You should recognize that 1500-1800 is actually considered dieting for someone your size. So you may gain a bit at first as you start to eat again, but if you keep that up for a while hopefully the weight will start to come off again. If I ate 1500 a day maybe I'd manage to reach my goal, but I dont have your discipline and frankly, I get hungry a lot. Keep in mind that I'm only 5'2" and when I started I weighed a lot less than you and I managed to lose .8 lbs per week on 1850 calories per day.
Did you ever figure out how many cals you were eating before your diet? That's the number I'd be looking at as that number kept you gaining or maintaining a high weight. So you need to cut from there, not cut out all calories.
Thanks again for not taking our comments to heart . |
Good point well made...its refreshing to see someone accept critical advice in a good natured way and accept it for what it is well meant!! Good Luck OP with your
