6 meals and 1st week results/weird question

[Guest guest]

I'm the exact opposite. I get hungry about every 2 hours. Before

BFL I would just snack. And not always the best choices either. But

now that I have to eat, I already pack everything I need in my lunch

box and have it ready. It works perfectly for me. I eat at 8:00,

10:00, 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, and 7:00. I'm usually in bed by 9:00 or

9:30 so its been pretty easy to maintain and I'm never hungry. Even

when I count up my calories it is usually around 1200-1500 a day. And

my BMR is 1550 so I am pretty much on target. The only time I am

hungry is before my first meal. I have a 30 min drive to the gym

plus I have to feed and put up the dogs so that takes a lot of time.

I usually get up around 5:00 but don't eat until 8:00. But thats

okay. Its not bad since part of that time I am working out and am

not thinking about it anyways.

I have my first week results!!! Down 4 lbs! I think thats pretty

freaking awesome!

Question - do any of you guys have that one certain weight that once

you reach it guys start hitting on you? And once you are above it

they stop? I know it sounds crazy but once I hit 178 - which is in

no way, shape or form my ideal weight (more like 148) guys start

hitting on me. I was even followed on friday (very scary!) Like the

past 3 workouts I have been hit on. And just driving down the road

and stuff. Its pretty annoying. I thought it might be a confidence

thing but I haven't noticed a change in my confidence. Its almost

like my body looks off if it is carrying any more weight that 178.

You would think 178 would still be too heavy for most guys but I

don't know. And it seemed when I was 148 guys thought I was

unapproachable. I always had to make the first move. It doesn't

really matter anymore since I am happily engaged but I was just

curious. Any thoughts?
