John, I'm really proud of you for taking a couple of weeks off, and for having the good sense to diminish your calories while you're not working out. I think 800-900 is a little low, but that's a personal opinion, not a professional one...
yeah i've been on 900ish cal's for week now and my energy level is good. I still wake up jumping for a new day. Plus even though I cut my cals I didn't cut my meals. I still eat 5 times a day. If my energy drops or I start to see a negitive effect from it I can increase it by a 100....and go from there.

Lisa you've done soooo soo well Im so increably proud of you. Kittens you sound extremely dedicated yourself. You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work.

Maybe we need to get another exercise thread going in this section to get some participation from the entire board again. Always a good thing to help encourage people to workou.
