1200 group

Just looking for others on minimum cal intake, I thought it might be helpful if we could get a group of pals together for support!

I'm on 1200 a day -- !! whoo whoo! Check out my diary though -- it actually looks like I eat a ton

I am allowing myself 1300. I wonder how much difference 100 can make. I lost 10 lbs a year and a half ago by only allowing myself 1200. I was working full time and going to school so I didn't really have time to sit down and eat a meal. I made sure I carried low cal snacks. I was doing great but the i got pregnant. Now im back to square one.

I started out with 1200 but found that I was really, really hungry so I increased it to 1400. How do you manage 1200 and not feel hungry?

I am at 1200 myself. I find that when I'm watching what I eat, I find it hard to make the 1200, especially if I've exercised during the day. It's now 4pm here and I still have 869 calories to go! I should probably eat something, don't want to go into starvation mode!

me too! I find it fine to stick to and can eat loads except for weekends! going out or having a few drinks causes havoc. Even though i try to stick to the healthiest choices.

I'm at 1200, and I also do not eat back my exercise calories. I sometimes even find it hard to eat 1200. The past two days I haven't even made it to 1000 calories and felt so miserably stuffed at the end of the day there was no way I could eat anything else to meet 1200!! I do sometimes eat more on the weekends, but we have a weekly euchre night and sometimes order pizza, and even when I try to plan for it, I almost always end up over 1200!

So it looks like we've got a lot of supporters...how exactly does the group thing work? lol we just all become friends and then post in a forum??

Sorry I'm a little slow with computers/internet stuff....but I thought this group would be a great idea

I guess sometimes I do feel a bit hungry, but not any more than usual. I do pretty well on the 1200 intake, I think it may all depend on the particular person

Definitely! Sometimes I find myself within the last 300 cals and just can't do it!

no idea how the group thing works either haha -- lemme know when ya find out!

I do not eat back my exercise calories but now that my fitness has increased that I started crossfit in the mornings and rugby in the afternoon -- i'm thinking about it. But on those days I burn about 1400cals and there is no way in hell i'm eating 2600 calories a day

I think you can create a group under motivation on the boards and as long as you are friends with everyone you could post as you wish under a specific title (for example: 1200 cals club) You can have it be an open group or a closed one where you would have select members. That is my best guess!!!!

tritepoet

So is everyone cool calling the group "1200 group"? Any other ideas? Shoot!

You can't actually make a group on this site. You just become friends with everyone who wants to do it, and post a topic in the forums and everyone participates in it. Then you can post challenges, updates, quesetions, etc. Also, if you want to make it more like a group you can collect everyone's info and put it in an excell sheet and post weekly people's results! If you need any help I'd be glad to help you out!!!
