Same! I am 145 , 5"6.5 and want to get down to 135!

Ok let me tell you a story- I was doing the same thing for two weeks and nothing happened - my weight wouldn't budge! Then I stopped working out for four days and ate 1600-1800calories a day for a couple days in a row and lost three lbs overnight! Your body is probably retaining a lot of water from exercise and eating so…

I know what you mean, I've always had those kind of days once in a while. It's bizarre - my body must be craving a certain nutrient.

I'm 5'6.5" and 149lbs. I've been eating from 1300-1400 calories a day but today more like 1584 and yesterday I had 1800 cause there was free pizza in front of me :(

I just can't believe you can lose weight and eat that much that is so crazy! I'm just going to eat more and see what happens I can't take this anymore!!! Aaaah!

Sigh...definitely motivation to hit the gym! I eat between 1300-1500 a day usually...I don't work out all the time though.

I'm in the same exact boat! 5'6.5" Cw:149 Gw: 135 I am getting married in July and would like to get down to my goal weight by May/June! Ive been at it for a little over a week...started at 150 and have lost one pound so far...this takes foooorrrreeeevvveerrrr lol

You are pretty petite so if you feel ok eating that much I'm sure it's fine. The 1200 calorie thing came from studying someone in a coma? How big was this person? Was it a male or female? How old were they? Everyone is different, and I honestly don't think 1200 calorie rule applies to everyone.

I'm pretty sure it's physiologically impossible to gain or retain weight if you are eating at a calorie defecit...maybe at first but eventually it will give in and start metabolising itself for energy.

I don't weigh or measure fresh vegetables -just estimate. I don't want to ever restrict my vegetable intake and eat as much of them as I want. With fruit I am more careful but never weigh stuff. I measure with cups and spoons. Mostly I just try not to eat a lot -I haven't felt totally full since I've started this and wake…

I'm 5'6.5" and my goal weight is 135. I've always been around 140-142lbs but gained weight after stopped birth control a couple of months ago (went up to 150lbs). The lowest I've ever been was 137 and I looked really good...but I had to work reeeeally hard to get down to that. Once I reach 140 my goal weight may change…

I really like paleo in that it promotes clean eating by cutting cutting out processed foods. I think that's something everyone can benefit from. Some of the details like avoiding beans and rice...are goofy in my opinion. Also...almonds are ok but peanuts aren't? This is goofy.

Woah according to the scoobyworkshop I need to eat 1900 calories a day to lose weight...that's kind of crazy?? I've been eating way less than that but I don't ever feel super hungry or dizzy or anything.

Sorry I meant older than I was since last time I dieted...I'm pretty sure it was a little easier when I was 22! :dizzy_face:

I am 29. On my cheat day I ate 1500 calories of food and 500 calories of alcohol lol

Eat a TON of veggies! If I'm feeling really hungry I'll have a HUGE salad (like 3cups of romaine) with my meal and it fills me up.

Me too! Sw: 152 Cw: 148.2 Gw: 145 Ugw: 135

Hey at least your pants fit! I gained so much weight over the holidays that I can't even button my pants :( I've never had to be constantly tracking before but my metabolism must be slowing down or something. Looks like I'll have to be mindful of what I eat all the time from now on if I want to keep from gaining...sigh :(

I'm also trying to lose 15lbs for my wedding! I'm shooting for a pound a week so I will be right behind you!

Me too! Looking to lose 15lbs for my wedding this July :)

I think investing in really nice Tupperware is key! I always bring my lunch to work along with my water bottle to stay hydrated. I don't let myself eat anything else until I get home. Saves me tons of money! I like making big batches of soup and stews on Sundays.

Im in the same boat as you. Right now I have a goal to go to the gym twice a week since I know that's all I will realistically achieve. I tried going in the morning before work but I end up being so exhausted..it didn't really work well for me. I might start doing some YouTube Pilates before bed, that's a good idea!

I once spent a month burning 400-500 calories a day with rigorous excercise and only ate about 1200-1300 calories a day. I gained 5lbs that month. I'm pretty sure my body was just really stressed out and it was storing water or something...I did not feel good...I wouldn't do that again. Once I stopped working out so hard I…

Haha exactly how I feel sharizzle- if this doesn't motivate me nothing will! We can do it guys!
