  • Heya.... How is it going? I just wanna say that if you slip, get back on again, and try not to beat yourself up too much.

  • Hi Robin, You're doing great! I believe that bingeing is usually just the tip of the Iceberg and we need to go to the root of the problem.

  • Hello Jessebenne, I have been on a targeted 1200 calories per day for about 11 weeks now, the beginning is very difficult but it's getting better now.

  • Please count me in! It doesn't make mathematical sense but it is happening - 4 days of cutting down to 1200 calories/day and burning 400-450 calories doing cardio at the gym yet, I am not any lighter, in fact I put on 0.5lb!!
