That doesn't seem like nearly enough food for that amount of cardio. And I think your body is letting you know.

I do try and eat back my exercise calories as well. I didn't mention that before. I'm determined to work it out. Thanks guys

If you calculate it, your going on a few hundred calories a day. Not enough. You may not be hungry because your body is hanging on to those calories for dear life. Try eating more, and go slow if you have to. I can promise you'll start to feel hungrier again as your metabolism gets going. Best of luck.

Multiplying by 9 or 10 is a pretty low number.

I do when I can. I used to work out like 1-2 hours daily but I've gotten too busy. And now that I'm home on break, I don't have access to a gym now that I have more time. So I've been rotating jillian michaels DVDs every day or every other day. I do make an active effort to stay in shape and this comment is unnecessary.

I've startedpaying closer attention to my intake while bumping my calories up to 1300-1400 a day. It's hard to tell in a short time, but I do seem to be losing. This means my maintenance level is probably much higher and my snacking added more false than I thought. I'm gonna continue increasing until I find maintenance.…

Thanks. This gives me the motivation to ignore initial weight gain when I up my calories a bit. Hope it works for me.

Sounds like we're in similar situations. You'd think that the hard part of losing weight was behind us. Guess not!

If I could ask, what was your intake while losing?

Yeah. That'll be my plan. Paying close attention to what I actually eat while upping my intake and sticking to it to see if it evens out.

Possibly. I may be eating more than I think.

I didn't mean anyone was being rude by that last comment. Sorry! I just meant while trying to answer these questions, I've realized I do not eat the same way consistently from week to week or exercise the same amount week to week enough to give straightforward help. It

I guess I may be too inconsistent to really give a great answer. I'll have to work to find an acceptable maintenance level. Hoving above and below my ideal weight gets old. Thanks for the help.

My schedules always different and I work out different amounts each week. So I can't really tell ya. I did notice that when I was the busiest with school, I completely disregarded logging calories and still lost weight (that I worked to gain back cause I didn't like it). But recently it doesn't feel that way. It could…

What is an appropriate level for me is my question. Because mfp has apparently steered me in the wrong direction.

Which in the grand scheme of things isn't much, but maybe it's more than I thought? Idk. I don't want to lose weight. I just want to know I can maintain at a reasonable amount. 115 at my height is nowhere near depleted and cut. That's a mid range bmi that I am happy with and want to maintain.

I'm not fixated on the scale. I don't even weigh myself daily. I just asked if I'd also feel heavier. People can't handle these questions without being rude. Plus little snacks here and there meant I would take bites of food if offered. Take a piece of candy if out in a bowl. Handful of cereal if I felt hungry. So…

I wonder if I'm reading her post correctly. Do the stores of glycogen and water make you appear larger as well as weigh more? As someone who's less concerned with the number and more with being comfortable with how I look, am I going to want to take her advice and lose 5 more pounds before I start to maintain? That doesn't…

Alright. I'm on break from college atm so im pretty damn sedentary.. When I get back to my normal routine, I'll try and up my intake and see if it evens out after some time.

And I by no means struggle to only eat 1200. Like I'm not feeling overly hungry, but I do love me some food.. lol

I try to exercise a few times a week. Its been everyday since I'm on winter break and just sit around. Looking at me I have a fair amount of muscle, biceps and abs. I thought I was doing everything right til I read what other people maintain on!

I didn't starve myself. Thats the number mfp gave me to lose weight. This website is supposed to encourage healthy eating habits.. and I should be able to trust that. You obviously do considering you use it.

Doesn't 1350 sound awful low though? I'm only 21 years old. How in the hell will I eat when my metabolism slows with age?

I was still eating 1200 when I started losing weight. I never went below that.

monistat makes an anti chaffing gel. (which is also an excellent foundation primer)

Can you be admitted for inpatient treatment? That way you can live with those who understand and rebuild your lifestyle.

A burrito I got a couple times a week at a place on campus. Over 900 cals. -____-

I have adog not a cat, but I'm definitely a crazy dog owner and weird in general! Lol.

I feel like it has been made pretty clear in society that the food is awful for you. The nutrition facts can also easily be found, whether Looking them up or asking in the restaurant. It is the choice of the people now that the education about fast food has risen. Besides, how can you ever feel like things like bacon…

I got dressed up and went to the club with some girlfriends. Felt like I looked fantastic! What better a motivator than a recent picture that I felt great about? I wanted it to be full length, but I couldn't figure out the cropping.
