Lilla, you look *fantastic* I thought that was supposed to be an 'after' shot when I saw it!

Sumaya, that's me, too! I'm teaching 2-4 hours a day, PLUS practicing, PLUS working out at the gym. Acccording to Fitday, I'm burning, on average, 2600 calories or so. But if I eat much more than 1400-1600, I don't lose any weight at all. At those levels, I can lose about half a pound a week. Any less than that and I'm afraid I'll slow my metabolism (plus I just can't stick with it).

I just don't get it.

Though I've learned that making sure those calories come from veggies/lean meats (no simple carbs, breads, sugars or processed foods) seems to be a key. And NO eating at night is helping.
