sorry about duplicate post trying to learn to upload pics....

I struggle with eating my workout calories back too. I never used to do that until I started on MFP and that was so much hype about it. I think as we get older it is almost impossible to eat them back and lose weight. It comes off too slow for us women as we get older and our metabolism slows down. I try to stay around the…
