I eat at about 1000-1200 a day. I'm also under 5 feet (about the height of a 5th grader :s ) and not HUGE. It depends on SO MANY THINGS. If you have diabetes, you really should talk to your doctor and or nutritionist about this. I wouldn't drop that low and not be watched.

meat eater and chocoholic .. :D We eat: Red meat about twice a week Fish once a week Veg meal once to twice a week "White meat" about 2-3 times a week

Just because "Dr. oz" said it works, doesn't mean it does. I'm in for a "no". Keep drinking the water that you would have taken with the pill though :P

did you change any of your other parameters? maybe you dropped enough weight that it isn't helping you drop weight with only 10K ?

10,000 steps, from what I've read, is really only maintenance walking. I try for 20to 30k to have an affected on weight loss

Talk to people around you. Accountability is KEY! If you need to, go talk to your doctor. The problem is, you are going to want to start hiding the fact that you are doing this. Talk to someone NOW before you hide too much and it slips further. Every eating disorder is different and is there for different reasons.…

Oh! the smarts be strong with you! I seriously need to take a page from your book and do this!!

I used to HATE HATE HATE the responses I used to get on this site!!! Seriously! OMG I would get INFURIATED. This is what changed.. I did.. I stopped taking it personally and read what they were saying. These people know what they are talking about. They lived it! they did the hard work.. they are doing the hard work. They…

I'm happy I read threw this for giggles because I found this: DON'T RUSH GREATNESS!! Omg.. my new fav. phrase for today!!

one word for that week. Chocolate.. argh lol Though that I'm pretty good at resisting, but wow those cravings!

yes! I used to do this also. I would force threw it and half kill myself! now I let myself BE SICK! That's me now. rest, eat. get better. Hope you feel better soon also!

It's like pasta. You measure dry ingredients before they are cooked.

It's why so many don't do it. It's hard. You can either decide you WILL do this and really get it together. Or not and never really get there. Only YOU can decide. Come here and post if you feel you are struggling. Always people who will sit here and say " Keep at it.. you can do it!! ".. but that's all we can do.. YOU…

2 days? 2 DAYS sit down. Breath.. Get back up and keep at it !!!! You WILL NOT see results in 2 days. This takes time.. Loads of it. If you had seen a drop in 2 days it was NOT that you lost 2 lbs worth of weight. GET UP and move.. get back to it! You CAN do this! Set realistic goals for yourself. 5 lbs the first month.…

I think milk is weird personally. I use it recipes that call for it :/ I still think it's weird. I would think drinking human breast milk is weird also. But drinking another animals "breast milk" seems even crazier to me lol\

Just calculated one of my days. I'm about 200 cals over. which in my head is 700 cals over because I didn't move. over 2 days. that's 1400 Cals . Not bad. I thought I was overeating by a good 1000 cals a day. Way WAY more carbs though. wow!

good job! You're my new hero today for not going to the gym.. You and other posters have made me wonder if I am consuming more calories while I'm sick or it just appears to be. I never log them, so how do I know. I FEEL I'm eating way more especially since I'm not working out or being active. I'm going to go take the time…

I go into idc mode.. ( love this term now ) Usually if I'm not counting it, I'm not even on my phone to be able to do it. I would have to add it all in after the fact. At that point, I'm feeling better and looking at that day. Those sick days are a blip. If I don't put in my stats for that day, I never will. Never been the…

Oh the IDC mode!! That's exactly me. I eat way more when sick. Interesting that many others don't eat much. I get a nagging feeling that if I don't eat enough when I'm sick, it will take me twice as long to get healthy again. Maybe my mom said something to me that has stuck in my subconscious. lol

Choose a time and stick to that. I find first thing in the morning is best for me. I try to only step on that scale once a week. I'm trying to get on it less than that now... You don't have to worry about "is that really accurate because I just ate an hour ago" feelings. :p

It's also the only time I allow myself to drink Orange juice. I avoid drinking my calories ( other than my one coffee in the morning). I've seen people look deathly sick at the gym and I think it's wrong. STAY HOME!! You're going to get US sick.

Same. I don't get sick very often. I also don't do rest days or cheat days when I'm feeling well. Might be why I give myself passes when I'm sick. ( I'm not talking just a cold, I'm talking, I can't get off the couch I feel like death has wrapped itself around me, sick lol ) I was sick last 2 days at home. Pass for both! (…

Oh no.. I'm not overly worried about it. Not even kinda.. I just find it funny how I click into "I'm sick ... I don't have to care" mode when I'm sick. Ginger Ale and peanut butter sandwiches are my big weaknesses when I'm sick. lol

Leave him a sticky with this website addy on it. lol It's hard enough to be on your own healthy eating plan without having others roll their eyes at you.

How much are you looking to drop? How accurately are you measuring and weighing your food How much extra activity have you added to your daily lifestyle. Not enough info.

Mine is very accurate. If you eat back all my calories I wont drop the weight.. you will only maintain. :/ But if I listen to how much my deficit is for that day, I drop pretty much exactly what I would expect from it.

Hey! 37 year old wife with 2 kids.. 30 some odd lbs to drop. fitbit user also. I love Wine(red) and chocolate and cheese and all those other foods I shouldn't be eating too much lol It's tough. I tried running.. I'm not a running.. awesome that you are doing a half marathon! go go go!!

I can't drink coke anymore. I was drinking 1-2 cans a day. I can't even take a sip. If I do drink a pop now and then, (always logged though) it's Canada dry or a clear pop. it's so syrup tasting now I have no idea how I ever drank it!

I have one but I actually didn't think of weighing it to be honest I just checked how many calories they were . I must do that from now. [/quote] One day wont be the end all if you go over because you are not sure. Just get into the habit of weighing EVERYTHING! I leave my food scale out. No reason to ever put it away lol
