So I've read all this with interest as someone who only needs to lose about 20 pounds but is finding it very hard at the moment, having done it before.

It seems the general consensus is to try to eat back some of the calories at least. @xampz - if I eat back the exercise…

Thank you. That is helpful. I will try to do that. What I find though is sometimes I go to the gym spur of the moment so inadvertently end up with too little calories but I will try your approach.
