    WHAT are you eating.., your diary is private.? (1800 calories of crap isn't very healthy.)

    I choose to make my diary private because it helps me stay honest with myself and it makes my life less stressful. I had it open for a while but didn't like it. I may end up making it public again but I'm not comfortable doing that at this time.

    But, even if I was eating crap (which I'm not), I should still be losing weight in a calorie deficit, regardless of where those calories are coming from. Science has proven that even if someone eats junk food they are still able to lose weight as long as they are eating less calories then their body is burning. My food isn't in question here. Let me clarify - I don't eat junk food. I rarely eat chips, candy, or fast food - I've not had fast food in three years. I don't drink, I rarely have cake or sweets (about once or twice a month). I drink one can of soda every two weeks. I eat mainly chicken, rice, fruit, veggies, eggs, that sort of thing.

    But, as I said, my food is not in question. A calorie deficit is a calorie deficit. But rest assured, I'm not eating "crap".

    I didn’t say you were eating crap. I said crap isn’t healthy. It’s not all about the numbers; it’s about eating healthy in the end. Heck a person can smoke cigs or crack & not be hungry…, but it’s not healthy. Maybe I have a different outlook than most people on here. I’m all about being healthy, not thin. A smaller build is a bonus I achieve while living a healthy lifestyle.

    So you eat healthy and diet isn't a problem, that leaves one other part of the equation to look at. Exercise. How much do you get? Honestly I doubt it's all muscle you are building, unless you've lost a lot of inches. I don't mean this in a rude way, I'm only saying this because I workout pretty intensely throughout the week and I know I haven't been gaining a lot of muscle, I have of course gaiend some, but it's a process and it takes awhile. People on here act like we become body builders overnight. It doesn't work like that.
