thanks!

nah man I wasn't starving. In fact, most days (90% of the time) I was full and satisfied.
The only time I was very hungry was in the first 1-2 weeks which was expected but my body adapted fairly quickly.

As for going down to 140 lbs, it's honestly up to you. Just don't let anyone's ill informed blanket statements like "never go below 1600 calories...that's starvation territory!", or "if you cut to 140 lbs you'll be scrawny as chit, you need to gain weight first!" influence your decision. Most don't even bother asking about height, bf%, and activity level before making statements like that!

BTW I got crappy asian genes so a lot of you probably have faster metabolisms and won't really need to go down to 1400 calories. I'm pretty sedentary too and didn't do much cardio so you have to take that into account.
