THE ONLY WAY YOU GAIN IS IF YOU GO OVER YOUR GOAL?
Quick question. When I wasn't using MFP, and I was out of shape, and had a lot of fat, was it because I was eating more calories then I was burning during the day? Or was it the type of food I was eating. If I spent the whole day eating unhealthy fatty foods, but burned MORE calories than I ate, would I gain, and store…

Binge Days: Why they can be beneficial for your weight loss
They happen to all of us. We grab that one thing off of the shelf at the store that we know will not help us. For me it's oreos, and ice cream. And then, after a weeks hard work, we go into the pantry, and go way over our calorie limit. However, little did you know that these free days may actually be helping you. I used…
