Not trying to cheat... but I feel like I have. I refuse to weigh myself and see an increase in my weight when I haven't strayed from my diet once, and have been pretty diligent about working out. Plus - as long as you eat less than you burn, right? Weighed myself twice today... I think if I move the scale to different places on the floor it weighs things differently, so I'm going to NOT move it from its current location and go from there.
Challenge #1 starts today - already planned my work out, just need to get motivated this afternoon after I do some desk work and such... but I plan on doing a DVD workout thats about 23 minutes long, I'd classify it mostly as heavy calisthenics and circuit training... then because my feet finally feel better, I'm going to get on the bike for 20. My goal for the week is to work up to 30 minutes on the bike at a time.

I saw your question about 1200 calorie diets- Mine is about 1350 and I work out 5-6 days a week and I've lost 2 pounds a week for the last 2 months.
If you are at 1700, truly- like you're measuring and entering every single thing- and it is not working for more than 1 month, then yes you could try dropping it.
Usually I aim for 1200-1500 and it fluctuates to an average of 1350. But you have to be really good about WHAT you eat on this low of a caloric intake. When you have so few calories to expend, you have to pay a lot of attention to getting balanced nutrition. I usually enter my foods before I eat them. Let me know if you want more details, I'd be happy to tell you what I usually eat.

Yeah I think I stick around 12-1300 calories usually, but I just wasn't sure if it really works dropping you calories like that.
I've also heard that sometimes the lower calories, plus an increase or even staying the same but working out intensely, can kinda make your body go into "shock" and retain whatever it can because it's like... worried about your condition? I dunno... lol

lol, yes that's true. When you start a new workout plan, your body holds onto more water in the muscles as part of the healing process. It IS possible to eat too little. You should not feel hungry. If you start to feel hungry- eat something even if it is something small. If I go below 1200, I wake up in the middle of the night hungry. That is NOT good. Your body will tell you what it needs. If you feel hunger pain, that means you are going into "starvation mode" and your body will want to hold onto fat and you may not lose weight.
