Hi! I think your group will work for me if you'll have me! I have read your info and it seems sensible.
I need a bit of help to get out of a situation I put myself in to.
History- I lost 45 lbs by eating healthy and going on the elliptical for 20 mins a day. I did this from April 22 to about Halloween. I went up 7 lbs over the holidays and then took it off pretty quickly after xmas.
On New Years Eve my oldest (I have 3) daughter was engaged and I vowed not to wear a fat mother of the bride dress. So, I ordered Medifast and stayed on it for a month. I averaged 900 calories a day and did not exercise much. I lost 12 lbs.
Yesterday, at work I had had it with the diet. I just don't feel well. I don't crave anything but I worry that I am screwing my metabolism up big time.
I added an apple and a banana last night, the first fruit I have had in a month.
So, my question is should I just go right into 1,600 calories per day or will I be in trouble if I jump to that right away? I plan on zig zagging my calories once I am on my way.
I have a cold and am not hungry at all.
Thank you for your help!
