Hi Ann; it's too bad that Wishes and KaraCooks weren't the first people to respond to your first post. The tone of this thread would surely have gone differently. But I think you may have got your back up with the tone of Cerad's post because it was rather baiting. No one should want to eat popcorn and enjoy watching you get tuned in. And if they do, well, that's not nice at all.
It's not easy to get feedback on your first day of posting in your diary. And this is your diary and you are free to post whatever you want in it. If that means trial and error until you find the path that is right for you, you have that right. All of us in here, including the moderators and Cerad, have struggled with setting goals too unrealistic, falling flat on our asses and having to learn the hard way that a sensible eating plan with exercise for reasonable weight loss over the long-term is the only way to go. For me, it's taken YEARS to learn that. I'm 48 and while I'm in my "normal" weight range according to BMI calculation, I am at the high end of normal and want to be fitter.
All that to say, is Ann, I hope you stick around and fine tune your plan in the time that it takes you to do so. You will find the more honest you get with yourself ... the more incredibly supportive people will appear in your diary. It takes courage to face the journey ahead with humility and honesty. You can do it ... and we are with you, not against you.

Really? On what criteria? Do you want the job? You think you can do it better?

After entering the information:
This amount is the minimum recommended daily protein intake.
What you're eating doesn't even meet that minimum, based on your stats.
"Your goal weight: 105lbs or 47.75kg
Your protein goal: 48*.8 = 38.4"
I didn't say, I was working out, I am bed ridden so to speak. I don't necessarily agree with you either. Do you have some kind of advanced degree in medicine?
The women who wrote the book do, The Protein Counter 2nd edition By Annette B. Natow, Ph.D., R.D. and Jo-Ann Heslin, M.A., R.D.
Until you get a medical degree, I would prefer to leave my health to the medical experts. I have my own my doctor, Thank You Very Much.

So an advanced medical degree is required to have a brain and do research and understand what you read?
Good luck with that, sweetie.
I'm outta this journal. My only advice is that if you're going to report a thread, make sure you don't refer to people who are offiering advice as "bimbos" ... it'll keep the "riff raff" out of your journal.

You have stated:

The Protein Package
Animal protein and vegetable protein probably have the same effects on health. It's the protein package that's likely to make a difference.
What Is Protein?
Protein is found throughout the body—in muscle, bone, skin, hair, and virtually every other body part or tissue. It makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions and the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. At least 10,000 different proteins make you what you are and keep you that way.
Twenty or so basic building blocks, called amino acids, provide the raw material for all proteins. Following genetic instructions, the body strings together amino acids. Some genes call for short chains of amino acids, others are blueprints for long chains that fold, origami-like, into intricate, three-dimensional structures.
Because the body doesn't store amino acids, as it does fats or carbohydrates, it needs a daily supply of amino acids to make new protein.
A 6-ounce broiled porterhouse steak is a great source of complete protein—38 grams worth. But it also delivers 44 grams of fat, 16 of them saturated. (2) That's almost three-fourths of the recommended daily intake for saturated fat. The same amount of salmon gives you 34 grams of protein and 18 grams of fat, 4 of them saturated. (2) A cup of cooked lentils has 18 grams of protein, but under 1 gram of fat. (2)
The bottom line is that it's important to pay attention to what comes along with the protein in your food choices. Vegetable sources of protein, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, are excellent choices, and they offer healthy fiber, vitamins, and minerals; nuts are also a great source of healthy fat. The best animal protein choices are fish and poultry. If you are partial to red meat, such as beef, pork, or lamb, stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet: A major report on cancer prevention recommends consuming less than 18 ounces a week of red meat and avoiding processed meats (such as hot dogs, bacon, or ham) to lower the risk of colon cancer.

