That's really interesting... I had never heard of that approach. Thank you for the advice! I've been trying to make it a point to not eat back the calories I burned, but maybe that's something I need to try. =) Thanks!

I have this same goal! I want to be down at least 20 lbs by June 1st. I'm not sure I can pull it off, but I'm sure going to try! I am a former dancer and current dance teacher. I danced at the studio I currently teach at for 13 years. A knee injury several years ago ended my dancing career, and I've slowly tried to get…
