I was skeptical too about gaining if I ate more.. but it works.

I am 5'4" and I ate 1200 calories a day for 4 months, with the Biggest Loser, 30 Day Shred daily, and running C25K 3 - 4 x weekly. I lost 16 lbs, but then started almost passing out a couple of times a week. I couldn't even run a minute and a half straight by the 4th month, whereas I had gotten up to 20 minutes nonstop. I…

I was at a 1200 calorie goal, and I did not eat my exercise calories. I was burning 300 - 500 calories a day, easily.

I did W4D2 yesterday. I cannot believe I ran 5 consecutive minutes - TWICE!! Whaaaaaaaaat??? I've never been a runner! I am elated!

I am on week 4 of C25K! Yesterday, I ran two five minute intervals for the FIRST TIME ever!!! I am so excited!

Great success story! This further convinces me not to despise the day of small beginnings!

Hey! I'm on my 4th week from GA! I have to say that I love this app, this website, and the accountability it has placed in my life. I think you will do great!

It is working for me! I love it. It has helped me bc of the accountability.
