Day 2 and i'm under my calorie goal! Even managed to get in a cheeky chocolate snack because of extra excersize. ...Hope your all staying strong! I'm determined to stick to my calorie goal for the next 2 months!

    I try not to eat my exercise calories or at least not all of them. I figure I'm overweight and i need to burn whatever calories/fat I can. Eating them after I burned them that day makes me feel like i just wasted my efforts.

    I agree with you. I try to eat *some* of them, but between that and the deathly fear that i'm over estimating how many calories i burned, I definitely don't eat all. I figure if I go over one day, it's no big deal cuz I've been under some days too. ya know?
  • I went about 7 calories into my exercise....but if i wouldn't have done the exercise i could never have had that one piece of chocolate i was craving because i didn't want to go over my calorie limit :)
