Posted in another thread, but wanted to share with the skeptics ;)

I never really bought into the 1200 calorie diet, but I guess I was kind of doing it before I found you guys. I was going balls to the wall with cardio for an hour per day 6 days a week, no strength training, and eating between 1500 and 1800 cals per day. I found this group a few weeks ago, and dove in head first. I upped my cals to 1920, lowered my cardio way down, and started using the machines at the gym (I'm scared of the free weight area...lol). 2 1/2 weeks later, I'm down 4 pounds after being stuck for 3 weeks. I even had a couple days where I went over my TDEE. I'm LOVING this!
