Title: How Low Do I Go??!! Today is Day 21 of my 1,000 calories per day or less diet. My cals/day average is 961. (Yes, I'm taking a vitamin..can't possibly get nutrition like this.) Over the last three weeks I have eaten ONLY things which have a calorie count on the box, AND come in pre-determined portion sizes. (Such as single serving oatmeal, diet TV dinner things.) The only foods which fall outside of this 'rule' are 1/2 tsp sugar (8), and 1 oz of skim milk (12), which I put in my coffee. I HAVE NOT LOST ONE SINGLE POUND. I am 38. I walk two miles a day. I am 5' 4". I weigh 153 lbs. NOW what am I supposed to do? Name: Deb Date: Dec. 16th, 1999 Title: Re: How Low Do I Go??!! You say you are walking 2 miles a day, but are you actually pushing yourself to get out of breath? I used to walk a lot and I didn't lose any weight after more than a year of doing so (but my legs looked very toned). I lost a lot of weight when I started running - not very far, usually 1 mile or occasionally 2. This meant that I was only doing about 8 minutes aerobic exercise 3 or 4 times a week - not enough according to most expert's guidelines, but it really did work. Also, I know this will probably scare you, but you might lose weight if you eat a bit more. Your body must think it is starving and your metabolism is going haywire. Good luck.

I would eat little, and gain weight... eat slightly less than normal and the pounds would fly off... 2-3 per day ... of course.. I do weigh almost 250 .... and can bench press 275 .. My weight will fluctuate 5 lbs per week, without changing a thing.. sometimes I don't understand it...
