YES
2. Are you losing weight consistently.
I've already reached my goal weight.0 -
YES I eat them.
YES I lose consistently.
BTW, eating them is the only way to break that last 10-20 lbs. and live your life maintaining.

Yes, 1-1.5 lbs/week.
My tummy LOVES 2000 calories a day!0 -
Yes and yes. I plateaued 6 months by not eating them.0

1. Yes, at least 50% of them.
2. Yes.0 -
So far I have tried eating them ...that didn't go well, gained and lost the same 1 lb. I tried cutting sugar ... nothing ..watching sodium ..nothing, I'm exercising 5 to 6 times a week, most days burning around 400 cals, or 300 on weight days.
Now my plan is to only eat back half and see what happens. I am short so maybe I need less.0 -
1. NO
2. YES
However, I think I should definitely let you know that I do not use MFP's recommendations for my calorie goals. They are severely low. They think I should only eat 1200 per day. I eat around 1500 for 3 days straight and the 1 day around 1800 (and repeat) because I am calorie cycling. But I average about 1520 daily during any given week.
If I was sticking with MFP's guidelines, I would probably eat those exercise calories so I didn't starve to death.0 -
No, not really.
Yes.0 -
1. Most of the time I eat them
2. Losing but verrrrrry slowwwwww0 -
1) Not usually, but I don't do massive workouts (only 200 calories or so a day) and I'll happily eat them if e.g. I'm going out.
2) Yes.0
