Hi all!

I joined MFP about a month ago but I don't have too many friends on here! I'm looking for people who are high calorie eaters- that is, consuming 1800+ calories/day. I've been reading around on a lot of threads about the success people have had consuming a lot of calories while still losing weight, and I'm convinced. My minimum calorie goal per day is set to 1850, but I might even bump it higher! I am 5'8, 155, and looking to lose 15 lbs for my wedding in 8 months. :) I work out at the gym 4 mornings a week, and have been doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred dvd every day, so I burn anywhere from 180-600 calories in a day depending on what I do that day. I'm looking to keep up with 5-6 days/week of moderate to intense exercise with 1 day a week of rest/low intensity exercise (like the 2 mile round trip walk that my fiance & I take to Starbucks on Saturday mornings... LOL).

Anyway, I would love to be friends with anyone who has similar goals. I want to lose weight, but I don't want to starve myself! I'm tired of seeing 1200 calorie food diaries from people who claim to burn 500 calories a day in cardio! It's not sustainable and it's not my style!

    Feel free to add me if you'd like... and if you don't do it already, I can speak highly of taking up heavier lifting. :o) It might not drop the pounds as fast as you'd like, but it changes your body!

    you can add me :) Mine is set at 1800 too. I can't function on any less than that. I have severe hypoglycemia where my blood sugar drops into the low 60s 2 hours after I eat so I have to keep my sugar up or I pass out, so I eat 1800 - 2000 because I do eat every 2 hours....sometimes I eat 1800 sometimes 2000 depending on the amount I exercise a day.

    feel free to add me. im set to 1500 but eat back my exercise calories, which are anywhere between 400 to 700, so I normally eat about 1900-2100 a day.

    Hey, I'll add you! My diary is open. I'm trying to eat at least 1800 on rest days and 2000-2400 on workout days. Great to see a woman eating!
