I have been on a 1200 calorie well balance diet since may 26th 2008. I am loosing weight faster than I thought I would. I am healthy, I don't feel weak and I have great muscle tone showing through. I work out about 1.5hr per day 6 days a week burning about 500+ calories in working out alone. I have lost to date 43 pounds (in 100 days). Since 8/18 I have notice my weightloss slowed down but it has picked back up again it could have been related to that mthly girl thing  .
Now that I weigh less do I need to adjust my 1200 and up it? My Dr is saying this is still ok. What I show overall is:
+In: 1200
-Burning:2850 (I log the gym alone around 500+ calories burned) so the rest must be moving about my normal day at home/ kids/ chores?
-Deficit:1650
She says this is good and it is working because I am sticking with a well balance /low calorie diet (with a little cheat here and there ). I am putting my metabolism back to where it was (it was very fast 15.5 yrs ago) I was one of those people who could eat just about anything and never gain weight until I had my 2nd child.
Now, I don't feel hungry and when I do I eat (unless it is after 8pm). Just wondering though even if I am healthy is that too much of deficit? She says eveyone looses weight at different speeds and I am ok but I DON'T KNOW??
Any advice /opinions?
Thx,
jen
