I'm sorry you're disappointed and I know how you feel (I only lost .5 last week after working really hard at staying low in my points)...but if I were you, I wouldn't cut more calories...your body needs the minimum and you don't want to make your body think you are starving yourself because then it will be harder to lose weight from now on (your body will try and hold onto everything). I would just resume the diet the way its intended (following it exactly) drink lots of water and hit the gym. Sometimes your body does wierd things...but you don't want to put it through more trauma than is necessary! Keep with it! You're making so much progress in the long run!! -Your new (Tall/Advertising/Happily Taken) Buddy, Laurel 

Thanks. I ended up eating the way I've been eating as I've lost this weight so far and went to the gym. I just wonder if I'll have to go to the gym every day to keep this up. Bummer about your loss, especially since you worked so hard. At least we can both be proud that we're doing good things for our body and simply by eating healthy and exercising, we're so much better off than most! 

Absolutely! :) BTW, are you on the creative side or the account side of advertising? 

Creative. It'd be more accurate to say I'm in corporate communications - I do everything from advertising to public relations to special events. 

Cool! :) Me too! I'm a copywriter. :) It's uncanny how much I have in common with some of my new buddies on here! 

Ah, nice! Freelance?
