I am interested in a group too....have always struggled with BED. I have gained and lost 50 pounds several times. A vicious cycle.

Thanks for all of the responses...I am only trying to lose a few pounds and have been working out regularly for over ten years...just seem to have hit a point where I can't lose anymore and was wondering if working out is actually hindering me now.

Gotcha, thanks for the responses. So is exercise really worth it then as far as weight loss goes or is it more about the other health benefits?

So basically if I get on the elliptical for 30 minutes, which burns 270 calories it says I can eat 270 more calories. It feels like it just cancels out then.

When you exercise it adds calories to your "allowance." So if I eat 1200, which is what it recommends and then burn 300 it says I can eat 300 more. Doesn't that basically cancel out the exercising?
