Does anyone want to do a challenge/experiment with me?

Hey all!
I am nearing the end of Phase 1 and was thinking of doing a challenge (an experiment might be more appropriate). I have a ton of trouble eating enough (terrified of eating more), but have read too many success stories to refute the idea.
I am planning to do the following over the next 8 weeks:
- decrease cardio to my runs 3 days a week (no intervals after lifting)
- lift heavy - this will just continue
- eat at least 1900 cals a day net - this will be TOUGH; Ive been trying to break the mentality of eating less and suffering is the only way to go
I will be stepping FAR away from the scale and will only weigh in at the end of the month. I will take weekly measurements (which I have been doing off and on for months).
I think I will blog about it on my Tumblr, so I wondered if anyone wanted to join me? I thought if a few of us did it, it might make the crazy worry times better. That could just be me though. :happy:
I plan to post this on the main board and on another group, so please excuse the multiple posts in advance!
Have a great day all!

I'm sort of doing this. I'm in the middle of Phase 1, and I've been slowly increasing my calories over the past couple weeks. I'm now around 1800-1900 and that's where I'll be staying put for the next four weeks (come hell or high water!) I did measurements and a weigh-in on Saturday, and I'll be doing weekly weigh-ins and measurements every Saturday. Weekly is a big jump from a former daily scale worshipper like me. We'll be crazy together!0
