    You might be asking the wrong (=irrelevant) questions. People who have success with weight loss/management, don't think so much about what they can do for a short while, and a lot more about what they can do - happily and somewhat effortlessly - forever.

    What did you do?

    Ooops, kommodevaran, you're locked up! If it's for a good cause I might put my sheep behind bars as well in solidarity :D

    TO: don't overdo things. What's your current weight, gender, age and size? Lets take it from there, ok? Slow and steady wins the race.

    WHY? It seems a drastic cut and therefore shock to your system. Is this the calorie target mfp has set?

    1. your body - You'll lose weight

    Extremely likely, but not certainly, since OP has left out the single most important piece of information -- his or her TDEE. Picture a short, underweight, inactive person who has only been eating 6000 for a short while as part of a recovery program or in a binge-and-bust cycle, and now is going back to a maintenance level of 1300.

    @mysteps2beauty, if you give us your stats (height, weight, activity level, age, gender), we could give you much better answers, especially for numbers 1-3. #4 is fairly idiosyncratic, and YMMV.

    I assembled a diet from ordinary foods I like, and an exercise regimen based on daily activity like walking, dancing and playing. I plan my meals and grocery shopping, I cook more from scratch, I weigh myself daily. I work with stress relief and emotions management. In short, I try to do meaningful things.

    no, to be behind bars! :laugh:
    Haha! No, I don't know, I haven't checked, I assume I have said something that disagrees with MFP's "New Order".

    ok, call me stupid, but how is you behind bars?

    When a user gets a "warning" from an admin, their avatar appears with an overlay of prison bars. I'm not seeing it though, so perhaps it was done in error.

    Yes, what's your weight?

    Are you saying you were eating 6,000 calories every day and have gone down to 1,300?

    If so, how are you calculating that? Weighing food and logging everything in MFP?

    For how long were you on 6,000?
