OH NO! I've been eating 2,000 cals a day......

jfrankic

and this happened.....



BF was around 38% in pix 1 ----> 26.2% today.

Following IPOARM (in place of a road map .... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 ), I've been eating 2000+ calories a day for the past 3 1/2 months. During my two months of Insanity, I ate closer to 2100+ and had lots of 3k days and never gained. Now, I'm lifting 2-3x per week with only 15 minutes of HIIT afterwards, averaging 2000 per day and still losing, even though my workouts are less frequent and less intense.

Age: 33
Height: 5' 8"
Current weight: 171

This isn't a final success story, as I've still got work to do. But pictures do say alot. Mine says, "This girl does NOT go hungry. This girl has been losing FAT. This girl is healthy." Seriously....eating 2,000+ a day.

Thanks for sharing! I'm 5'9" and eat anywhere from 1700 to 2100 cals a day and I'm really happy with my progress so far. I'm thinking about just upping my cals to 2k everyday, regardless of workouts just to see what happens. I want to be healthy more than I want to be skinny.

This is exactly what Im doing. Following IPORM, heavy lifting 4x a week and HITT for 30 min after every lifting session! Losing fat and getting stronger!

Yes its, good to eat most of your exercise calories back. Some days I eat 1800 if I move enough.

You've inspired me to up my cals. I've lost 35 lbs since July but I'm just barely under 300 lbs and seem to be stuck the last month. Yesterday I ate close to 2K in cals and lost .5 lbs... so maybe my body is telling me something. I've been seeing all you thinner girls eating more cals then me.. guess I need to start eating like a thin girl!

You look great. Keep it up.

Thank you for posting this! I am still trying to figure out how many calories to eat- its confusing. I am working out more than I ever have in my life but struggling to continue to lose weight. Maybe I need MORE FOOD, which would make me happy
You look awesome!!

Thanks for posting this! I am in the process of boosting my calories up, and I haven't fully adjusted to it yet - less than one week at it. Plus I am still scared Examples like this reduce my anxiety about it.
