I'm also around 1200 a day. I work out 3x a week and log every meal - I really feel I'm finally making a tiny bit of progress now that I'm logging meals. Exercising on it's own seemed to be adding the pounds
I was at my heaviest ever 20 days ago when I started MFP: 147lb, am now just over 143lb. Yay! I used to be skinny (around 110 - 120lb) and never had any problems (except maybe getting too light) until having kids - with kid no. 1 in 2005 I went up to 130lb and with kid no. 2 in 2010 I went up to 147lb in the years until now. Hoping to go down to around 130 - 135lb as I think any less would be too optimistic and unrealistic as I'm not a teenager anymore! I'm 40 now. Feel free to add me, I don't have any friends on MFP yet and need some accountability
I think my pound numbers are correct - I'm used to kilos

My story is very close to yours. My starting waight was 110-115. After my first baby I was 130lb. After the second baby 140lb. After my thired baby 145-147. I have been trying to get back to 130 for a while know. Resently I have changed my birth control method when everything I start was not helping me to stay down. I keep loosing and gaining the same 8pounds over and over. Add me as your friend and we can help each other.

I've set my tracker at 1200, but do eat some calories back when I exercise. I lift heavy weights 3x a week and then do some running and walking – maybe 2-3 sessions of 30 to 60 minutes right now. I currently weigh 122lbs, but was 114lbs in my profile photo, one week before a figure competition. I am 5'3" and age 49.
I am trying to clean up my diet and drop about 3-4lbs before Christmas to give myself some holiday buffer:) Will start in earnest in January to get back to competition weight and need to be leaner as I am competing at a higher level this time around.
My diary is open and I am happy to have new friends!8 -
My net calorie goal is 1200. Would love to have more friends with around the same goal. Adding everyone above. 1

Trying to stay within the 1200. Today I was 6 calories over and did not drink enough water. 0

I just joined this site last week and today was the first day I more or less stayed within 1200 (thanks to my exercise!). This is going to be so hard. I can easily eat 1200 in a single meal!0

Yes me! I need accountability as I've just realized that most of the past two months I've been going waaaayyy over!0

I need to jump back on the 1200 train! I was doing great and approaching my goal weight but then got into a relationship and, well, cue the happy relationship weight Would love to be held accountable. I workout twice a week: cardio and weights. Probably going to up it to three times soon. I don't want to eat back all calories burned, but don't mind going 200 over for workout days as long as it's healthy eating. I think some of my weight gain is muscle, at least, so I want to lose the fat covering it all up! 1

Please include me. I'm focused on eating foods with a high nutrient density.1

Also, if anyone would like to "friend" me, just send me a message. Thanks!0

I aim between 1,000-1,200 every day!1

I am on 1200 calories also and can see that these calories go very quickly! Will have to really make thoughtful food choices each time I eat. No more senseless snacking. The good point is that I have given up almost all cakes, ice cream, cookies, and candies. I only allow one sweet dessert on Sundays.3

Hi, anyone can feel free to add me! I was on 1200 for the last couple months, just recently uped it to 1300 as I am near my goal weight. Definitely hard to stay in limits, much easier with extra exercise calories to work with for sure.0

Any of you guys from the UK?1

My goal is net 1200/day, and I am trying not to eat back all of my exercise calories. I am currently at 136 and I need to be 116 to feel normal again. I am aiming to be there by March or April. Please feel free to add me if you like!1

I am approaching 60 years old. I am 5'2" usually 108 lb. I am up because of Halloween and now thanks giving. I live on 1200 calories unless I walk 2 miles or do my elliptical. I lost from my high of. 130 when I was 45 years old. I lost to 115 lb. 2 years ago, because of muscle wasting I took it down to 106 to 108. I worked on keeping muscle for a year but it is hard work.1

I am as well.0

I'm on 1200-1300, but I also eat back my workout calories *sigh* so 1500 is probably more accurate.
I'm new to MFP as well, so don't have any friends. I'm looking to lose that last "little bit" and tone up.
