REPAIR YOUR METABOLISM! Especially for ladies (but applicable to guys too)!
Is it legal to post twice in one day? Doing it anyway because I am seeing so many FS members eating extremely low calories and not getting results... my heart goes out to you! Found the attached blog from a lady that went from sub 1000 calories a day and GAINING weight (after some inital weight loss), to almost 3000 calories a day, and losing fat!

This excerpt gets to the heart of the matter:
"Ignore the mainstream media. A lot of my initial resistance to increasing my caloric intake came from what I had read in magazines. The majority of diet plans featured in fitness magazines contain 1000-1500 calories. On the rare occasion you do see someone eating more than that, it’s a high level competitor doing hours of weight training and cardio a day and still getting by on 1800 calories or so. You never see women eating 2500 calories a day, let alone 4000. Women almost seem proud to know that they are eating less than they should. Before I started lifting, my calorie counting tool told me I should be consuming 2500 calories per day to make up for my energy expenditure, yet I saw it as some kind of victory if I only hit 1100 that day. That is NOT right. You should never go more than about 500 calories below your energy output if you’re hoping to lose weight, or your body will shut down?"
She hit the nail on the head! Check out the link to see all she had to say... she gives step by step instructions on how she fixed hers. It will take time, but you have to start now. Good luck!
