57 pounds down :) Pics!

My routine was basically keeping to about 1200 calories a day. Sometimes I went over, and the next day I would make up for it. My only real form of exercise is running. I mess with weights a little but I have not touched them in a while. Lately, I have been so busy that the gym has not been part of my day. I work at a school as a student teacher, so without the exercise I compensate by being very strict with my diet. I eat little meat, and a lot of veggies and fruits. I finally got to the point where junk food is literally not worth it to me...so I do not indulge in it much.

K, I'm going to be the queen of "buzzkill" here.

I just looked at your diary from November 1-now. I don't have time to go back months and months....

In the last 11 days there has been only ONE day where you ate over 500 calories.

Most days you are under 300 calories.

That is all I'm going to point out to everyone, because you are not eating 1200 calories as stated....

Wow you have done a fantastic job at dropping the weight!

Congratulations! You have consumed a whopping 3054 calories in the past eleven days! A little more than I eat in a single day.

By the way, October 29th, a cup of tea and a slice of bread..? THIS IS CALLED AN EATING DISORDER. You need to seek professional help. Please.

It is shocking that only two of us have noted that.
*shakes my head*

You are an inspiration!!

I went through your diary for the past 6 months, and unless there's a LOT of unlogged food, looks like you averaged less than 700 net calories. Furthermore, you used to be eating more and exercising, and it seems like that has slowed down quite a bit, as your intake has gotten progressively lower, and now you have a regular intake around 300 calories. I would postulate that the recent lack of exercise, whether you realize it or not, is because your body is starving and you are subconsciously preserving energy. Your metabolism is slowing, your body is using your muscle tissue as fuel, and you're risking hormonal interruptions and health consequences that may or may not be reversible. Your pictures show a person that is starving themselves, and I don't think people should be giving you praise, as it is encouraging your descent in to an eating disorder. This situation is serious. Life and death serious. Please go see someone- a doctor, a counselor, a dietitian- whoever you feel comfortable with and show them your diary. Please, get help. You obviously have people in your life that love you- you should lean on them, and try to help yourself so those people can love you for a long time. I really hope you hear this message. I wish you the best. :flowerforyou:

You look awesome! Thanks for sharing. Just curious how tall are you? What an accomplishment!

LOOK AT YOUR CURVES GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-faints with jealously-

I want to revoke this previous statement after going through your diary. You are eating far too little, it's almost frightening.

No almost.

Super job. Congrats. You have inspired me. I have another 20lbs to go before I get there. I was feeling a bit down today and this post helped. Many thanks. You look super.

Amazing Transformation!!
