Your body's thoughts on calories

WOW!
This thread just made me realize I probably am in a starvation mode for months now O_O

I'm unemployed n searching for a job. Most of my day I sit in front of pc applying for job and doing nothing I don't feel hungry = there are days I only eat dinner or breakfast + dinner. Lately I started excercising regularly and not only I haven't lost a pound or inch I actually gaind 2lbs and 1cm in waist and hips O_O

Just checked my BMR and since my BMI is under 26 I'll start to eat my BMR calories + excercise calories and we'll see where will it get me.

Thank you so much for the info and the effort put in it!!!

Cheers,
Beata

Please ignore my post. I misunderstood what people meant by BMR. You have to have a deficit to lose weight, so unless you exercise a lot, your goal calories will be below your BMR.

Yes, I agree totally. I had to lose 40 lbs. I have lost 21 so far and I have gone times with losing 2lbs a week to going a month without losing anything! I have been counting calories and running since November. I just told myself I am in this forever and don't try to rush. I probably only hit the scale about twice a month. I rely mostly on how my clothes fit me to see my progress. Even if my weight isn't shedding quickly ; Hey, I'm running and eating healthy! So as long as I feel good..It's all good.
