Well, yeah, I guess if you want to lay around the house all day, and try to lose weight, I guess you would have to eat 1,200 cal's. Lol.

And that is why some people do. Not everyone has a gym membership or lifts or works a fast paced job. Some people sit at computers all day, some people have been advised by their doctors to NOT do heavy exercise, some people are so overweight that 1200 calories a day has been recommended for them by their doctor. I know a few people like this and think that it can be hard for them to hear people calling them unhealthy, or lazy, or telling them to eat more when they are trying to lose weight. Not everyone needs to eat more. Eating more is what got people overweight in the first place. Congratulations on your success and finding something that works for you. For others reading this post the title is correct not everyone needs to eat 1200 calories to lose weight, however everyone should find the right calorie intake/deficit for them to lose weight whatever that number might be.

Where there's a will, there's a way. I simply said that you don't HAVE to lose weight on 1,200 calories. I lift, and I have 2 herniated discs, bad knees, and I still find a way. I had these problems before I started lifting, or exercising. Not saying EVERYONE should do this, but if you're tired of being hungry, you don't have to eat like that. Also, you don't have to have a gym membership to exercise, and even if you sit at a desk all day, if you exercise, you don't have to eat 1,200 calories. You can eat back exercise calories.

I sit at a desk all day. I don't have a gym membership. I have asthma. I have been advised by my doctor to not do extreme exercise but to do moderate exercise, low to no impact. I have arthritis in my knees. And yet, I can eat my 1800 calories because I am exercising for free! Walking and hiking mainly. Want to lift? There are lots of things you can lift without going to a gym. Lots of things you can do free or cheap if you WANT to. This is what is different for me this time. My eyes are open to the options and I'm taking advantage of them.

As much as I love food, I love not exercising even more. I'll stick to the low-cal thing. I don't want to work my butt off just to eat more.

God forbid you want to lose weight and not excercise!

Hey, who fixed my pictures??? Lol. I was trying like heck to resize them, and now their all better! Lol. Still one that's too big though....oh well.

LiftAllThePizzas

Great job. And while somewhere out there, there might be someone for whom 1200 is a good number, I've yet to see a single 1200 calorie "success" on this site that I would recommend emulating.

I own a cleaning business and am very active. It is ignorant, and rude of you, to assume you know anyone here well enough personally to make the statement you made about me. If I eat more then 1300 or 1400 maintaince I gain weight. Each persons metabolism is different. To assume all people can eat 1800 to 2000 and lose weight is rather self focused and limited.

Woohoo, you look awesome!

No, it's not ignorant and rude. You sound fairly active, so you're BMR is probably well above 1,200. Everyone gains weight when they initially increase calories. If you wanted to increase calories, just do it gradually, expect a little weight gain, as your metabolism recovers. BTW, I didn't say everyone can eat 1,800-2,000 calories and lose weight. What I said was, you don't have to eat 1,200 calories to lose weight! Why do people like putting words in my mouth??? And why do people get so defensive when I tell them that they can eat??? I would think they'd be happy! Maybe they need to eat a donut.
