Before I was eating between 1,000 calories-1100 calories. I ate 1,219 calories today. I am making progress on upping my calories. I am doing 1200 calories for a few weeks then will increase to 1300-1400 calories. I am by no means starving. I am also eating off a smaller plate to help my portion control on my eating.

    Welcome! In a few weeks you'll be saying, " I can't believe I only ate 1200!" LOL! In a week or so get ready for the metabolism to kick back in. It's crazy! Great time to up them! Happy Memorial weekend!

    That's a great goal! I started my weight loss journey at 186 pounds. I lost 40 pounds at first and then gained some muscle weight after I became an instructor and was teaching Bodypump. For two years I've plateaued and I'm now seeing if eating more will help me bust through that once and for all. This is a GREAT community. Glad you're here!
