    Am a bit late to this thread, but I'm just starting over at 1200cal after having my baby and planning for a wedding this year! I am 5'3'' . I will set my diary to public, feel free to add me- I welcome any tips, encouragement and help I can get!!! We can SO do this :-) It is easier with like-minded folks, though!

    I have a 1200 calories goal and an open diary. I exercise 5 - 6 days a week for 30 - 60 minutes and I eat my calories back most of the time. I'm always looking for friends that log daily and are supportive.

    Hi i'm new to this and it has also told me that i'm on 1200 calories a day. Does anybody know though when you input your exercise and your calories go up should you still stick to 1200 for the day or use up the additional calories? have been trying EVERYTHING the last few months to shift a stone (always that last stone is the hardest) and no matter what i do i just can't seem to lose i do a couple of runs a week and a couple of bootcamps. Love this app though really makes you think twice before stuffing that something extra in your gob!!!!

    I totally understand - I just started and I'm getting 1200 calories a day as well; however I earn a lot of calories on the days that I run. BUT I'm afraid to eat them! But then I also worry that my body will go into starvation mode if I don't get enough. It's a kerfuffle. I did the BMR calculation as suggested by another poster here and it said I should be eating 2,000 a day. It's very confusing. I guess I'll see if I start losing weight too quickly and then up my intake.

    I will add you, MFP set me at 1200 calories as well, although I may adjust once I really get into things.

    I'm up for having an open food/exercise diary! Extra push not to go over my goals. I'm set to 1200 too. How do I make my diary public? :)

    I am at 1200, and I try to eat back some of exercise calories. I workedout at lunch today and burned 300 calories. I just had my dinner and I am only at 1100 calories. Not very hungry, so not sure I will hit 1350.

    If you are breastfeeding you will need more than 1200. The calories for your baby have to come from your food and 1200 isn't split very well between you and a baby.

    You should be eating more 1200 calories if you're breastfeeding. Providing your child with enough nutrients should outweigh the importance of losing weight.

    ^What they've been saying. You should definitely be getting more calories in if you are breastfeeding. I'd talk with your doctor or a doctor to see about a calorie plan while breastfeeding.

    I'm with you. I am loving the Iphone app. I changed my lunch order when I checked the calories. I signed up a few months ago but really started Tuesday. :happy: I'll set mine to public as well. Good luck.

    Agreed^^^ If you are breastfeeding, please consult your physician or a dietician about the caloric needs of you and your baby:flowerforyou: Congratulations on your baby and your upcoming wedding!
