Thank you for your reply. I think this week I will up it by 100 calories a day to 1300 plus exercise and see how that goes before upping by another 100. Thanks for the help :-)

Thanks :-) this makes it easy to understand!

Mine is a combination of both running and walking on the treadmill... 02/02- 3.3 miles 03/02- 5 miles

02/02- 3.3 miles

My goal isn't as high as everyone else but I'm in for 30 miles :-)

I definitely have to try these :-) Has anyone got any pictures ?

My fitness pal put me on a plan of 1200 calories a day, so I eat that plus over half of the calories which I gain from exercise

Thank you for your reply. Why do the muscles retain water, is this a good or bad thing?

I also started on the 1st, so far so good! Good luck :-)

Thank you that has been a great help and the post on the link that you sent explains it a lot more. I do have 20 pounds to lose.... I think I will take your advice and lower the weekly weight loss to 1 pound a week and then also eat back most of the calories burned during exercise. I use the calorie counts on the machines…
