    I am 1200 also. Started 3 weeks ago. I am 5'9" started at 155 goal is 140. I try to burn an additional 300 cal a day minimum, running/walking whatever. I am not eating back my calories from exercise. Doing low carb and quite happy with results so far. Not hungry as I drinks tons of water.

    My goal is also 1200, but I also frequently eat back my exercise calories. I know exactly why I've been fluctuating the same few pounds for the past four months. I could have fallen back into the old pattern of just quitting and gaining much of it back, but I kept logging with MFP, so at least I held on. ! refuse to get even close to 200 pounds ever again!

    I'm 5'3" and have had a little breakthrough now to 131 pounds, but I'm still striving for 125. I don't expect it will be easy as I fluctuated between 123-135 throughout high school over 30 years ago! The last time I was below 135 was when my first son was 2 years old (now 26). Back then I worked a Very physical job in a bakery, with the added bonus of not having the desire to buy sweets to overeat at home, as we had to try little bites from each batch for quality control. Fast forward to my mostly sedentary life, some disability, age 49, menopause and an adult son who is not on board with this healthier lifestyle and keeps tempting foods on hand. I know I really need to get myself back to more strenuous exercise and better accountability to make it happen, sticking with the 1200 calorie diet. Looking for friends here.

    Yep, am on 1200 and find it a bit depressing to stay in that limit without exercise sometimes. I eat a few exercise calories back, but make sure there is still a good few left. Most days I manage to finish at 1000-1100cals. I often have one day where I go significantly over my cals, but I look at the whole week and as long as the week averages out alright in the end, I am happy.
