No you are not fat. You are soft, meaning not much muscle definition. You are healthy looking. And you are a pear shape, from what I can see. No matter how much weight you lose you will always have that shape.

I feel you alykat.

I feel you.

Seth Rogen ;)

Don't forget Kelly Clarkson. She's always up and down.

Nicole Richie.

Christina Aguilera got skinnier after her Dirrty days.

Britney Spears.

Beyonce got pretty thin at one point.

Jack Osbourne.

Kristie Allie, and all those other ones from Jenny Craig.

Klohe Kardashian.

Tori Spelling.

I'm sure Lindsay Lohan believes she lost a ton of weight, and looked amazing.

Good luck team!

There is no right program to follow.

The only real "right program" is the one that is right for you.

Generally that would be eating healthy food, and following the food guide as best as you can.

Remember: calories into your body has to be less than the calories you are burning to lose weight.

You can figure out how much your body burns per day by using the tools under "my account".

Remember to work on your cardio, and some weight training for muscle definition.

It should melt off like butter in the sun.

hahah thats kinda...weird.

I know they sell cartons of double yolk eggs in downtown Toronto but I wouldn't buy them.

Generally, a large egg is about 95 cals or so.

And a large egg white is about 15 calories.

so 95-15=80 (egg yolk)

So 80+95=175 for your eggs.

Or so... I don't know. I'm just guesstimating. lol.

Hey there.

I refridgerate them. They do "shrivel" a bit regardless. I would think they'd be good for a week, maybe a little more, but not very long...

Ahh...not really.
What you can do is zigzag your cals.

One day they are the lowest you should go,

the next they are a few hundred higher than that.

Then the day after theyre a bit lower.

Apparantly it helps to keep your metabolism running? I dunno. Check it out.

but in terms of eating 4000 then eating like 400, no.

I don't know but there is this absolute terror deep inside me that is just sooo over whelming. Being thin is unknown territory to me. I don't know what I will look like, and it will change your life, and  probably many decisions you make will be altered by the fact that you are thinner. It's weird but..can't help it.

I'd love some feedback as to why I am hungry.  Here is typically what I eat:

Wake up at 6 - eat a half whole wheat 12 grain bagel on the way to work with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray

Around 9 - a yogurt

Lunch - salad with beans, goat cheese and balsalmic vinegar

Snack - usually fruit - today a clementine

Today I had a small portion (1/2 cup) of orzo with peas and I still feel hungry around 3 or 4.  

I think this should be enough food, but I am still hungry!  I don't want to go over my calorie limit and dont 'know what to do.

Hey there.

You're hungry because the foods you are eating are not keeping you full. Yogurt, salad, a clementine...they don't have much fibre do they?
Fibres keep you full longer. And yah, you aren't eating enough. I mean, apparantly under 1200 cals you are starving, but you know what thats ridiculous.

You can eat like tons of veggies and never reach 1200 cals and be extremely full. So whatever. But yes, generally ,1200 cals is what you should aim for.

With your yogurt, have some almonds or walnuts.

Try eating scrambled eggs with your bagel, and I dunno, a home made smoothie.

At lunch eat your salad, and have some tuna on a small tortilla with lettuce or whatever.

hahaha happy fat tuesday:

think of it this way.

a 1000 calorie pancake

PLUS all the other food youd normally eat.

SO that is potentially like, 3200 calories.

It is an extra 1000 calories that is added to your body, and deducted from the calories you are burning to lose pounds.

And it takes 3500 calories burned to lose one pound.

If you have trouble staying to a strict diet, it is because your diet is too strict, and is not fulfilling you!

Add as much flavor to your foods as you can using spices, onions, garlic, whatever.

Just make sure you don't use some spice mix that has a ton of salt- thats very bad.

 Also, every other day let yourself have like a serving of cookies (2), or 1/2 cup of frozen yogurt, or whatever you enjoy- just make sure it is a serving...

and not worth 1000 calories.

Hey Stacey,

I read your journal from December- I assume you lost about 20 pounds. Kudos to that!
Like I mentioned earlier, I am starting to write journals, so comment if you wish. I will comment back.
Can't wait to hear more about you in detail!
