At least I hope to get that body back! It's been annoying running in a hilly area lately with all this excess fat weighing me down. Feel like I'm climbing a mountain with a 50 pound backpack on

Yeah good point. I'll try to increase it by 200 calories/day each week

I feel like the level of discipline which you obviously have that enables you to weigh daily without going crazy is something I'll have to work for awhile to attain. Thanks for the advice, I'll set that as one of my goals

I definitely love the running part lol. Hate lifting weights though. I've always just been so bad at it. I've been mostly underweight most of my life except for a year where i ballooned up to 320, then a year losing it, and then now, right at the tail end of losing it, with a rebound from 200 to 240 (intentionally) For…

Yeah my plan is to bump the calories up now. And *continue* logging accurately :p You guys eat a lot more than me which I find impressive. I would love to eat 3000 a day but I fear the consequences. My LBM is probably a lot lower than yours. Hopefully I can remedy that in the gym

I honestly don't think that will happen. Since it didn't the first time. But I'm upping to 2000 anyways. Just because 1000 doesn't feel like it's working

I've also mentioned here several times that I'm planning or seriously considering upping my calories to 2000 lol. About as much as it's been suggested

I've considering trying to find a way to fake a hypothyroidism diagnosis so I could get T3 supplements and eat more. Just to eat more lol. But truly I had my thyroid levels checked recently for something else and everything looked good. I even asked specifically about T3/T4 and GP said I was solid. Even a little above…

Yeah that's exactly the reason I'm afraid of weighing infrequently. In case whatever I'm doing isn't working, then I'll have a really rude awakening when I weigh

How often do you guys weigh? I hate weighing every day. Half the days I feel good, half depressed

WHAT THE F*** DUDE SERIOUSLY j/k. that was a good one

The only thing I've noticed is that my hair grows a little slower. I'm not 100% sure though. It grows really fast normally already. Nails.. stupidly hard. I have to soak them in water to cut and even then it's annoyingly hard. Here's one thing though, my gallbladder I never even knew what a gallbladder was before the big…

Well thanks for letting me know. Some people here are being legit rude though. Sorry

Just out of curiosity, why didn't it happen when I went from 320 to 200 in 11 months @ 1000/day? I had zero healthy problems. Just got more and more naturally athletic as the weight went down. And felt really awesome. Was it just that I had so ridiculously much more weight to lose then than I do now?

Word I love it lol Will do. Thanks

No. Probably because on some level I know he'll say some of the same stuff that the polite people in this thread have been saying about how unhealthy it is. I probably should though.

I honestly don't know why 1000 is unhealthy in my case, given my health and how I feel. But everyone and everything says that it is and unlike what a lot of jerks have said in this thread I am not a know-it-all and am perfectly happy putting a little faith in other people's expertise on this issue. I imagine the primary…

Do you mind me asking your height? You seem to have a really high BMR (could also be a lot of muscle. i don't have much)

those actually sound pretty awesome. I'll check them out thanks. sounds like this site has a lot of resources I should have been using

I guess this is worth mentioning. But before I do, let me clarify (because I need to clarify this or else you guys will insist on taking it the wrong way and continue your rudeness) that this isn't me disagreeing. I'm just stating it in case it's relevant. Like listing all your symptoms to a doctor. I don't feel any…

I hate cooked fish but I'm willing to try this just because it seems reliable (to measure the calories and macros and all that)

What the hell is with you guys? I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm agreeing with most of everything you say. And the things I'm not agreeing with aren't necessarily me disagreeing... THEY'RE ME NOT UNDERSTANDING What is so hard to understand about that? Jesus christ

Don't go accusing someone of lying just because they might be wrong about something. I'm not exactly defending eating below my BMR. I ONLY said that I don't understand why eating below my BMR will cause me to lose less than if I ate more. I never disagreed that eating below my BMR was unhealthy. I know it is and agree…

Thanks I'll look into this. I hadn't really thought of this site as more than a forum (since it came up when I googled for weight loss forums to ask about my problem) I'll try out the plan it makes for me But I think I want to lose more than 1 pound a week. Would 2 be unhealthy or ok?

Could you suggest something easy to prepare? I have so little time these days. It's why those diet meals are so convenient

Absolutely nothing rude about what you're saying. And I see this a lot. People who eat more than me and exercise less and lose more. I'm definitely considering some substantial upping of the calories now. But from what people are saying here I'm also leaning towards my primary problems (other than the health risks which I…

Could someone suggest or link to easy to prepare (or preprepared) meals that are way lower in sodium? It sounds like the general consensus here is that I'm retaining a lot of water weight. (and being super unhealthy and potentially causing health problems which I already know about and agree with 100%)

Thanks. I really am impatient and I'm hoping that it's nothing more than typical weird fluctuations

Yes. I always multiply calPerServ * numServ

That's fine. It's really helpful too. Because I'm going to come here with my frustrating *kitten* weight loss issue and lie about it.
