    My motto is slow and steady wins the race. I'm losing about half a lb per week, which feels very slow but it's how to succeed for long term loss.
    You seem to have an all or nothing mentality. Either 10, 000cals a day, now 1000 (which is much too low). Have you thought about talking to someone about your relationship with food?
    I'm 5'3, I workout 4 to 5 days per week, and I'm set at 1530 cals per day for 0.5lbs loss per week. I don't go over cals during the week, and I don't eat my exercise cals back (unless pms hit's and then I do so I stop the hangry). On weekends, I set myself at maintenance so I can have some of the foods I love.
    I've had eating disorders in the past and spoke to a psychiatrist every week for 2 years, nothing seems to help it really.. I've allowed myself to have a 'treat' on a Saturday night otherwise I think I would just end up bingeing.. thanks for all of your help :)

    Yup. I've just had nearly an entire cheat week, and many carbohydrates. Still going to lose weight this week, at very least I'll be the weight plus or minus a pound that I was before this previous cheat week.
