    I net at about 900 most days. I keep seeing the up your calories comments so I think i am gonna try that. I'll also look at the TDEE right now to see what i can change. :)

    So you already knew what the problem was.

    I agree with what everyone else is saying, I've been doing this and am losing. I've also started spreading my calories out throughout the day between 6 meals. The first week I did this, I lost 6 lbs!!! Of course, I've got quite a bit more to lose... :wink:

    That's insanely low. I'm 152lbs and I'm eating 1650-2150 a day to lose 0.4lbs ish a week.

    Good idea to try, it should help speed up your metabolism if done properly.

    Yeah, hun, 900 is way too low for someone your weight and height. Since I don't know your body fat percentage I can't use the Katch-McArdle formula but using the Mifflin - St Jeor it looks like your BMR is 1676 and maintenance is 2011 so with a 15% cut in calories that amounts to 1710 plus exercise calories that you should be consuming a day.

    Are you weighing EVERYTHING that you put into your mouth?



    Hehehehehe not mature enough for this one.


    But yeah, you should be netting a bit more than just 900 calories. And vary your exercise, incorporate strength training if you haven't already.
