Ooh~ i'd love one as well. I might actually start doing something like this as well- haven't picked up my pen or pad in ages! You've got talent~ keep it up!

Than you very much Confuzzled4ev. You seem to be the only one who actually "gets it". I did not make this topic to be, well, *****ed at. I made this topic because I didn't have a clue. Why in the hell would I put my neck on the line...risk the trolls...risk the *kitten*...if I hadn't already done "common sense" or…

Thank you VERY much. :) I appreciate your help, honest! :D

Thank you very much. I appreciate your input. :D Lean proteins and veggies, lots of em...got it! haha. :) Yeah, I've decided to pretty much cut out "sweets" all together...the only sweets i'm getting are fruits... and maybe a bite of 83 percent dark chocolate. >.< BLEGH! haha

And here I thought I was doing good. :/ Hopefully my partner will know more about this, which i'm sure he will. Because I've been reading things but it just doesn't click that well with me I guess. It's like...I need my hand held.

Why and How?: I didn't CHOOSE 1200 calories- it just says that 1200 calories is the minimal I should eat. You know, the whole: "*Based on your total calories consumed for today, you are eating too few calories. Not only is it difficult to receive adequate nutrition at these calorie levels, but you could also be putting…

Thanks hun, I really appreciate that! :flowerforyou:

Thanks

I do believe I've learned my lesson from reaching out to the community. LOL

Did you read previous posts?

I have common sense... -_- I just thought it would be a good idea to reach out to the "community" and see what others have to say. Others that are more experienced than me. Eating when you are hungry. And not eating when you are not, is a given. If you read what was asked- you would have noticed that I was asking a…

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your words. :)

Thank you. :) That's a nice bit of inspiration there... thanks! :D

Thank you very much. :)

Thank you. :) And congrats on the new baby! :D

Thank you for your support and input. I just wanted to make sure that It wouldn't be bad to just eat when i'm hungry...I didn't want to "starve" my body of what it needs...because I've heard that doing so can actually make you gain weight. So. Didn't want any of that. :)

AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO EMPHASIZE FOR THE NEW-COMERS THAT THE IHOP MEAL DAY WAS THE LAST HURRAH- THE ENDING OF THE OLD ME AND THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW ME. Yes, it was not the best way to start things out, but I do not regret it...nor am I ashamed of it... The day after, is when the NEW ME is beginning... SO KINDLY take that in…

Yeah...kindly just take your "Yolo swag" self elsewhere...

Seriously, if you're going to be a pompous *kitten* you shouldn't be in a community based on support. :)

Honestly, i'd say not to worry about what's being said... It seems like...quite a few people kind of get on a high horse...and get snippy. They must be REALLY serious about their dieting views... But, they are "trying to help" all wrong. The point was, I understood what you were saying...and thank you. :)

Okay guys, this is supposed to be a place for advice and support... Not putting anyone down or getting snippy attitudes... :/ Some people are really just learning about these things. Like me, I am literally just learning EVERYTHING.

No, i'm not starving. Like I said previously, I felt completely satisfied with very little hunger, on 626 cals. I am only referring to it as "STARVING" because I was wondering if i'm starving my body of what it needs.

I did notice, however, that when I had only had 626 calories, I wasn't hungry once during the day...I did a little bit, but that was because I skipped out on my 24 Almonds snack before dinner... xD That's another reason why I was worried, because I was so comfortable eating so calories!

I absolutely agree...I shouldn't have let my partner convince me to do the stupid "Last Awesome Ihop Breakfast" as it was called. While eating, each bite was filled with regret! That's why I said the official day was yesterday- because i'm not giving in like that again. The keyword to the above statement is "LAST". I MIGHT…

Oh yes, i'm not worried about one day by any means! It's just that some days I don't feel particularly hungry... Or I go into a mental "Starvation" mode. I start to freak out about the numbers and thus will eat too little. Hard to believe with me being over 300 pounds huh!? I've finally gotten a reality check and am…

Oooh, this looks delicious! And I bet it tastes even better! Ha. :) Thank you very much for sharing- i'll be trying this one!

I'm not REALLY sure how much of an impact it is. But you have to keep this in mind. It's only 15. At least it's not 20. ;) I'm still trying to learn to ropes so that I have no red marks what-so-ever. But, boy, this is going to be a LOOOOOONG road for Miss Raven here. xD Just try and stick as close to your goal as possible.…

Aww, thank you. I liked yours too!! ;P

A 10 because I quite like black and white pictures... :P And I will not change my number even though you changed your picture...haha.

Well, i'm going about this all cold turkey so...I more than feel your pain...haha. As much as it pains to say this, drinking lots of water should help a good bit. (I used to hardly ever drink water...well, that's changing... >.<) After all, some times you think you're hungry...but really it's your body telling you that…
