    I agree with this - if things people say online hurt your feelings you should probably just shut your computer off for a minute and regroup... do not let anyone hurt your feelings - especially if they are online.

    I do want to add something and I do not want it to be seen as bashing... because its not but I see this comment all too often "i am short, therefore I do not need as many calories' I am short , like child size short re: 4'9.5" and still eat at least 1400 calories a day. So please do not feel that just because you are short you need to eat 1200 calories, so if you do get stuck don't be afraid to increase your calories, I was doing 1200 calories a day and I stopped losing all together... I upped my calories and bam started losing again. Again I mean no disrespect as I know what works for me doesn't work for other. but I thought I would put that out there.

    please dont take this the wrong way, but I would say you might want to cut back.

    Thanks I'm on 1200 calories a day with a little cardio. I don't want to lift weights as I may get bulky...

    Fill me in... I have 70 pounds to lose (female age 38 5'4") to hit my goal and MFP gives me 1390 averaging 1.5 lbs loss a week. 1200 for someone maintaining doesn't sound unreasonable to me?? I'm expect them to drop me. So what is average for maintenance?

    He does if he is weak from having lost muscle mass and energy by not eating enough food...

    If your losing and not hungry at 1200 it must be working so not a bad thing. But I won't say that you can't still lose weight eating more as both ways are ways to lose.

    haha, thanks for the validation, but I'm a grown-up, and a very short one at that, so the 1200 cal thing doesn't bother me :)

    I hear ya, I just see so many comments etc of ppl being mocked for 1800, that it really disturbs me.

    Thanks to OP for being thoughtful. :drinker:

    I'm 6 feet tall - and i eat 1200 calories a day and I'm proud of it.........

    I dont think many people have tried to fight me over much at my size. =)

    wow! I don't know how you do it.

    I'm 6'1" and can't seem to stay under 2000... and that's BEFORE eating back all my exercise calories... some days I'm closer to 3000...

    You're right, everyone can eat what they want. Just don't expect me to listen after they say "egos are nutritious".


    Egos ARE nutritious! They're full of self-worth and entitlements.
    Now eggos on the other hand......
