You shouldn't net lower than BMR, which is what you do if you eat at that level and do anything besides be in a coma.

Lol, yes. If I work out (and I need to more often) I'm eating those calories. I'm committed to this, but I like my food and I'm not giving everything up

I just found this group too, because I'm friends with risingaboveit. I could always use more support, but more than that, accountability. I want someone who will not just say "good job" but to give me advice and gentle criticism as well.

I ignored the Thin Mints on the counter and had carrots dipped in low cal yogurt ranch instead

See, I don't mind the negative stuff. If you're having a bad day, go ahead and vent. If life sucks, talk about it. I'm here for both the good and bad times, that's what a friend is

I'm trying out 1290 a day, but I'm never under 1200. I eat bacon and cheese, and I see fat as a nutrient to be eaten in reasonable quantities and not something to fear. I go over if I need to, this girl's eating if she's hungry. I do not compliment diaries of 800 calories of junk food, ever. And when I exercise, I eat…

The Jersey Shore. But not *that* Jersey Shore

That reminds me, I should take mine with my coffee

No nap, but I have the calories for some coffee

Then I'm looking for friends...

Right now? I might get a nap

I'm totally a hoarder. Not worthy of the show or anything, but I'm a pack rat

So you lost 9 pounds in less than 2 months? How long have you been stuck?

On my first date with the bf, who I met online, I wore jeans and a cute shirt, but no make up, and my hair was certainly clean and brushed but that's it. No jewelry either. He liked me anyway, I suppose, since nearly 2 years later he's still around

Your diary is closed, so how much do you eat? Exercise? Current weight and height? How long have you been stuck?

Carbs don't fill me up. I do love them, but I can binge on them easy. I don't binge on salad with lean protein.

I want to look out together to other people, yes. I do care what people think, hence not leaving the house in pjs and my dad's old sweatshirt. But, as validating as th attention can be, I try not to be hot to other men. I have done that too much in the past and had to make a change

I like to look good for the man, but when I am drooling over cute dresses in my goal size, yeah, not thinking about him. Even when I buy lingerie it's a good 75% about what I want

No. Yuck

Make sure you get your protein and fat. Yes, eat fat. It's a nutrient too. I'm not suggesting you fry bacon in butter and drink some olive oil, but there is a such thing as a healthy fat intake. Protein is crucial when you're working out that much. I am lightly active and I eat at least 1 gram for every 2 pounds of ideal…

Sexy abs

Very much so

Um, I think differently!

All except nmt

Date so we can have many nights

Solid 6 out of 10, reporting for duty!

If you're set at a reasonable deficit and you go over by just a little, nbd in my book. If you're consistently over by a lot, not so good. Personally though, I will eat when I am hungry. Doesn't matter if I pigged out earlier and I'm over my calories, my body deserves healthy food when it's hungry, and it will get that.…

I gained 40 in the first 18 months of my relationship. It was a combination of continuing my sedentary lifestyle and eating out and eating garbage with him. Feel free to add me, I'm down 11 pounds and in this for the long haul

Yes, it certainly is. I used to feel suicidal every month, even tried drowning myself in a bathtub once. Then the next day AF came, and I was okay again.
