Bonjour! New here :)

I just started using MFP a few days ago so I thought I would introduce myself. I'm 19 years old and my main goal right now is to lose 50 lbs. I've always lost weight and gained it back my whole life, so I hope I can finally create a healthy lifestyle. My biggest problem right now has been meeting my 1200 calorie goal, especially since I've been exercising more (I've been trying to get back into yoga & going to the gym and it's been great!). Though, I'm horrible at cooking and I am a busy college student so I've been consistently netting way under 1000 calories. I'm worried that I will go into "starvation mode," mess up my metabolism and actually gain weight. On the other hand, I'm worried about going over the calorie goal and I think if I actually ate 1200 I'd be eating so much, so I feel safer being under. Ah the dilemmas. Anyway, I would love to find some new friends here for support/motivation/recipe ideas, etc. so feel free to add me and I would definitely appreciate any advice!
