I'm leaving most of my exercise calories unused & limiting my bread, potatoes & rice (only had once so far this month). Next month I'm going to eat everything & all of my exercise calories. I know there are lots of variables - my medications, monthly water retention, salt intake, etc. We will see . . .
@MiamiSeoul, for the last week, I started to input "quick adds" as my workout calories to cancel out my workout (and delete it before I complete my diary). It has changed the way I look at my remaining calories.

I will aim for my ultimate goal now that I got to my December goal. I honestly don't know how I got there so fast. I am exercising now for about an hour everyday for a week already though. I also got rid of binging altogether. I usually do it twice a week. So maybe there's that. Probably lost a lot of water weight so the next weeks might be slower loss, especially with the incoming parties and feasts I will be in.5 -

I didn't really expect tp have lost anything as my last weigh in was only 2 days ago, so hopefully will see better results by next weigh in.
9th : 283.6lbs
Been a hard week this week as I reinjured my knee at the beginning of the week and have had to rest up quite a bit, only just starting to get back to normality again (thanks to pain killers). Hopefully next week will see better results.

This is what actually started me back on MFP in July. I had a terrible stomach bug & couldn't eat for almost a week, immediately followed my my first flu in over a decade that lasted about two weeks. I went from 233 to 223 and here we are almost six months later!
