Need advise please

My personal opinion? YES, definitely too few calories. You are burning more calories than you're even eating in a day. Your body needs the nutrients for fuel to keep going. Please up your calorie intake. I don't think you necessarily need to eat all 3,200, but you should be much closer. Your body needs the calories to give you fuel to keep your immune system up and your body fully functioning. Best of luck - sounds like you're making good progress!

24 lbs in 32 days? That's a HUGE loss, wonderful for you sure -- but too much too fast imho. Up your eating, go for a 3 lb a week loss which is something you'll be able to maintain. I'd suggest spending your time on MFP learning how to eat healthy -- not just dropping the weight lightning fast.

In my opinion, you should be eating more calories. There's no way I'd be able to sustain your current strategy. But my goal is a healthier lifestyle, which includes weight loss in addition to putting good fuel in my body. And for me, weight loss is a marathon, not a race. It's taken me this entire year to lose 74 pounds, and I still have 9 to go. But with the lifestyle changes I've made, I know I'll get there.

That being said, I don't eat back my exercise calories most days, and I know most people on here do and frown upon those who do not.

The best advice I can give is to listen to your body. Are you lethargic? Are you really hungry all the time? I admire your commitment to weight loss, but I'd encourage you to think of your long-term health as well.

This is unhealthy. Your vital organs require a certain number of calories a day to function healthily. You require calories to breathe, for your heart to beat, and even thinking burns calories. That is why it's never recommended to go under 1200 calories. And that's a rough estimate. If you continue to eat less than a net of 1200 (and really, you should use a calculator to get a more accurate number); you are putting your health at risk. Slow and steady does it. As people say, it takes years to put on all that weight and it could take as long to take it off. That's why the site doesn't recommend losing more than 2 pounds per week. It's frustrating that we can magically make ourselves into an ideal, but that's the way it is.

I agree with all of these posts. I am Mainscott's wife and I think it is great that he wants to lose the weight but I agree that he needs to do it in a healthy way. We are doing this to get healthy and we didn't get this way overnight so it will take time to get off the weight.

Keep up the good work and dedication and be patient. You are doing great. I am proud of you, Scott.
