    If im hungry yes, if im not then no

    it has possibly stopped me 'losing weight' but im getting smaller measurement wise since im closish to what i set up as my weight goal (but i had a measurement goal also and i'd be happier with that)

    1) Nope, never. I eat under but that's another story
    2) I would if I didn't live in a binge/restrict/overexercise/binge/purge cycle

    1. Do you eat back your calories?
    No, as much as I would like to, I never end up hungry enough to eat them all back & I'd rather not shove a whole bunch of food & force myself to eat, just to eat them back.

    2. Are you losing weight consistently?
    Yes. I loose something almost every week. I did a plateau for awhile but I was having some cheat days, but now that I'm not, its back to loosing :)

    I wasn't in the beginning and I was losing more, but I am exercising much longer, harder, and more frequently now, so I do tend to eat back the calories. I am also within 10lbs of my goal and it is getting much harder to lose weight. I'm hungrier now than I was when I started! Sometimes I'm also guilty of exercising to balance out excess calories (like I will jump on the treadmill to burn enough to have a treat).

    Hiya,

    im sure we are all well aware that eating back your exercise calories can be a sore topic for some and usually ends in a debate.
    All im wanting to know is 1. Do you eat back your calories 2. Are you losing weight consistently. They only have to be yes and no answers, i don't people getting fired up or upset, just want to get some data on it :happy:

    1.only half
    2.i am now but didnt when i ate all of them back

    1. I don't eat the last 200 - they're there in case I over estimated my workouts or underestimated my calories consumed. My workouts sometimes burn a whole day's calories, so I find it tough to double my day's food in s healthy way.

    2. I don't weigh myself as that is not a number that I care about. I see consistent results though, in muscle definition and I can tell my body fat % is dropping, so I probably am losing weight.
