I NEED more friends who are doing this the healthy way and actually eat while still achieving weight loss. I have too many friends who don't eat and it's starting to affect the way I feel about eating. PLEASE add me, message me or comment if this applies to you. I wanna be friends! :happy:

    I LOVE food. You can add me if you want. I haven't really made any progress but that's because I'm not really supplementing with exercise. I'm getting there, but starving is NEVER going to be an option for this girl!! :)

    I am looking for the same thing! I get really intimidated when all or most of my friends are eating only 1200 calories a day or less. Kudos if you can do that, but I CAN'T. And I never will. I have thought about lowering it to 1500, but that is the lowest I would ever go, AND it wouldn't be long term. I want to lose weight, but I am not in a race.

    I think it takes time (and proof) to get into the 'eat more to weigh less' mindset. I know I've lost a tonne of weight (from 220 to 130) by restricting heavily. I was NOT in a healthy place physically or mentally plus I put half of it back on. Now in eating healthy, as clean as is sustainable and having what I want in moderation. I'm also doing insanity. And I feel and look amazing! Haha! I weigh more than I have done but I'm tighter and leaner.

    I'm on my third round of insanity with maybe 1 month breaks in between where it's been xmas or vacation so I've basically done no exercise and overindulged. In those months I put on max 4 lbs which fell off when I reigned it back in. I'm quite proud of myself actually!

    I friend requested you. I definitely understand and am looking for the same. I kickboxing, strength training, insanity- I do it all. I have to eat a minimum of 1500 calories. Anyone who is trying to lose weight and exercising does.

    I will friend request you, I look at some peoples diaries and literally feel weak - I need to eat all through the day and I lose every week - 1 or 2 pounds. There are men who could eat 2000 cals a day and lose but eat 8 or 9 hundred. Why? I feel like begging them to eat more but I don't want to offend anyone, they must have so little energy to get through the day.

    NOT kudos to them. Kudos to YOU for doing it right and being healthy about it!

    I added you, and anyone can feel free to add me. I try to eat around 1270 a day, but go over sometimes as well. I do not restirck my eating (because I love food) but I am tired of being over 200 lbs so I am just choosing to eat a little cleaner and i dont worry about taking the weight off quickly. I want it to stay off this time instead of coming back 2 fold.

    I am losing weight and am eating healthy I think. You are more than welcome to become friend and review my daily food. I did recaluate my goals to lose a lb and half vs 1 lb a week so my daily food looks over by some but wasn't over before recaluated but not feeling hungry and eating.
