Okay, here is my 'dilemma':
I am 24 and 5'7". I started dieting in late December, right before Christmas. I ate like a pig, no holds barred, and lost three pounds. Thought that was weird. I dropped from 156 to 153. I gave up drinking 5-7 cans of Mountain Dew shortly after Christmas, and dropped to 148 soon after. I stalled there for the longest time on a caloric intake of 1200-1500 calories, depending. I have been to many calorie sites and they say I should consume no more than 1800 calories just to maintain my current weight. I lost about a pound more on that and dropped down to 147. Then... I stalled.
Weight fell off sooo slowly. As of recently, I have started eating like crazy again. I am now consuming 2400-3000 calories a day, and my weight has been dropping off like a log every day for the last two weeks. I am eating cakes, brownies, candy, everything but soda. What is going on here? It's working so well, but shouldn't this not be possible? I am sedentary with a desk job too!
