I made a huge mistake

SW: 75kg CW: 75kg GW: 60kg Height: 163cm

For about a month now I’ve been changing my eating habits as well as exercising almost every day (aerobics for about 50 minutes or a 5km walk with friends). I’ve been feeling great and much healthier and happier, but the scale hasn’t budged. And despite losing a few cm off my waist measurement at the start, it hasn’t budged since then either.

I was really confused and disheartened. What was going on? Why weren’t the kilos shifting? I was logging everything onto MFP and staying under my calorie allowance.

Today it hit me. I’m eating back all my exercise calories. I’m probably overestimating calorie expenditure and underestimating calories eaten. I feel like such an idiot.

Here’s to next month hopefully being a bit better.
