Catching up with me!
My poor eating has caught up to me! Having a hard time stopping. 4 lbs gained! In the past I've dieted without exercising. Right now I'm in a slump of exercising without dieting.

Less Calories Burned for Same Workout?
Ignoramums fitness question of the day: Is it normal to start burning less calories doing the same workout over time?

Did some damage last night and now I'm 486 calories in the hole. Should I burn 486 + 200 today to make it up? 200 is my daily goal. I can break it up into AM & PM.

After 3 wks of being faithful, I remained with my initial loss of 4 lbs. I was angry, sad, discouraged, etc. It's OBVIOUS i'd dropped from a pant size 14 to a 10, but SAME WEIGHT!!! WTF!? Today the stupid scale shows a 4 lb loss. I feel like I have an unhealthy relationship with the scale. It treats me badly, but I keep…

What am I doing wrong?
I've been on MFP about 3 weeks now and my weight has been up and down. I don't workout a ton, but I am walking 1.5 miles almost daily, biking, and swimming. I was completely sedentary before.
