in Introduce Yourself
I've been doing MFP for about a year now, but just recently have started to become more active with it. I have lost 19 pounds and would like to lose an additional 40. I'm currently on 1200 calorie day diet and would love to have some friends on here with similar calorie goals so that we can share food ideas, because I am still struggling with that!!!

Thanks!!

    You can go ahead and add me. I just started this week and it is hard in the middle of the day. Is there anything any of you have found to snack on.

    I found a low calorie snack, its in the baby aisle. The Gerber Puffs for kids. They don't taste terrible and 1/2 a cup is only 25 calories. :)

    I'm on 1200 calories and have been doing it quite a while. I'm getting close to done and going to switch to maintenance in a week or two probably, maybe even three or four. I'm not sure, but I'm gonna get there! You can add me if you want.

    I do okay while I'm at work. Well I say that, but I eat out for lunch pretty much everyday and I don't always make the best choices. And the weekends when I'm at home are always bad too. I have to small kids and have yet to find a way to add a work out to my day. Excuses, excuses, excuses...

    Best way: Work out videos! lol I am addicted to them and I do them with a couple friends and they have kids.

    Hi there, I'm with you on the 1200 calorie kick right now. I've been doing this for a little bit, but the best thing while at the 1200 limit is the workout allowance. If you do it right, you can actually eat more calories and still be under your goal for the day- just make sure you work out!

    check out the eat more to weigh less forum before you decided to stay on the 1200 diet for too long. Sometimes thats just not enough for you to maintain your bodys needs, and eventually you will plateau.
