    I’m not sure I follow...
    With my height, weight, measurements, and activity level, 800 calories is what I would need to consume to lose 2lbs/wk.

    Hmm I put in your stats with a low activity level (not sure what you do) and 1,270 cal a day to lose 2lbs a weeks and 1,770 1lb a week

    Okay, so... I’m hearing everyone say that a 2lb/wk weight loss goal is “bad”, but not why. If one pound is good, two pounds is great! That’s why it’s a goal! It’s s challenge.

    Because you need a certain amount of nutrition to keep from losing hair, brittle nails, irritability, depression, fatigue, inability to concentrate at work and school, muscle cannibalization, damaged immune system and thyroid, the list goes on.

    You cannot eat 800 calories a day and be healthy. So. Pick one.

    a) Posts intended to promote potentially unsafe or controversial weight loss products or procedures, including non-medically prescribed supplements or MLM products will be removed without warning.
    b) Profiles, groups, messages, posts, or wall comments that encourage anorexia, bulimia, or very low calorie diets of any kind will be removed, and may be grounds for account deletion. This includes positive references to ana/mia, purging, or self-starving. Our goal is to provide users with the tools to achieve their weight management goals at a steady, sustainable rate.
