    I'm also around 1200 calories, but I'm older and short. I think 1200 works fine for petite women, but might not be enough for bigger people.

    I am on 1200 calories which is what was set for me when I registered. Today is my 3rd day. I lost .4 lbs the 2nd day and today I gained .5. So I'm already depressed. I've gone out and walked the past couple of days. I rode my exercise bike for a bit. So today I'm starting over again.

    Hey!
    You shouldn't weigh yourself everyday!
    The weight is never stable. Especially when you exercise, your muscles grow and the weght goes up a little bit.
    Set a goal like weigh yourself every other week. And try to check your measurements in stead.

    I'm eating 1200 a day. I'm 54, 5'3", and I exercise regularly, including running 3-6 miles 3 times a week, strength training, and bicycling. I do not eat back my exercise calories. I'm losing weight at around one pound a week. If I'm hungry, I'll add a 100-calorie snack. I focus on healthy eating and small treats. At 1200 calories you have to be conscious of every bite you take. It isn't easy, but it works.

    Hi
    I am just starting the 1200 diet and today was my first day. I didn't eat enough. I hardly ever get hungry and have about 80lbs to lose. I'm having issues with this site and adding foods to "My Foods" without adding it to my current daily diary. I want to add foods be able to choose and not have to search for foods everyday. Help
