In reply to the discussion: Supersize it- Amazing fact about America's Obesity Crisis [View all]moriah
(8,311 posts)40. Oh goodness, I wish I could lose on 2000 calories! ;)
Too many years of screwing up my metabolism, I suppose. Yes, I'm jealous, but also very happy for you!
I am maintaining right now on 1400 and light exercise. I'm trying to work now on building muscle rather than cardio now that I'm at the weight I am happy with -- went from a size 20 to a size 4, and that's the smallest Wally World's misses section carries, so I really don't want to get lower (I'm at a 23 BMI, highest was a 44.6.).