Ann....all I have to add to this conversation is this. If you want to participate in this forum, you will have to understand that not everyone is going to agree with you all the time. You can't get this upset and defensive when people don't see eye to eye. Its goign to happen from time to time. I'm sorry that on your first day you've already experianced this...but in a way you brought it on yourself by reporting some silly comment that should have just been blown off. You have to learn to let things go.
I know you don't understand this...but Kara and Wishes really were just trying to help you. 700/800 cals really is too low. If you want to continue this path...thats your business. It is America and you have that right!
Maybe sometime down the road you will see that us mods work hard to make the forum run smoothly. We are not here to attack, but to educate.
Good luck on your journey. I hope you find something that works for you.
oh, btw...seeing your post on protein. Theres a great sticky on this topic of protein and other really informative topics...if you need help finding your way to these stickies, just let me know!

Yes, it is mine and my doctors business, isn't it? You people think, you have medical degrees. Well, it quite obvious you don't. None of you bothered to read what I wrote. I'm not asking for your advice nor would I put your advice, over my own physicians advice. Please note, that I do not require your unfounded advice. I am going to keep on doing, what I am advised to do by my doctor. Thank You, Good-bye.
wow...still defensive huh?? well ok, nice knowing ya
You don't know me. How can you make accusations and give advice when you don't know me, and you are unwilling to listen to what I have to say. Or what I have said. Do you expect me to disown my own doctor and listen to you guys?
AGAIN,

People should have a medical degree before practicing medicine.
Kern County Woman to Plead Guilty to Illegally Practicing Medicine
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SACRAMENTO – A Kern County woman, whose acupuncture license was revoked two years ago in a Medi-Cal fraud case, has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge of practicing medicine without a license following a probe by the Department of Consumer Affairs' Division of Investigation (DOI) and the Acupuncture Board.
Under the plea bargain, Svetlana "Lana" G. Kosich-Enko, will be sentenced September 5 in Kern County Superior Court to no more than16 months in state prison and 4-5 years state parole for giving consumers hypodermic injections. She is currently being held in the Kern County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
"The investigation demonstrates once again that the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) and the Acupuncture Board will not tolerate unlicensed activity in California, and we appreciate the Kern County District Attorney's vigorous prosecution of the case," said DCA Director Carrie Lopez. "Practicing medicine without a license is not only illegal, but extremely dangerous and irresponsible to consumers."
In return for the felony plea, prosecutors agreed to drop an additional charge of practicing medicine without a license and one felony charge of filing a false document with the City of Bakersfield Police Department, as well as misdemeanor counts of practicing acupuncture without a license and displaying a revoked license.
"DOI will continue to make investigating complaints regarding the safety and welfare of the State's consumers it's highest priority, as well as pursuing prosecution of those who violate these laws," said James Ackley, Supervising Investigator for DOI's Central Valley Field Office in Fresno.
Kosich-Enko was arrested June 27 by sworn DOI investigators at her Bakersfield office at 2020 20th Street. At the time of her arrest, she was still on probation for July 2006 convictions for grand theft and filing false Medi-Cal claims in Los Angeles County, where she also had an acupuncture practice. Those convictions led the Acupuncture Board to begin license revocaton proceeding against Kosich-Enko.
The revocation became effective in September 2007, one month after Kosich-Enko sold her existing Bakersfield practice at 2020 17th Street — which she had apparently owned for several years — to another acupuncturist. She then opened the 20th Street business which began siphoning patients from the new owner of her former practice.
The acupuncturist, having become aware that Kosich-Enko was no longer licensed to practice acupuncture, filed a complaint with the Acupuncture Board.
On May 1, DOI investigators and officers of the Bakerfield Police Department conducted a probation search of Kosich-Enko's business and found evidence that the woman was indeed continuing to practice acupuncture. They also found evidence that she was giving patients injections of vitamins, which constituted practicing medicine without a license. While she was not arrested at that time, Kosich-Enko was informed by investigators that her activities violated the law and the terms of her probation. Nevertheless, Kosich-Enko disregarded the law less than a week later by giving acupuncture services to a client.
During the course of the investigation, DOI found that Kosich-Enko had held herself out to be a licensed acupuncturist to other health-care professionals and had even entered into a contract to provide acupuncture services for a local osteopathic physician.
Because DOI feared Kosich-Enko would continue her illegal activities if she was released after her arrest, investigators asked the judge in the case to set bail at $500,000. The judge agreed, but the amount was later reduced during ensuing court proceedings.
