Hi,

It's been working for me, but I do also go to Rosemary Conley classes so I had to adjust it, that said I didn't have to adjust the daily goal by very much so I think MFP is fairly accurate.

I couldn't be without this app, it makes keeping track so easy! Good luck!

I personally dont eat back all my calories, otherwise I think there was no point in exercising (apart from the buzz of course!) BUT having said that, if I am extra hungry or want to eat something naughty then that normally comes out of my exercise cals.

Welcome to the site, it truely is a god send.

Heya it seems to be working for me so far, and also seems to have worked for a lot of other people on the site.

I have lost about 12 lbs so far, in just over 3 months, with it set to losing 1lb per week. So I guess it is going at about the rate it is supposed to!

How many of my exercise calories I eat back really depends on how much exercise I've done, and how much I want to eat. If I'm going out somewhere for food and know that it's going to be pretty fattening, then I make sure to do enough exercise that I can eat what I want and not be over my net calories for the day. But if I've had a particularly busy day and not eaten much during the daytime, then after I've been for a run in the evening I am not going to force myself to eat a ridiculous amount of food to get to my calorie goal. I hope that makes some kind of sense!

I find MFP works well if I'm cooking from scratch and can check the most important weights and if I log everything as I go.

If I'm away from home and have to estimate everything, or can't log in because I'm too busy and am struggling to remember what I had the day before, it's not so good.

Of course I do, otherwise what's the point in all of this careful calculations and logging if I'm just going to add a random deficit on top from exercise?

Works for me, I use the App too.
