Those articles made me feel a lot better about my low calorie diet! But, I was wondering, do you have any idea what number is too few calories? For instance, you're going to get bad effects if you eat under a hundred calories a day. But what about between 500 and 1000?

The last couple of pounds are the hardest. Now that you've lost so much, it's going to be harder to get off more than it was at the beginning. Keep working at it and eventually you will see improvement.

Congratulations!!! !That's awesome!!

I'd say it sounds like you're in a pretty good place right now. I'm close to the same weight (lil over), but a little taller and my doctor told me to eat between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day. I also don't log my exercise because I feel like, even when I work out, I shouldn't be eating more calories than that. Since…

One thing that is a good "tummy-tucker" is doing core exercises such as planks. Also, over time, the weight will come off all over.

Hey I'm nineteen. I've lost about 8 pounds so far, I'd love to meet some new young adults. Also, check out the topic August House Cup Competition in the Fitness and Exercise message boards. It's a competition I've started for August that should motivate people to work out! Feel free to friend me.

Here is the chat if you want to meet the people who are doing it: http://tinychat.com/mfphousecupchat#

Here is the chat: http://tinychat.com/mfphousecupchat# it probably won't be very active since there are so few of us and we'll be going on at different times

Would anyone be interested if I started a chat room for this competition, just so we could all talk and get hyped up about competition?

Hey everybody!! I'm new to the group. I'm 19, five foot seven, and currently 152.8, hoping to pull down to 140. Feel free to friend me!

I would say weight training would actually lead to you gaining weight, since muscle weighs more than fat. Cardio and eating less are the keys to losing those last couple of pounds. I'm about to be in the same boat and it's hard, it really is, but stay strong. You can do this!!! Just focus on how good you'll look when…

Hopefully more people will join!!

Am so in!!!

Don't lose heart if you have to walk. Make sure to get out there early and stretch/ warm up with a light jog. Even if you have to walk the whole thing, don't give up! You can do it. This is your first 5k so don't lose heart. And what's really important is, after the race is done, do another one! Keep signing up for them.…

It depends what time you weighed yourself. I tend to weigh myself in the morning before I've eaten anything and after I've gone to the bathroom. Also, weight fluctuates so maybe it was just that one day. How often do you weigh yourself? Another possibility is that since you've been working out so much, you've gained muscle…

Great job!!! 5ks are tough!!! Keep up the good work, running is fantastic for you. I love to run, even though sometimes I forget that.

If you need a friend to send you messages and watch you closely, as well as complain with and just generally talk to, go ahead and friend me. I'm pretty active and if you need extra help, I can be a good pusher.

I WOULD LOVE TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH YOU PROVIDED YOU DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME! friend me!

Hola! Tengo un poco español. No soy muy buena pero yo trato y quiero practicar. Debemos estar amigos.

After reading this forum, I am officially going to dedicate myself to 20 jumping jacks every time I go to to the bathroom and squats while I brush my teeth. Also, no more lazy TV watching. I will either practice my CBT or do some kind of core/ cardio work out while I watch. Thanks for the good ideas guys! And this isn't so…

Go ahead and add me!! I'm open to talking to anyone about anything

Hi! I am 18 and also losing twenty pounds. I've lost five already using the Atkins diet and now the last fifteen is being really difficult. We should be motivating friends!
