Phew. Because I'm going to devour a small bowl of pasta very soon :)

Thanks for your advice *googling reverse dieting* now.
-
Thanks - what's the rule of thumb for that?

Hello, gosh no 1200 would be too low for maintenance. It just feels like my body has gotten used to that small an intake and has adapted. I also log all exercise and try to ensure I eat proteins to cover the calorie burn other wise the delta would be ridiculous and unhealthy. Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. There have been consistent messages shared with me today. Shake up my routine, keep my body guessing, stop my body from adapting. I really appreciate your advice. Astrid.

That a good idea - is that like that diet where you eat 600 calories two days a week?
-
That's really interesting - sometimes I wonder if my body retains my weight because under the conditions I work under most people would get ill. (I am conditioned and trained for such environment).

It's interesting you mention the word "stress" - I have an incredibly stressful (but rewarding) job including 18 hours a day plus long distance travel. I find my sleep is light and short and I had to cancel my annual leave this year. I wonder if the theory regarding stress and retaining weight is correct?

My periods are a lot lighter when I diet, but I retain water badly.
-
I think its a sensible question - but as I don't drink or smoke, coffee is my vice! I even had Starbucks deliver a skinny latte to my bedside this morning. :)

My goodness, that sounds scary. I would have to do that I think along side an expert, as I fear a meal plan will be replaced with a packet of chocolate biscuits!

Time to introduce HIIT again I think. *groans*
-
I am in my comfort zone when it comes to fitness. Perhaps I am guilty of thinking I regularly work out without actually stretching or pushing myself. Perhaps I have become complacent in my training.
-
That a good point, I am very active - perhaps my body is retaining water after long runs.
-
I am afraid I think you're right. I am closer to 40 this time, than 30....

Good morning, I hope not! I stick to 1200. Interestingly I put weight on, the moment I eat any more than that.
