I do watch what I eat and track my different carb, protein, dairy, and sugar intake. Part of the reason I'm back on MFP is because counting calories was the only thing that really worked for me when I initially lost around 40-50 lbs.

Hi Welcome! I'm needing to loose 20 too we can do this!

You might have gained some muscle mass since you've been working out everyday. Muscle weighs more than fat.

great tips Martha!

Wow! Thanks everyone!!

What is that?

I usually just eat how I normally would have any other day. Rarely do I use up or even use my exercise calories. I figure it's good not to get use to eating more than normal and the added exercise is just healthy for my body to stay fit.
