How do people eat 1600+ calories and still lose weight?
I've seen some people say they eat anywhere from 1600-2000 calories a day and still lose 1-2 pounds a week. How do they do that? If their BMR was around 1500 or something, wouldn't they have to burned 100-500 calories every single day just to not gain anything? Am I missing something here?

Binging a lot since I raised my calorie goal?
For a pretty long time I was eating between 600 & 800 calories a day. Now that I'm trying to get healthier, My calorie goal is 1300-1600.

Is this okay to start out with?
This is my first time trying to lose weight in a healthy way and I never really exercised much before. I was thinking of just doing the treadmill in two 30 minute sessions, 3 days a week to start out with (working up to 5 days a week) and doing other little stuff like push-ups, crunches and squats a few times a week. Is…

Should I go by the scale or the measuring tape?
For the past couple years I've been in a cycle of eating 400-800 calories a day for a couple weeks then binge eating for a couple weeks. I've decided to give up on that because I just can't stop the binging after eating like that and I gain everything back. The thing is, I kind of want to go by my measurements to see my…

How do I go about fixing my metabolism?
I really think I've messed up my metabolism. I've gone about losing weight in unhealthy ways and set myself for failure by eating 400-800 calories and then being so hungry after a couple weeks that I give up and binge eat for a week or two and then go back and it's just this awful cycle. It's been going on for a couple…
