Hi Caitie! Hope all is well...Please feel free to let me know if there's anything I can do to help in the journey! Have a great Monday! 

Just an observation, why are you eating so little? Your body needs food for energy, 1000 seems so low...Have you sought any medical advice on this? You can lose weight without starving or depriving yourself. :) 

I agree... I'm around your same weight, and I hesitate to go that low in calories because I don't want to feel like it's a diet. If I'm hungry all the time, then it's not a lifestyle change, it's just a temporary way to lose weight, but not something I can sustain in the long term. In the past, it's lead me to fall off the wagon, and fall off the wagon into a big chocolate cake or something bad... where now, I can have a small amount of anything, which makes it sustainable. 

Ohhh... and I forgot to say... CONGRATULATIONS on the weight loss! That's awesome! 

Thanks guys. Actually my mom has the book at home and there was a doctor on DR OZ that was introducing the diet. As low as it is in calories, I actually don't feel deprieved if I eat the right things. I have tried other diets like atkins before that didn't work for me. And the key to the diet is having one day off a week that you eat whatever you want to restart your body so that it doesn't go into starvation mode.
