    *Just a quick question... I know there are tons of posts about this question but personally do YOU eat back your exercise calories? Just wondering because you are all trying to burn SO many in a week. If you do eat them back, what is your reason to try to burn so many?

    Personally, I don't eat back ANY exercise calories..I don't see the point in it. Some people do and appear to get some benefit from it, which, if it works, more power to them. But for me and my way of thinking, if i'm working my butt off trying to lose weight, I'm not then going to eat back what I've just spent so long working off. I have enough trouble eating 1200 cals a day, if I'm eating healthy stuff, let alone the 1590 MFP suggests I should eat.

    Good luck with your endevours! :smile:

    I burned a little over my goal last week, so I hope to do the same this week.
    **MFP says I should burn 4850, so I guess I will bring my previous goal of 6000 down to 5000 to be more consistent with the goal that is already set for me.

    Week 2
    Weekly Goal: 5000 calories burned
    Mon: 850 calories burned (walking, low impact aerobics, strength training)

    3500 goal for the week is typical for me and I am STILL NOT losing. Making goal 6000 for the week. I was close to that last week and pledged to a few that I would do 1000 cal./day for 6 days... I want to keep this going!

    I'm not new to MFP, but this challenge is new and just what I need this week. Count me in! For week #1: 3,500 is my goal.
    I try to keep it real: I have a heart rate monitor and only log actual workouts (not daily chores, etc.)
    Good luck everyone!
