I also take the appetite suppressant phentermine so I don't ever feel like I need more than 800. I've lost 6 pounds in 5 days. I feel so good. 16 lbs down now. 54 more to go! Fyi when I get to or near my goal weight I will slowly go up to 900 then 1000 until I get to 1200 which is my maintenance calories. This is…

Thanks everyone. I am logging EVERYTHING. Even my coffee grounds and gum lol I just want to make sure my workouts aren't making it harder to lose weight by not eating back any of the calories.
