    I have been walking on 8-12% incline, swimming laps or running for 45 min 5x wk as well as lifting weights 3x week.

    Eating 1200 cal a day, but if I exercise I eat at least half of my exercise calories back if not all of them. I eat when I am hungry. I do spike days each week and I don't limit what kind of food I eat, I just eat what I want and count calories.

    what is a spike day? is it like a cheat day where you eat anything and not worry about your calorie intake?

    you look great by the way, in just 30days, wow.

    A spike day to me is 1-2x a week I eat way over what my calories are set at (1200) , such as 1800-2100 etc, but usually I end up exercising that day so I end up under my calorie goal. .... I think what helps is that I actually "consume" close to my maintenance calories a couple times a week or actually go over them.....

    So a spike day to me means that I actually put into my mouth my maintenance calories or higher, even if I work out

    The 2 wks that I stuck exactly to my 1200 calorie goal, even if I exercised, I didn't lose 1lb, so going over a couple times a week fools my body I think.

    My diary is open so anyone is welcome to take a look , I don't eat all good food or diet food, I eat what I can when I can and count it all !!
