Texas Teacher, 45 lbs in 3 months

No I usually don't eat back exercise calories. I can't count on myself to exercise, because I kind of hate it, so I never count on them. If I work out, it's a bonus for my body, but I don't "give myself" any extra if I did. My body is used to the 900 a day now, so I've found its easier to just let it be, and if I burn 200 cals or so running, then I pat myself on the back. If not, no big deal.

I realize a lot of people will think this is way too few cals. and maybe it is. But I'm not hungry, I feel satisfied, and the results are showing. Every now and then I will have a day where I simply can't count cals. (there have been 3 of these days since I began). One was my birthday, one was my anniversary, and 2 more were out of town dinners. On those days I just eat whatever I want and hit it hard again the next day. I try to be reasonable and let myself have what I want. Like tonight! I ate 2 pieces of pizza because I was craving pizza (haven't had it in 3 months!) but I still came in at 900 cals. even with eating a turkey sandwich for lunch.

You're doing what works for you, that's what counts. I don't worry about the comments suggesting what I'm eating is not enough. I will not force myself to eat because others think I'm not eating enough. If you're not hungry, you're not hungry.

Thanks for the support! I think the results speak for themselves-- people wanna know what I'm doing to lose it and that's what I'm doing!
