For what it’s worth, I am 24 – 25 in January – and on the short side at only 5’7" and am also aware of the danger of very low calorie dieting since, to be honest, it is something I’ve had a little bit of experience with in my more overzealous moments but it’s not an issue currently and I am actually feeling better than I have in a while mentally and physically. The repeated mention of lean mass in the past few posts even had me tensing my arms out of curiosity and was surprised to discover they actually have some definition to them so I don’t think I need to worry about losing too much lean mass at the moment. Thanks for your concern though, robardin.
I am jonesing bad for chocolate today. I’ve done all the things I can think - I’ve had a few healthy choices and yet I still feel both hungry and am craving chocolate.
Okay, being stuck at 180 is pissing me off. I am now adding a walk in addition to my runs (mileage now being 8 or so a day) And I’m adding an upper body workout, while trying to keep caloric intake at 1500. That better do something for me! I’m so sick of this gut. My diet consists of lots of aspartame (diet yogurt, low calorie fruit juices)
It might have been even less as my weight has actually been fluctuating between 188 and 189 the past few times I weighed but I kinda raided the freezer and had a large bowl of cookies and cream and a couple toaster pastries as a late night snack sometime around three this morning.
