    read the info on the internet and in these message rooms about metabolism needs....I've found that I have to eat a lot more calories than I wanted to, and am now eating about 1400-1660 a day, for a 1/2 lb weight loss/wk. I think I have had to "reset" my metabolism after years of abuse - this is the first time in my life that my body is getting adequate food! So I am hoping that I am training it to not believe it is "starving"......it takes time,which is my nemisis, but the Good Lord seems to want me to learn that.....no quick fixes.... don't give up 5 minutes before the miracle happens!!!!
