@fozzy: Glad to hear you're doing well. I kind of had a bout of depression kick in earlier, but I'm pretty okay now.

@Len: Oh cool. I have an idea what I would like then. :)
Would prefer I wait to send my order in until you're less busy? Or is it okay if I put it in and you just get to it whenever you can?

I would love to place an order and possibly help you out. But I can wait until you're not as full if you'd prefer. I don't want to overwhelm you.

@len: Oh my gosh. For some reason I never got the ping. :P Thank you so much for providing me with answers and no worries about things being a bit unclear. I'll wait until you have more slots open before actually ordering though. Unless you want to put me on the waitlist.
Mainly with the custom mouse I was just wondering if it would be possible to request something related to fandoms. Like the One Ring for LotR, or a sonic screwdriver for Doctor Who. I'd definitely keep it PG-13. :)

@juneberry: No worries at all. Ask him whenever you can. I really appreciate the gesture honestly, so whenever you get the chance is fine. And yes, please. That would be great if you could please turn to some of your writing servers if possible. And actually, would you mind recommending a few to me as well? As a writer myself, I think that could even be a beneficial place for me to join.
The only side-effect I really have been feeling is a little bit of tiredness. Nothing more than that. But I don't know if it's due to so few calories or another reason. We actually have a blood pressure pump at our house that both my parents and myself use a few times a week usually, and thus far it seems to be healthy or "normal." I will definitely keep an eye on it though.
@theory: Honestly, almost every single source I check says that no one should go under 1200 calories a day, regardless of height. This is on different health websites (though some may not be accurate it's the same on all of them) any google search turns up the same results. As well as my weight loss app. After I finish logging my calories in for the day I'll get a message reminding me that my daily recommended minimum is 1200. I've always thought as long as you have 1000 at least you'd be fine. But that's apparently not the case.
I never thought of the exercise being the cause for lack of energy. Tha's actually a very good point, so thank you for bringing that up. I did start exercising and dieting at the same time, so it's very possible it could be the exercise causing me to feel tired. Especially since I wasn't use to it before,

@juneberry: Thank you so much for the response and for being willing to ask your dad. I'm sure there is indeed a lot I'm missing as far as the puzzle goes. But I'm not exactly sure what it is. It at least seems that I'm losing weight at a safe rate which is good. But yes, please do let me know what you find out if anything from your dad or research. I'd honestly appreciate it a lot.

Oh wow. That is just ridiculous. I can't even begin to explain how ridiculous it is honestly. This isn't about "protecting the unborn" it's about controlling a woman's right to choose. (Or live in some cases since it would ban abortions in the case that the mother could die.) Since when is an unborn fetus (who may or may not survive full term as it is) more important that someone who's already living and breathing on their own? I hope against all hope that someone fights to overturn this law.

Hey guys. So I've just recently started on a diet to lose weight (first week of February) and I've noticed a recurring pattern that is bringing up some concerns for me.
Most days I am quite a bit under 1200 calories, which is the minimum recommended amount according to most sources. I eat three meals a day and one to two snacks, but usually only average about 1000-1140. (Today is the closest I've gotten in awhile at 1170) And this is regardless of how I try to vary things I eat and how much I try to hit that "magic number". I am just literally unable to consume 1200 calories because I'm too full between 1000-1140 to possibly eat anything else.
This happens AT LEAST 4-5 days out of the week, sometimes even every day. And it concerns me since it's not just a rare occurrence or a once-in-awhile thing, it's most of (or all of) the week.I've heard (and been constantly reminded by my weight loss app) that being under 1200 can have a negative impact on my health. But the problem is, I'm not trying to eat this little, I'm just too full to eat anything else by the time the end of the night comes around and I notice I'm under.
And this isn't even taking into consideration calories lost by exercising. If I log my exercise, I tend to be just a little over 1000 or even under 1000 net calories on most occasions. I either measure or weight practically everything I eat and if anything I tend to overestimate or round up my calories if I'm unsure. So my actual intake would likely be less than what is recorded. And because I carefully weight and measure things, I don't think it's an error in recording calories.
I even tried to add calories to my diet today to get closer to 1200 by eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich to indulge a little, but I still couldn't make it to 1200 calories overall. And often times a serving size of something is too much for me so I have to undercut it.
I'm eating a lot of vegetables, fruits, cereal and hummus. And I've been staying away from snacks like potato chips and foods with a lot of fats. So it's not that my diet mainly consists of junk food or anything of that sort.
The only days I manage to make it over 1200 are usually the days I eat ice cream and that's only because I add a banana and chocolate syrup to it. And I'm not always in the mood for that heavy of a snack so I don't eat it ever day. And even on those days I don't always reach 1200, so it's not even a guarantee that I will make it to that point.
Should I just not exercise at all? Should I force myself to eat the remaining calories if I'm not hungry? I don't want to get into the same rut as before by ignoring my body's signals that I'm full, but I also don't want to experience too many negative impacts on my health either. (the only thing I've noticed is I'm a bit more tired than I was prior to dieting, but not substantially.)
This hasn't prevented me from losing weight at all and I seem to be losing at a decent rate. (I lost about 12 pounds since Feb.) I'm just concerned I'm not eating enough
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, since this is really concerning for me.
I am 5'1 1/4 and newly starting a vegetarian diet for ethical reasons if that helps at all.

@unicorn: Indeed it is! And as a writer, I love seeing visual depictions of my characters. It sort of helps them come even more alive.
