I eat ~1200 calories a day and have lost almost 42lbs since Thanksgiving.0

If it works for you great but I figured out my tdee -20% (mine is 3000 cals) and been losing 1-3 pounds a week.0

I lose about 1/2 lb a week eating 1200 calories a day and I have been eating some of my exercise calories back from time to time. I think that someone with more to lose might lose at a higher rate. I have about 18 to lose in order to get back to a healthy BMI. No problem here with the mere 1/2 lb a week though, I've done it the fast way and it's doesn't stay off.0

I started 1200 cal a day and am down 30 lbs since November 12th. I'm trying to get 1400 now because I was concerned my body would go into starvation mode.0

I'm on 1200 a day, and i lost 7lbs in the first week, and 4lbs last week.
I do have over 100 to lose in total, but i think that's a pretty good start.
And i only exercised 1 day in those 2 weeks.
Done a bit more this week though.
I'm still getting 3 meals and 2 snacks a day though

I'm on 1200 a day, generally under, but I'm not really losing anything (lost 1lb in 10 days) I'm exercising too. Do I need to up my calories? (finding it difficult to go over 1200 unless I eat lots of the bad stuff), tend to only eat if I'm hungry. How do I increase my loss?0

I workout 3 times a week, I do not "usually" eat back my calories burned, and I eat 1200 calories a day and I have lost and kept off 32 pounds since July.0

For myself personally I don't lose on 1200 calories. I stall and don't go anywhere. My BMR is 1395 and I eat 1400 + some exercise cals back and I'm losing a little over a lb a week normally.0 -

are you serious?0 -
When I first started, MFP said I should eat only 1200 and I lost weight. Then it plateaued. For 6 weeks. As I did more research, both here on the boards and other exercise sites, I found a calculator that was more accurate and helpful in losing weight based upon my TDEE and goals set and realized I needed to eat more to lose. Since then I'm losing again...slower than before, but that's because I'm only 7lbs from my goal weight. Long term, I don't recommend a 1200 calorie diet.0

Yes I lost on 1200, but it not sustainable for a long period of time.0 -
OR you could eat a lot more and still lose weight! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-120

I am 1200-1300 and eat 50% of my exercise calories, I have lost 2.3 pounds on average for 16 weeks, slowed down over the last 3 weeks (holidays) but right back on track this week. I exercise 6 days a week.0

look at my ticker
I started counting calories back in april, so about 9 months.0 -
I am, and have been since I began on 3/12/12. My ticker shows that it is working for me. I only began exercising in October. I am getting in 1/2 hour on an eliptical M-F, and walk (brisk pace) for 1 hour on Sat & Sun, with wrist weights. I am 61 years old.0
