Do you log your exercise calories ? I don’t mean eat them back -I mean log them !

Whatever things look like on paper (or on the app screens), really doesn't matter, because what happens on body will tell the true story.

I point this out because the day will likely be reached where on-paper it appears things should be happening but it isn't on-body.

Having incorrect data on paper at that time then makes it harder to figure out what went wrong where.

So true!

There’s a difference between looking at the big picture over a week, and fudging the facts to reduce the guilt.

We can ‘cheat’, we can stretch the truth/bend the rules/lie to ourselves (and MFP), but our body knows a calorie is a calorie, logged or not - and all the hand-wringing in the world won’t budge the scales one ounce... and the next post is usually along the lines of “Hey, my weight loss has stalled and I don’t know why?”!
