Take it slow. Losing that much weight so fast is dangerous, and the likelihood that you'll gain it back is very high. Eat healthy and exercise and you will see results :)

I have an extremely fast metabolism and I usually eat a bunch of small meals during the day :)

I never count the sugar in fruit because I eat so much of it haha. I eat tons of fruit and it has never negatively affected me so I just go with that :)

Try green tea! It's so healthy and has caffeine in it and it always gives me more energy and keeps me awake :)

Because this website has a lot of uses other than counting calories. Don't attack me because my goals are different from yours. And by "don't worry about calories" I meant exactly that. Counting calories is helpful and definitely important in losing weight but definitely not something to get so worked up about. As long as…

Oh I don't record anywhere near all my calories don't worry haha I get lazy and don't write down most of the things I have other than some meals and some snacks :P

Oh I know! Counting calories is fine, I just meant that a lot of people on here distress themselves about it. Using a calorie limit and tracking what you're eating is definitely beneficial for weight loss, but it should only be used as a frame and nothing to get to upset about. If you are around the right amount of…

Stop worrying about calories, just eat healthy and exercise! :)

Why don't we all just eat lots and lots of nutritious, healthy food and exercise and never have to worry about gaining weight, eh? :)

The banana and oatmeal cookies are really good!

Small, whole wheat wrap with natural peanut butter and granola!

I spend every waking minute with that tea cup

Personally, I think you're doing it right! Breakfast should be your biggest meal and then each meal after that should be a little smaller. I eat huge breakfasts a lot too or else I'm hungry again in 2 hours haha

If you're hungry, you need to eat!

Thank you, I'm glad someone understood :)

Yes, this is what I have been trying to tell people. My wording was off, and I have corrected it many times now.

I know, they misunderstood what I was saying and I could have worded it better but it's too late for that now.

You are completely correct, and that is exactly what I was saying. At no point did I ever say you would get fatter.All I said was that your body holds onto the fat the it already contains and uses less important sources of fuel first. I said that by starving yourself your metabolism will be damaged and once you start…

Thank you!

Thank you!

Your body will hold onto the fat inside your body and use it as fuel for a very last resort. I'm NOT saying that you will gain fat or weight, I am saying that your muscles will be used as fuel before fat. As a result of this your metabolism will be damaged and once you start eating normally again, you will more than likely…

100% sure. Fat is extremely important in many areas of the body so you will burn away nutrients from areas that are not as essential first.

"You should never go under your BMR because it basically means your body don’t have enough calories to function normally so your metabolism slows down and you get energy from your muscle instead of fat (fat main usage is protection. when starving, it gets used after muscle). " Muscle is used before fat. Therefore, fat is…

When you do not consume the proper amount of calories for your body to accurately complete its daily functions, it begins to store fat. No, this does not mean you gain weight right away. The reason for this is because your body begins taking nutrients and stored macromolecules from your muscles and other areas of your…

First of all, Starvation mode is not a theory, it is a real process that occurs within the body. When you do not consume the proper amount of calories for your body to accurately complete its daily functions, it begins to store fat. No, this does not mean you gain weight right away. The reason for this is because your body…

It's most likely just natural weight fluctuations and since you're working out a lot, you also have to take into account that muscle is heavier than fat!

1200 calories is not enough for anybody, regardless of the amount of exercise you are doing.

In my opinion, you should be eating at least 1500 calories every day, not allowing yourself to eat it once a week. With the amount of exercise you're planning on doing you need to make sure your body receives all the nutrients necessary in a healthy and successful weight loss.
