    Welcome. 1200 does seem awfully low, but without knowing how you completed the diet plan and what goals you set, impossible to say! Just remember exercise will earn you more calories.

    Heya, I'm also pretty new to this but from reading the boards today 1200 seems to be a number quite a few people. So far I've found it achievable but this is only day two so time will tell. So far I love putting in what I have been eating and actually seeing how good or bad it is into the food database so I know for the future whether it can be a treat or something a bit more reguarly. Good luck with your first day tomorrow .

    Hi,
    I have a target of 1200 as well, which is OK (I am now a week in) - as long as you enter stuff as you are going along it will be a good highlighter of how much you have eaten previously (or it was for me!! I put in the weekend before I started just so I could see what I had done, and it was a massive amount of calories, which I knew it might be, but not that much!!!). Try it and see, and as the others said, exercise gives you more room to play with!
    Good luck :bigsmile:
