[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't that obvious if you're trying to lose weight?  You need to be at a deficit of 500-1000 calories a day.  [/quote]
Yes. I was already in a deficit, but wasn’t seeing results. I was advised by a trainer to stay at 1300 calories a day. I was adding the calories burned through exercise and “eating” them, though still technically “consuming” 1300 calories. I’ve stopped “eating” the exercise back and the weight is steadily dropping a bit every day.

It wasn’t obvious to me, no, so maybe this success story will help someone else. [/quote]

I'm sorry. This explanation is confusing me a bit. So you were eating 1300+ day and now just 1300?[/quote]
Not OP, but sounds like they said to eat 1300 calories a day. She exercised and burned 400 calories, so she would eat 1300+400. Even though she "burned off" the 400 calories, it wasnt enough to lose weight. Now she is eating 1300/day no matter how much exercise, and making a difference on the scale. [/quote]
