Will you be my friend?
I'm getting discouraged by how many people I look up to on here..
that net 500 calories.
That's fine if you do!!!
It's just I want to lose fat/gain muscle
without forcing myself into starvation. :/
(I'm trying really hard not to be mean, again..I don't care if you net that much
I just want friends who eat more, so I can learn how to be as healthy as possible)

    Can never have to many friends. I am currently on 1510 caloric intake to start my maintenance, which is something that is going to be a long road of learning. I am maintaining, and still slowly losing but once I am down another 5 lbs, if I need to up my calories to hold steady I will, not going down the psycho road where I need a psychologist for a food disorder.
    Add me if you want to, I am not in my 20's but have daughter's who are.

    I try to net at least 1400 to 1600 calories a day. I don't know how it's possible to net 500 calories and still be functioning so I understand what you're saying. I used to only do 1200 to 1300 but found myself starving! Feel free to add me!

    I eat around 1900-2100 calories a day depending on my workout that day and I work out 6 days a week pretty intense and then the 7th day I do a tiny bit of cardio or I feel lazy. I log everything I eat and have an open diary to friends! Feel free to add me. I have no idea how anyone can eat only 500 calories a day...my 2 Year old eats more than that and is a lean, mean, eating machine!

    You can add me too. I eat 1700 a day and run and work out pretty regularly (except the last month when I was on vacation - but back at it now that I am home).

    I also try to always be positive and supportive and don't give diary advice unless asked.

    You can add me! I eat, and I don't understand people who can function with crazy low net cals...I don't even really understand how people function on 1200 cals! I try to net around 1500 and will usually eat anywhere between 1700 - 1900 per day depending on my exercise.

    I eat between 1700 and 2200 a day and workout 6 days a week (i'm training for a half marathon and just started p90x on my non-running days). I try to net at least 1500/day. Feel free to add me - I"m always looking for people who eat and like exercise. My diary is open to friends - I cook a lot and eat pretty healthy but I'm not a saint : )

    I'm an old lady compared to you, but I have my goal set to 1700 currently and am on maintenance (which is harder than losing as it turns out!). Some days I go over calories and some days I'm under, but I'm generally a big eater. I log every day and my diary is open. Feel free to check it out and add me if you'd like! :drinker:

    Hey anybody on here can feel free to me. I try to net 1200 - 1500 calories + eat back what I work out usually. I'm a pretty good support buddy and would love some new friends on here.

    Lol. My bf will finish off cookies and hold out an empty hand to me and say "and here is your cookie"! I stick my tongue out and imagine whacking him in the head! I think once I've lost 20 pounds I'll be more open to not being such a stickler to what I eat but since I recently quit smoking I'm worried I'll replace smoking with sweets.

    Omg that's so mean, but so sweet at the same time. At least he's looking out for you, if only in a dumb-guy kinda way. My bf waves cookies and donuts in my face, then asks if I am "allowed" to have it. I tell him yes I can have it, but I don't want it.

    I'm trying to eat clean, eat more and be strong. If you need a friend like this send a message with your request. I can always use more friends that love food!
