    Under 1000 calories is FAR TOO LITTLE.

    You probably need at least 600 more calories.

    Go check with this http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

    Then be sure and read this thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013

    It also doesn't matter what time you eat. Your body can't tell time. All that crap about not skipping breakfast, eating 6 meals a day, and not eating after X pm is just crap. You can do all those things, but you certainly don't have to.

    It does matter what time of day you eat. If you eat a meal right before bed, you are not giving your body time to burn those calories, you should never eat a meal 3 hours before bed, your body goes into a resting stage and will store all those carbs, fats and unwated calories. Women should always eat a healthy breakfast, it does help with weight loss and will help with snacking unhealthy foods throughout the day.
    BRO SCIENCE

    You people are trying to give weight loss advice to a girl who claims to want to lose weight yet she is 5'3'' and 123 lbs. I am 5'1'' and 123 lbs and overweight I am not. So... stop telling this girl how to lose weight and tell her something different. Tell her if she wants to tone up to lift weights, etc....

    But I still stand by my original post that this person is trolling.
    lol yep

    When you complete your diary at the end of each day are you not getting a message that if you eat too little your body will go into starvation mode and you will not lose weight?

    At 5'3 and 123 - you have no weight to lose and likely are skinny. Stop killing yourself, please.

    You have to replace the calories you burned. If you are consuming 1000 calories per day and then burning close to half with a daily workout, you need to replace the calories. You are already below what the average person would burn just going about their normal day. Your body does go into starvation mode. Also watch your sugar and sodium intake. I've lost 24 pounds in 50 days, during one week I had a positive weight gain of half a pound and I noticed my sugars and especially sodium was higher than daily goal for three days leading up to my biweekly weigh-in. I started paying attention to both of those and got back on track. Good luck and keep up with your efforts!

    Think of your body as a high-performance machine (which of course, it is). You want to keep the gas tank full of high-grade fuel so your body can perform the way you want it to.


    Right now, you are keeping the tank on empty.

    Because you are not eating enough. You should be eating 1200 cals AND your exercise calories to lose weight!

    Thank you for your advice:) i can share my diary, but a lot of meals are in my motherlanguage ( which is Hungarian) so you guys wont understand it. yes im a vegetarian, but im eating milk products, eggs, and sometimes even fish for protein. im really not starving, today i ate 200 cal more than usual

    If u have been eating at this level for some time, your body will have adjusted to this and slowed your metabolism down (by reducing muscle mass.) minimum intake for healthy nutrition is 1200cal/day. If your not happy with your shape within the healthy weight range, then get to the gym, or use a home bodyweight programme to build some muscle and loose bodyfat. Your weight may not change but your body shape sure will, with pleasing results!

    At 5'3" and 123 lbs, you don't even NEED to lose any weight! Up your calories and start lifing, so you can TONE, but please, if nothing else, START EATING! You are not being kind to your body at 1000 calories a day and you could eventually have long standing health issues as a result.

    I like this thread. You guys are smart and giving great advice. Well, except for the one about it matters what time of day you eat. Even I know that one is out dated.

    How long have you been working at this? I'll tell you what my boyfriend told me when I decided to lose weight: Starting from the day you start making changes to lose weight, don't look at the scale for at least a month. It'll take that long to see the results you want.

    You are 5'3" and 123. Need I say more?

    You aren't "skinny"? Um, yes you probably are. What about your health? Are you intending to be skeletal?

    Please, get some help for your distorted view of your body and/or eating disorder.

    Edit: a fish is an animal. And meat and fat from wild or grass-fed animals is actually healthy (but I'm not saying that you have to eat it, just pointing out a fallacy). I'm pretty sure that your body (including brain) is in desperate need of abundant high quality fat and protein.
