So I am two weeks into this dieting thing. I started off at 117.3 pounds on Thursday 8/6. As of Thursday 8/13, I weighed 118. Yesterday, I weighed in at 117.5 pounds. ARGH. It's been two weeks. Two weeks of restricted, 1300 calorie a day food intake and working out hard 3-6 times a week and nothing has changed. I went to the gym twice yesterday. I may have lost a little excess fat off my waist, but that's it. Dan said this diet was supposed to help you lose 1 pound of fat a week. I've gained weight. I just want to be around 110, is that too much to ask? I'd be really happy if I were able to lose some of that weight from my thighs and boobs -- finding 32DD bras is pretty much impossible. Can I go back to 32C? Or even 32D? Please? I'm sure even that little change would be a big help.

*Okay, maybe not 110. I checked, and for my height, 110 gives a BMI of 20.45, which is considered underweight. I want to be 112, at most (BMI at 112 is 20.82, considered average). I'm currently about ~~177.5~~ 117.5 pounds, with a BMI of 21.84, also considered average. WAIT, according to a different site, I wouldn't be considered underweight until I'm about 100 pounds, so 110 might still be possible and healthy.

**I swear I'm not anorexic or bulimic or anything like that. I eat enough, and I eat healthy. No bunging, no purging, no exercising to exhaustion. I just don't like having rolls of fat when I sit down or thighs that rub together when walking.

Edit: 117.5 pounds, not 177.5!! Whoops!

But I used to weigh 110! Throughout high school and into college, that was a fairly steady weight. In the last year or two I've gained a couple extra pounds that I want to get rid of.

I know the stupid roll is normal but I don't like it. It makes me feel squishy and gross.

You've gained a lot of muscle through martial arts and stuff, though, and body composition does change, especially as you ADD MUSCLE.

Srsly girl, if you keep up with the bad body image, I will get you for the disordered thinking that leads to the disordered eating. I WILL.

I was really muscular in water polo, too -- remember my big shoulders? I did a lot more exercise back then, at least 2 hours a day 4 or 5 days a week. Now it's a half hour to an hour at least 3 days a week. But, I'm doing more weight lifting now and less cardio. I need more cardio. I'm working on that.

I'm just trying to be healthy. I'm seriously considering dropping this "diet" because it's not working and it takes a lot of juggling to get everything just right.
