beautiful I love the way you explained your life style change.

thanks kasgill, I appreciate you taking time to explain. it is just logical what you wrote but there are still many people who are convinced that we MUST eat back all the calories that we burn by exercising. go and figure :)

lots of people are saying that you should eat back those burned calories and somehow magically youll lose even more weight there are many posts on this subject but ,personally, Im not entirely convinced and am in two minds on this subject, especially given some huge burned calories count on some of the exercises listed in…

hi there, there are lots of misconceptions about a need to eat back your burned calories/ Could you tell us what did your nutritionist ,as a qualified person, say about eating away your burned calories? thanks

OP said: I see people logging daily activities, like cleaning, carrying laundry, carrying a baby. Doesn't mfp already account for daily calories burned? So isn't someone that logs those activities doing themselves a disservice by counting them towards cardio? Seems like an easy way to pump up your diary and convince…

The number on the scale drops, but Jane does not seem to get any skinnier. " this is what is…

im similar size, weight and my goal is close to yours, and my recommended calories intake by MFP are 1750, the only diff is that I have opted for sedentary daily activities given my office work. I started a few days ago with counting calories when I joined but have lost some 50 lb in the last 7-8 months by changing my life…

dude, I like your thinking and I personally think that "eating back your exercise calories" is wrong, but I still do not understand if it is true or not that your body burns/eats muscles FIRST and then the fat , as the other people are saying? So according to this logic, all those biggest loser people are coming back home…

salt,among other things,causes hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) which is a common disorder, and is manifested as buildup of calcified plaque on the inside walls or arteries, causing all sorts of problems later in life . Google arteriosclerosis to find out more
