      Very Inspiring :) Thank you for letting us know how you did that. I was told to eat my excercise calories and I have had a hard time doing that :bigsmile:

      Outstanding Job!

      After reading your storey, I continue to remain confused now on eating / not eating burned calories. You did not eat your exercise calories. Was your metabolism affected? The majority of MFP members feel that exercise calories MUST be eaten. I'm confused . . .

      (I've been with MFP since July 22, 2011.)

      PS: I was in the Air Force, too -- from April 1979 to April 1985 (Weather Specialist).

      Everywhere I turned people were saying to eat them back, but I knew for me it didn't make sense to do that when I felt full on 1300 a day even when I burned 1000-2000 calories a day. I never feel hungry so I say do what you think is best and don't let others sway you. You know your body best.

      My metabolism was aready affected because of hypo thyroidism so I had to work harder to lose the weight. Once I started taking synthroid I could exercise for hours without getting tired. As far as eating your exercise calories, you know your own body best. Eat the daily caloric limit you set for yourself, if you are hungry and need more then eat some of your exercise calories. Best of luck
