It's going to be a long battle, but you can do it. (You and I have the same goal by the way, and mine is moving slowly, but moving nonetheless). I know you can do it. If you just make sure that you are getting good foods that are nutrient dense in those 1200 calories and not junk you will be fine. The combination of exercise and diet will work. Just keep adding more exercise so that you will continually burn more and your endurance level will peak. Good luck and please keep checking in. I am in the same place that you are and I am very determined to keep going.0

Same goals as me!:flowerforyou: You can do it!0

Sounds like we are all trying to lose about the same amount of weight. let's try to really help each other. I am only at a 3 lb loss after 2 weeks. Jennifer-congrats on 13 lbs. That has to feel great. You are probably already down a size in clothes.0

Same goal as me too! started last week! good luck to all :-)0

Same here! Been on here for a while. Have fallen off the wagon far too many times. My current weight is around 167. Was shocked to weigh in this weekend with a 2 pound loss after going overboard with the mexican food last week :laugh:0

Try not to get hung up on weight, measurements are far more accurate. I lost 23.5 inches in 2 months w/ Insanity. & shakeology. I didn't lose much weight, but in 3 months I went from a sz. 12-14 to an 8!!! Enlist some cheerleaders for encouragement, losing weight won't be easy but it's worth it! Good luck to all of you.0

If you can handle that caloric intake and have some flexibility in your eating schedule. Try to spread those 1200 calories over 6 meals (don't ever skip breakfast).
Eat six 200 calorie meals and drink 2 glasses of water between each. Have your last meal before 8pm at night (I try to stop eating by 6 or 7, when possible).
This will help your metabolism run more efficiently. The water is underrated and VERY important.
Good luck!0 -
the big thing to remember is that each day is a new day, so you mess up one day, just dont let that discourage you. take baby steps, know that you will get there. Just build a calorie deficit and it will come off. :smooched:0

Now that is what I want to hear! I have always been a exercise person. I slowed down to an almost complete stop over the past 6 months, because I wasnt controlling my food intake and started gaining over the past 2 years that I lost motivation. I have recently started a military type boot camp 3 times a week and I do a spin class once a week. Although I was not "dieting" until today I do feel better. I have not lost a pound and do not feel a bit of a change yet, I am hoping between my workouts and my daily calorie intake for the most part of my week moving foward, I am hoping I see a change in my body. I am a big scale person so it will be a challenge for me. But thanks for the reminder that it isnt only on the scale that matters.0

Also, shoot for lower carbs, and higher protien, protien keeps you fuller longer. Nuts are great, greek yogurt is super. I try to cut out as much bread as poissible that seems to be where my problem area is.0

I stopped consuming alcohol... not completely but cut so much off & I naturally lost 5 lbs. I also eat many homemade prepared foods. I love vege's & just really... you have to be conscious, its nt wrk once u love what ur feeding ur bod!0

Ha. We have the same goals. I was close but then let it all go. When I got close to my goal before I noticed that the days I lost were on exercise days. So go for it you can do it!0
