    Try a variation of the 80/20 Rule This has helped me immensely!

    Prolonged self deprivation is NEVER a good thing.

    Best of luck to you!

    My first question is why 129 lbs? Do you want to lose more weight? There are three things here, 1200 is way too low for a male, your deficit was crazy aggressive, and 129 itself may be a bit low for your body (it depends on the person)... all of these factors mean your body and brain would be calling out for food, and when you violate rules you set for yourself about how much you are going to eat it is really easy to go even more overboard. You say you are going to eat at maintenance - if you find this hard (e.g., feel guilty eating enough), please see an eating disorders therapist so that you can get on track...

    Honest question...is 129lbs for a male of your height healthy? It seems quite low but that could be just me.

    If by 5'65 he means 5'6" then its fine. Im 5'6" and weight about 125. Thats about 7-8% body fat and is just fine.

    Do you stay at about 7-8% or is that what you cut to and stay higher for the most part? If you maintain that, it's damn impressive!

    I stay at it for the most part. I may gain a few pounds after a binge weekend but cut back down again. Been here for quite a while.
