This is only with 20 Pounds loss and people have been asking me if I got a nose job lol. I am excited what my face will look like after I reach my goal! Yay!

Ill be truthful, I stopped logging because I was eating way under my Cal goal for a while and I figured since I was not eating over my calorie goal of 1900 I dont have to log it... Some days ill eat 1300 Calories a day and some days Ill eat 1000 calories.

Thanks for your guys response, I feel like it is not normal and I am kind of scared.

Bump!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE TIPS! - I tried Melatonin, It did not work for me, I was up after 2 hours of sleep and could not fall back to sleep. It has gotten better, I Sleep 4 hours now vs. 2 hours from before. I think I need to bring my calorie intake back up, maybe my body is saying its hungry but I dont feel it. I am…

I know! I am having trouble meeting my minimum intake! :(

Yes but I have increased my calorie intake and try eating at least 3/4 or all the way to my minimum calorie needed.

Here are some changes that I have done, Used to eat 1-2 meals per day... Now I eat 5 meals per day. Used to drink 20 ounces of soda a day, now drink 2 liters of water a day. Used to binge on carbs and not have a balance diet, Now a lot more protein and less carbs.

I have not tried Melatonin, I am really desperate to try anything at this point! THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT IS RESPONDING! IT IS REALLY REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW FOR ME!!! I FEEL LIKE BREAKING DOWN AND CRYING IT SO SEVERE! :(

Hi! I tried days where I dont work out, Where I work out in the morning and then when I work out at night, No change what so ever.

Ahhhhh! What do you recommend?! Should I have a cheat day and eat my BMR... I dont think I even know to eat normal now!

Thanks Love, I hope you are right!

Hey amber! Unfortunately no caffeine for me! :) I had the will power to quit all soda and energy drinks which is great because they were all soda and caffeine, but you think that would make sleeping easier for me right.... ha WRONG :(

I know, It is really difficult, I really enjoy sleeping and its taking a toll on me, I also tried taking ZZZQUIL and still did not help. I took it for 2 nights and don't want to take it again because I dont know what long time side effects it has. I mean I used to work out at night all the time and would even sleep better…

Kristen! Number 4! Hell yeah girl get ittttt! Nothing sexier then a girl who can run a marathon!

absolutely, better then nothing at all.

GIRL! You look UHHHHHHHHHHH MAZING! From your before and after you look absolutely stunning. Are your shoes untied?! Because you are tripping! It will take time to fall onto the right track but you will get it!

Hey Jack! Yeah that is the problem, I need to hit 2000 cals and I have not hit that for 2 weeks and 3 days. Can I just go out and have a burger or something to get it up there and try again? Or Should I go buy a steak tonight and eat it?

Thanks for resonding Now_or_Never1! Yeah, I saw that peanut butter has a lot of calories, 190 in 2 tablespoons... the only thing im not digging is the fact that it has surgar listed as the third ingredient. Is there a place where you can buy healthier peanut butter and I can add my own sugar from apples or something?

Thank you! I will try it out!

I have always been pretty sceptical about that and hypnosis ! Do let us know how it goes!

I cant thank you guys for all the support and information! I will do that, I think avocados nuts and stuff will be great for me... Its hard to want to loose weight and learning about a whole new different world of what "I thought" dieting was and how people that are successful are doing it!

Thanks for the advice Sarauk2sf

I been depriving myself, for the past 2 weeks and got really used to it.

Hey countryboy, I dont know what happened, When I started a diet I ate strickly chicken breast yogart, carrots, zuchini, and downsized my servings dramaticly... I got so used to it after two weeks and felt great until the last 3 days... I have been feeling so tired, dizzy and not so great. You are right! Before I could sit…

ALSO if I did up my calories back up should I work them off? For example consume 2000 calories work off 500 calories or do I need to consume 2500 calories?

I just want to thank you guys so much for all of your responses! I've never thought you can eat so much and still be under calories, vs. before I would go get a foot long sandwich and a large drink and it would be 1300 calories already! I guess I have to learn to eat more and stay around 2000 calories and cut out carbs and…

Thank you guys for all the responses! I am over weight and I want to loose weight, MFP said I burn 2600 cals a day but should strive for 2000 cals a day. I went too extreme and been eating way less and got used to it I can't eat 1/3 of what I did before I went on a diet. I never counted calories before... And would say I…
