if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all. we learn that when we are two, well at least most people do.

This is AWESOME!! Thank you..

This is a revelation that of course makes perfect sense!! I have been eating back my exercise calories- no wonder I am not losing. I am going to stop logging exercise at all and just eat at TDEE-20%. Thank you!

No! Why would you do that?

OMG! You sound exactly like me! We are the same height and share the same confusion about how many calories we should be eating, and we are both not losing despite seemingly trying to do everything right! I would love to be friends so that if one of us figures it out we can share.. I upped to 1400 last week even though Dan…

Hi, I'm on level 2 day 9, but have been there for 4 days!! I've had some stuff going on, but I'm back today. I want to get most of level 3 finished before I go back to work after Easter. That means no days off!

can there be a code to warn us?? :-)

I agree with both. a) creepster b) you look fabulous! Well done. and stay away from that creepy guy.

Because carbohydrates are a complex sugar. When the body is looking for energy to function it will first use simple sugars, and then complex sugars (carbs), after that it will start to burn fat for energy (as it has no carbs). If you eat less than 20g carbs per day, the body is forced to use fat for energy to function.…

WOW! I am on Day 8, Level 1 and already have lost 4cm from waist. I am excited to keep going seeing your results. Thanks for posting the pics!

Im 5ft nothing! Trying to get to 110. Currently 124, so not sure that is possible. At this point Ill take 115. Its so much harder when you are short!

Im 5ft too. ATM I am following "The petite advantage diet" in regard to my calories. I am eating 1100, 1100 and then 1600 on repeat. 40% carbs, 35% protein and 25% fat. I am losing, but I have recently read some very interesting information that suggests my daily calories are too low which is why I am not losing faster.…

Thank you for your advice. It really does seem to low to me too. I might just stick to the 1100 recommended by The petite advantage diet and see how that goes for a few weeks before making any changes. I have just had some very interesting advice via PM that has suggested I increase to 2100/day for 1 month, and then drop…

I agree with you wholeheartedly! I have followed so many 12-1500 calorie diets it is not funny. I get scared to "under eat" or put my body into "starvation mode" as that will make me fatter. But I am getting fatter on these diets. I am 5ft or 153cm and i am now trying Jim's 1100 calories on a 3 day cycle as he suggests.…

I am reading it and trying to combine it with mfp. I am still doing cardio- but moderate not intense. I walk very fast, but don't run (endomondo says very, very brisk pace- 7.5km/hr). Still gets the heart rate up. I have just started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and am hoping that is going to help make a difference…

I have just finished reading this book and think it makes some valid points for us shorties. I am now trying to fuse the mfp app and the book into some kind of workable program. It is slightly discouraging every 3 days to have mfp say you are 500 calories over your goal due to the calorie cycling component of the petite…

I have just started too! I had to take the second day off and go for a walk instead as I could hardly move my legs! It looks like it will be a long 30 days for me. Back into it today....

I am happy to have new friends too.

I need some motivating friends too!
