Biggest Loser

I'm pretty sure anyone who reads this blog will be a friend of mine on Facebook. But just in case, I really want to get a Biggest Loser competition set up. Last time I did it, I found a whole new sense of motivation. I really surprised myself and sooooo many good things came from it. My whole life was changed. Well, as I've said before, it changed again when I got married. I need to shed some pounds and get my body healthier again. If anyone wants to join me in a Biggest Loser challenge, please let me know. We would choose the winner based on their percentage of weight loss versus number of pounds lost so really anyone could win! Only one person would know the weights of everyone, and it would only be so we could determine a final winner. Absolutely no judgement. We could set up a blog and google doc or something, emails for motivation. Any suggestions are totally welcomed. Send me a message here or on Facebook and maybe we can get something rolling!

So remember how a lost 30 pounds? Remember how I promised myself I wouldn't gain anything when I got married? Okay you probably don't remember that promise but I do. Well, I broke that promise. I'm ashamed to say I have gained some weight. I'd prefer not to tell you the number, just know that I am sad. I am not far from what I weighed after losing 30 pounds but still.

The point of this post is not to whine and complain (like unfortunately many of my posts have been). The point is to get some advice. We got an iPod touch (YAY) and I got this app (thank you Steph) called My Fitness Pal. Well, I entered in all my information and it told me my net calories a day should be 1340. I have not yet found time to get back into a workout routine yet, so right now I am trying to only eat 1340 calories a day. I am STARVING all the time! Seriously, I eat a pretty good balanced meal: protein, fruits, veggies (sometimes), limited bread, etc. and I try to eat every couple hours but like 30 minutes to an hour after I eat, I'm starving again. Not just a little hungry, like painfully hungry. My question to all of you (please help) is: is this healthy???? 1340 calories seems like a super small amount to me. When I was working out really hard I was eating a lot more and still losing weight. I know my ability to eat more came from the calories I burned working out, but I'm just confused. I'm confused about if it is healthy for me to eat such a small amount of calories a day. Should I listen to my body and eat more? Or should I listen to this little app telling me to starve myself?

I always thought it would be easy for me to lose weight again after I figured out my system from before. But it's reeeaaaly hard. I can't figure out just what I did before. I know I worked out a TON but I'm either too busy or not motivated. I'd really love any and all advice, even if it's small. Thank you. :)
