Too few calories

I have started logging my calories at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/. I like it because I can get it on my iPhone as well. So yesterday, I enter in all the food that I ate and when I go to close out my day it tells me "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 148.1 lbs in 5 weeks". Then it proceeds to tell me "*Based on your total calories consumed for today, you are eating too few calories. Not only is it difficult to receive adequate nutrition at these calorie levels, but you could also be putting your body into starvation mode. Starvation mode lowers your metabolism and makes weight loss more difficult. We suggest increasing your calorie consumption to 1,200 calories per day minimum". Now, I understand what it is telling me. But don't sit there and tell me that if I eat like that everyday then I will have lost 10 lbs in 5 weeks and THEN proceed to tell me that I need to eat more. Seriously? Kindof frustrating.

I still haven't started working out. But I am going to do it. I am. Seriously. :)

Today is Wednesday which means supper at church. We are having salad and lasagna today. I've already added up the calories and I can have 1 cup of Lasagna and 2 cups of salad. I can handle that, as long as the women at church don't bring out the good deserts. Ugh. We will see.
