    If you are not strength training then start, 2 x per week whole body workout, start with machines but eventually switch to free weights, this will change fat to lean muscle which will help in clothing sizes, petrapoo 45

    I just joined today! Yay! I was on fitday.com but their website is slow and I have to reselect my foods all the time. I started my weight loss on 1/21, week ago today and have lost 5.5 lbs. Tracking your foods is the way to go. I have been maintaining 1200 or less calories a day and it's working. I am also burning 200+ per day, so that's why I've lost so much and it's the first week. I just want to stay motivated.

    @janiegirl -- not to be insulting, but you look to be about my age and I know what you are talking about. My goal, however, is to get down to 140....can't wait! I'm 165 right now and don't know what happened, probably the night time munching and having teens, but they're in college now, no excuses!

    I've started training in my basement with light weights (5 lbs) and do some ab work...I think it is helping me. Also getting on the treadmill for 15...turns out to be about a 30 min workout; that should be good right?

    Hi LYnn! I just did the same thing, started the same day as you and lost 6 pounds! Started at 172 down to 166, just from counting calories! It's amazing, isn't it?

    Hi everyone, I am new to MFP and also a 1200 calorie gal and would like very much to be friends. I need all the motivation and suggestions as possible. I am in a funk right now but wanting to get back on track with exercise, water intake and cutting the sweets out. I have arthiritus in my knee and back problems. I recently had to go on 3 week leave from exercising 3x a week 45 min. due to injection treatment in knee. So as of today I am trying to get back in line with meeting my daily food goals. Preparation is my weakness. Oh, I will be returning to bootcamp first week of Feb. (Low-Impact for me)
