Ahh thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate it! I think I've finally got a better handle/understanding of things. Today is only day 4 for me, so I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing for a few weeks and then reasess. I have increased my calories though and feel great! As for my random symptoms, I'm hoping…

@ KnitOrMiss - I'm not intentionally doing such a high deficit, it just happens that that's the amount of calories that makes me full :) I'll be sure to watch it though, as I don't want to stall my weight loss in any way!

Should I be concerned that I'm not meeting my daily calorie goal? I had it set to 1300 calories/day, but was finding it really hard to actually consume that much. I'm finding since I've upped my fat and lowered my carbs, I'm fuller for longer and don't need to eat 1300/day. I eat around 1000 + or - depending on the day,…

@ KnitOrMiss - thanks! Having an idea on what to work towards definitely helps! I want to make some broth to drink - would I just use the normal knorr bouillon cubes for this?

@ Karlottap - the numbers did seem a little out of whack. Definitely going to stick closer to the first set of macros! @ KnitOrMiss - Thanks for the info! I had no idea that I needed more than 64 ounces. I guess I was just going by what is usually recommended! How much sodium should I be getting/day? I usually sprinkle on…

@ Sunny_Bunny_ and @ kimmydear: thanks for your replies! I'm going to stick closer to the ankler calculator, as I feel more comfortable with the macros. Thank you :) Also, @kimmydear - I've just added you !

@ JodehFoster: thanks for the reply! I thought it might be a little soon, but wasn't sure. My diet was TERRIBLE before switching. Lots of highly processed foods, added sugars, a lot of carbs etc. I thought the symptoms might be caused by my body getting rid of excess toxins etc I'm definitely drinking plenty of water. I…

Hi rabbitjb, thank you very much for your response. I suppose I should have given my stats to give everyone a better idea. I'm 5'8, and currently about 192lbs. Looking to get down to anywhere between 145-160lbs. When I put my info into MFP it set my calorie goal to 1200 (to loose about 2lbs/week). I choose the "lightly…

I would like to say that I am in fact eating food. I eat all sorts of raw veggies, tons of protein, whole grain brown rice, chickpeas, greek yogurt, fruit etc every day. That's not my problem. My problem is that I have trouble finishing each of my meals without feeling overly full, which has led me to not be able to hit my…

Thank you kimberlyhurt and malibu927 for your more positive comments... I will take that all into consideration and make the appropriate changes.

Maybe because I changed my username? I was told it wasn't wise to include both first and last name as a username, so I changed it. I'm sorry if anyone thought my post was "ridiculous *****" but I was asking an honest question. Now I just may consider deactivating if this is the kind of responses I'll get in the future.

I'm sorry, but I never deactivated my account.. and I don't really appreciate the rude comments. I was asking an honest question, because like I said, I'm new to this. I thought this place was about supporting one another... but all I feel is discouraged to even post on this site. So thank you...

This thread is absolutely incredible!!! SOOOOO much inspiration. I wish I could comment on each and every one of you, but lets face it, that would take forever! I think you all are doing WONDERFULLY and I hope I can add my transformation eventually :smile: Keep up the fantastic work everyone!

Would anyone perhaps be able to post some of the recipes on here? I am flat broke and can't buy the book, but I'd really love to try the recipes out!
