    Please add me, I try to also stay as close to 1200 calories as possible. I've been using MFP off and on for over a year, and I love this site!

    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)

    You can add me. I am new to this - only on day 4 of keeping up with it, but trying to stay at 1200 and exercise 5-6 days a week. I gained 15 lbs around when I turned 40 and can't seem to lose them.

    Hello ladies! Started eating healthy right after Christmas and have lost 14 pounds! Started MFP about a week ago. I have tried tons of diet programs but this is my first time counting calories! I'm loving that it requires me to limit the amount I eat because on Weight Watchers, Atkins, I had a hard time breaking my binging habits. Need support and workout/ recipe suggestions. Feel free to add me! :smile:

    Hello ladies, i am wanting to shed about 20 pounds. Currently doing Bikram yoga 4 times a week & planning to get on a 1200 cal diet. Food is my biggest weakness, so am looking for some encouragement , success stories and to encourage all of you out there with my progress (fingers crossed).

    started at the beginning of January. Going under 1200, lost 4 pounds but somehow gained them back ..tracking is helpful. I know my issue is my limited mobility. I have had numerous knee surgeries as well as a challenging knee replacement. Will keep at it but feeling frustrated.

    I am not exercising at all.....I hate to and I'm so out of ship. I have a pretty new treadmill and recumbent bike but never use them. My mindset now it to start exercising as soon as I'm under 200lbs. I've tried so many diets; nutrasystem; Jenny Craig; Weight Watchers; Liquid Diet at Baptist Hospital; Sugar Busters and Atkins, over the last 12 years. After every diet I go back to my same old weight and add 10 lbs.

    My doctors are making me lose it now for health reasons.

    Yes! Add me to your conversations!
    My goal is to lose 15+ pounds and have just started ZUMBA 3 x a week. IT IS VERY HARD FOR A 56 YEAR OLD, but I do love it!

    ZUMBA works...but it is hard for older folks like me (56)!

    I really love it, but it is hard to keep up with the class "younguns" average age probably 27 years old...LOL

    I'm 1300 calorie set by a dietician. I'll be your friend! I am not a cook at all and do eat some processed food so if that bothers you I will understand if you don't want to be firends.

    I'm in 1200 cal group too! Been plugging away at this faithfully since September 2012. I have lost 22 pounds. And yes, being older doesn't help much ~ over 40. Stay positive... It is working... Slow and steady wins the race!!!

    I am not a girl but I am a huge proponent of eating as few calories as possible to get fat loss over with ASAP. Up until today I was eating 900/day.

    Trolling? Cause that's not healthy, not should be encouraged.
