    I found that although I was losing more quickly, 1200 calories was just too low for me. I was becoming obsessed with figuring out what I could eat and portions and creative ways that I could max out on food while keeping calories low. I upped it to 1360 and it made a huge difference for me. That little bit of extra flexibility really helped. Also, I have noticed as well that my weight loss has slowed down considerable now that I am in a healthy zone (I'm 5'7" and 148lbs). But, I seem to be able to maintain my weight while indulging on the weekends occasionally and keep working out daily. It's all about what you can sustain for the long haul I think!

    I lasted a few months on 1,200. MFP assigned that to me at 5'8 with one pound to lose per week. It worked but I wasn't happy. I upped it to 1,420 and am much happier.
