Hi everyone,

My name is Steph and I think I am gonna try eat more to weigh less!

A little history of myself:

First joined weight watchers around 2005 and lost 64 pounds and became a lifetime member. Second time I joined was April of 2011 and currently lost 56 pounds and reinstated my lifetime membership. I know that this is a low calorie plan and that is why I am here.

My current weight (since over a month ago, hardly ever weigh myself) is 128. My height is 5'3". 37 years old.

I am in Stage 5 of NROL4W. I am fatigued constantly. Could it be that I'm not eating enough? I think so.

I can't eat like this forever, love food too much

So here I am. I read stickies and watched the videos. Here are my calculations:

BMR - 1327
TDEE - 2058
daily calories based on goal - 1749

So, I would like to lose a little more fat. Thinking of doing a metabolism reset.

For the reset I would eat 2058 daily and NOT go under 1327 (BMR) correct? Then after reset start eating at 1749 and NEVER go under BMR, right?

Gonna admit, really scared to eat more.

^^ This. My first week I had trouble eating my calories and I was only going up by 386 cals. Then this week, I am fine until about 3:00 PM and then I go into hunger mode and I am so hungry. It is crazy.

As you have seen from my posts on my page I really think the eating more is already paying off and this is only week 2 for me. I am also sleeping so much better -I went from waking up 5-6 times a night to 1-2.

Anyway, I am so excited you decided to do this!! I think your body is going to thank you!

Holy crap you aren't kidding. INSANE hunger. My poor body and its desperate attempt to recoup nutrients. Anyway, welcome OP!
