  • I have been educating myself on the food industry for a while and have been watching documentaries and reading. I have definitely cut back my meat and dairy consumption and am looking at growing more, buying eggs from local farmers who still actually let their chicks run around, and eating only the meat that we harvest…

  • Wow! Good for you. I think because you have quite a bit to lose, you are ok, and as you get smaller, those losses will slow down. It would help if you opened your diary so we could see what your net calories, etc are... You definitely don't want to under-eat to a point that your body is starved for nutrition.

  • Quit worrying about the number on the scale and go with how you FEEL. If you feel, comfortable, confident, and happy and this is an easy to maintain weight for you for life, stick at 130 and start toning up.

  • I agree with it being too little to lose. You also mentioned that you aren't eating any fat. Your body needs some to function properly. Eat healthy fats like whole eggs, avocado, olive oil on your salads, olives. This will help with your low calories and with your body function overall.

  • Ok, so I have really upped my exercise (added 4 45 minute spin classes a week) since September and have not lost any weight. I started logging my food again and discovered I was under-eating by a lot. When I started reading the boards more, I found the TDEE info and entered my info in multiple calculators, landing on this…

  • After looking at a week in your diary, I would suggest a couple things... add in some more exercise add more protein eat less carbs, not low carb, just less. sometimes your body needs a change.

  • There are easy ways to add more calories to your day without upping the volume of food... I am going through this right now, trying to up my calories to eat my exercise calories... fry my morning egg in a tsp of oil, and use the whole egg, not just the egg white. buy 9% Greek yogurt instead of 0% use full fat salad…
