    Hi Eliane,

    I'm doing 1200cals a day too - I'm finding though that some days I have to control myself not to eat over 1200 and others I am 300 cals under - are you having the same issues?

    I've been doing this for 1 week and I am not noticing any change in my body....

    I am doing 1200 calories per day! It's not really that hard. I don't starve myself and there are days when I go slightly over or slightly under! It's all about what you choose to eat ~ and the choices we make effect the end result! Would love to have more friends to support each other too!

    Feel free to friend me, but be warned, while MFP set me at 1200, most days I burn 1000+ calories working out, so I actually eat like horse :blushing:

    You should eat at the very lease 1,200 calories a day. If you don't your body will go into starvation mode and it will make weigh lose even harder. Even worse if you work out at all.

    Yes, I'm on 1200 cals a day too, and finding it a bit difficult, to say the least. But I'm hoping we can all support each other and get there in the end! :-)

    I keep hearing lots of different things about the calorie intakes, I was told that if you do any exercise that you then need to eat those calories so your body doesnt go into "starvation" mode. I have my cal intake set for 1490 (this was set for my weight) I get daily exercise as I work at the N.H and walk and push residents in wheelchairs. But I am under my calorie intake everyday after the exercise. Which I would think was a good thing, but I'm super confused, and really I am with you all on just trying the loose weight in a healthy way.

    Me too!! I always go over my 1200 limit but I feel that if your feeling weak....eat something! I'm trying to wean myself down to the 1200 calorie a day mark but not going to make myself sick trying to lose a couple of pounds.....I have plenty of time to get to my goal weight in a sensible amount of time.

    i set my cals at 1150-1200 for a few years and now finding it has hurt me more than help me. this is a very touchy subject. if i would have known then what i know now, i would have never set my cals so low with the amount of exercise i do. i have recently upped my cal intake and prepared for what is about to happen. i highly suggest setting up with an nutritionist to help you set your intakes. i wish i would have.
