I also exercise 5 to 7 times a week. Do keep in mind that the calories burned are highly inaccurate. It does make me feel great. I started out walking at an average 2.0 mph on the treadmill for 15 minutes and being exhausted -- now I can run a 5K at an average speed of 6 mph --- So I get it. However, do know that weight loss is 90% food intake. I do it for the health benefits knowing that it really doesn't add much to my total loss. Good for you! Keep up the great work!

Congratulations on your exercise. When I exercise at a fitness center, I will always use the weight machines to build muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat does.

Exercise is great for weight loss, but is just a small part of it. And just a reminder to those who are confused, sweat does not equal fat burned. It is nothing more than the body reacting to heat. Sweat is nothing more than a coolant. Just to clarify, but congrats on the new found addiction! keep up the good work!

I think diet is to get the weight off, but exercise helps to keep it off, but all in all it still comes down to what you eat. I have to keep reminding myself that whenever I put in the exercise portion on the my fitness pal app that it doesn't mean I can have more calories for the day, but it sure feels good that it says that I can!
