Im around the same measurements, and I was stuck for a few months BECAUSE I was eating 1000 calories. I think we are going to have to up the calories especially if we are exercising. Our bodies may be hoarding the fat because it think its starving. Since we dont have much to lose, because my BMI is normal and Im assuming…

I agree, my scale literally had dust on it until my mom said something! ugh! evil woman, jk =) I think my biggest downfall was NOT eating back my exercise calories.

And can someone please clear up the NET calories for me? Does that…

I would eat a sleeve of saltine crackers and a bowl of oatmeal a day. It was the dumbest thing I've ever done. I've never done anything like that before and I will never do it again because in those 3 months of idiocracy, I could have lost atleast 10 pounds the healthy way and kept it all off.
