That is the perfect answer!! Thank you. That is exactly what I was thinking. I have been eating back whatever I burn off and had a feeling it would only hurt me in the end. I wear a Fitbit, but a lot of times I feel like it is overestimating!

Sadly, I am a stress eater so I have gained several pounds instead of lost. I am currently 5'3" and 141 lbs and…
