Week 2 264.0  -1.5

[JLS]

I put in anther 45 minutes today on the tred mill at 4-7.2mph. Burned 542 calories. I only took in 745 calories today. With that said I'm feeling heavy from the corned beef and cabage last night  When I started on Feb. 13th I was 260, when I signed up on here I was down to 239. But then I went back up to 245. I think some of the first weight loss was water. I'm hoping to be back down to my sign up weight of 239 Monday.

745 calories is not enough.  I have a physiology degree and my wife is a personal trainer, so take it for what it's worth and what you paid for it.  You cannot be healthy  eating that few calories a day.  You are also hindering your weight loss in the process.

You have to have a 3500 calorie deficit to lose a pound of fat.  Have you had a body composition reading?  Any idea of what your basal metabolic requirement (calories a day to sustain) is?

Try to establish a healthy routine that you can sustain over the long haul.  Then, you won't be repeating this again next year.

Good luck.

I have to agree now that I came back and read the recent posts.  I make every attempt to stay below at least 2000 calories a day.  I don't want my body eating away at the muscle tissue instead of the fat tissue.  When your body goes into hunger/starvation mode (whether you feel hungry or not that's what your body is doing right now and after your workouts) it starts to chip away at your muscle tissue for nourishment rather than your fat tissue.  Keep a good HEALTHY calorie intake and keep working out hard and it will all work out fine. 

I'm at 10 weeks on the healthy calorie intake and work out regimen and I've dropped 41 lbs and it's all fat tissue loss, so don't take this as being preachy or anything, i'm not a compelete expert or have a degree in this stuff but I know a thing or two and whatever works for you then that's great, just some advice.

I figured we are far enough into this contest a little humor would be good.  I know my bad for me food craving level is way up.  I have resisted walking into the light so far.  So with all that said, here's a cookie for you all...
