I also found out that for me, I need some carbs each day. I eat some rye bread or a *small* serving of pasta for a snack and I try to just eat veggies and meat for meals. But being near 1000 cal/day seems to be the trick. I'm constantly hungry, but the last few days has shown me just how hungry I can get before I start feeling ill. Now I know that being a little hungry isn't so bad.

Phins, gotta get on that scale every day. It's the only way you'll know.
It is suprising how little food you actually need. I did ~1500 cals a day for 3 mos, and it was difficult to stop losing weight once I reached my goal. Had to force myself to eat extra for a couple of weeks.

Nope, I have been riding my bike to work and home every day and I have been eating a lot better, I just want to feel better and I dont want the fact that I may have ost only 3 lbs or some **** to kill my motivation.

Go grab a 3 pound flank steak.. That's quite a bit of volume, and a flank steak is mostly muscle! Just imagine how much that'll be in fat volume.

My lunch today, according to the government nutritional values calculator, was all of 180 calories. Two ounces of turkey breast and half a cucumber!
