I have been under 1200 calories since Monday

I'm trying to stay around 1500, but have managed 1200 for a few days. Trying not to give into to the cravings.

What is the reason for doing this may I ask?

I shot up about 40lbs. I need to
Up my exercise, but also have to get used to eating a calorie restricted diet until I get my weight to a managible level.

@hideout: I dropped 60 pounds simply from cutting out junk food and not going back for seconds at dinner

I spent about a month trying the little changes. Maybe my idea of junk food wasn't strict enough. But I was hanging around 190. I need to get down some lbs and workout more and I will be able to be less restrictive.

@hideout: Stop snacking. Stop bringing a full lunch box to work. The first 2 - 3 weeks are ROUGH... gets better after that
