    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 :)

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

    LMFAO I had to reply. I love the attitude and mentality! I get the opposite side of the spectrum of "why I eat so damn much" There is always going to be a hater... thats how you know you are doing it right!

    I don't understand why anyone other than the person who is eating 1200 calories should be concerned about it. It's no body's business how much someone is eating.

    I eat bacon and drink diet coke. I live dangerously and like it that way. People always have something to ***** about and you know what they say about opinions. :laugh:

    Will MFP set people to a caloric goal that low?

    We are too busy working our *kitten* off for the extra cals! You didn't think we just sat around and picked at chicken and salad all day, did you? We, too, do kick-*kitten* cardio and strength training to rev up our metabolism and stay fit. It's just one of life's realities you have to face when you are under 5'2" and almost 50 years old--we can't all stay slim on 2000+ cals a day.:tongue:

    Heck i'm 6 feet tall and I cant lose weight on anything over 1400 cal a day and i definitely must work out with bad a** cardio stuff and so forth....
    i too stick to about 1200 a day.

    For a woman of my diminutive height, my age, and physical acuity, 1200-1300 is precisely where I should be eating. I had someone try to get after me about it once. They did not like my response. Too bad for them!

    hahah i love this so much! I work out so i can eat!!! MFP put me at 1210 ugh!! I'm not dropping tons of weight over night, and i'm not starving to death either! It can be done and done well. You should look at my diary and see how much food I eat in a day. Just b/c it is low cal doesn't mean I'm not getting enough nourishment. I've come to terms I'll never be able to eat like everyone else. I'll have to measure and count every calorie and work out everyday for the rest of my life. I am happy :)

    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...
