You're doing a great job. What kinds of foods do you eat? Just curious so that maybe it can help us get more calories. Honestly, I can't imagine how you're eating 2000 calories in a day lol... that's not a cut down at all though, so don't take it the wrong way. The reason that we're having trouble eating enough is because we never eat out and are very aware of how many calories are in the foods in the house.. for instance, if you go out and have like a hamburger, that's going to have anywhere from 800-1300 calories in it, for us, red meat is a treat so we stick to white meat which is way less calories. We also try to stay away from all processed food, not because of calories, but because there's not much nutritional value in processed food and you don't 'really' know what's in it ya know. This is why we're having trouble getting enough calories. As it is, I eat 5-6 times a day now just trying to get enough calories (not sure about how many times Lynn eats).. I
NEVER thought I would say that I'm not eating enough lol.
Also, do you have a work out schedule written out?
One thing that we're using to try to get more calories is fitday.com. We track everything in there, which is helping me increase my caloric intake. I've managed to get mine up to 1200, sometimes even 1400 (but I feel like I have to pig out to get that much).
Example from what I ate yesterday-
2 eggs, 2 slices of cheese, two whole wheat muffins, banana, apple, peanut butter, chicken breast (boneless/skinless), mixed veggies w/sauce, and even had an organic cupcake to get enough calories- 1282 calories yesterday
Anyway, you're doing good in your weight loss, it shows in your numbers
