i am on a 1200 but ive learned that the more you workout an calories you burn daily it will slowly give you more calories to eat... a 1200 calorie is deff hard0
-
I'm doing 1200 (trying to stay under). It's rough, but I'm getting better at it.0
-
Me! For the time being. I don't think I can sustain it long term, but it's my goal right now.0
-
I've been doing 1200 for 3 weeks now.. i find it hard to stay in my sugar im always over in sugar .. what are you girls eating0
-
I'm at 1250, but I work out at least 5 - 6 days a week so I have more to work with. Not easy.0
-
I got used to water and a Clif bar for breakfast - Healthy Choice for lunch. Dinner is the scary part.0
-
I eat a lot of veggies and fruit...For breakfast I do cereal like Special K or oatmeal! A typical lunch is turkey sandwich or like cottage cheese and yogurt and then dinner I do boca burgers and veggies....I have no problem eating 1200 calories, most of the time I come right under. I have been doing for 2 weeks now and have lost 10 pounds!!!! But I do go to they gym 4 to 5 times a week
People on here post great recipes for dinner too!!!!0 -
I've been doing it since for the past month and I find that when I plan out my meals for the week and log in what I plan to eat for the day in the morning, then I can stay on track. Cereal and coffee works in the morning and I make the same sandwich, yogurt, V-8 for lunch most days. I'm having fun with dinner though - shrimp, smoked salmon, caesar salad. (My sons are in college, so cooking for one is so much cheaper, I feel like I can splurge!)0

1200 calories here too :-)0

I was on 1400 cals but have lowered it to 1200 this last week but I exercise everyday unless sick so those are net cals - I dont want to take the chance of not eating enough and losing muscle as well as fat so trying to be careful- they say that the older you get the less calories you need but still have to be very careful about muscle and bone loss.0

I've been doing 1200 for 3 weeks now.. i find it hard to stay in my sugar im always over in sugar .. what are you girls eating
With sugar I'm in the same boat... I eat lots of fruits since I'm vegan so my sugar is always over... They say on all of the vegan sites to not figure in these natural occurring sugars... To only figure in added sugars like in bread, milk, processed stuff, and what you sprinkle on your food... Look it up on the web for more info :-) hope that helps0 -
I've been eating 1200 calories since mid-August 2012 (joined MFP in October) and its working just fine for me! I'm really short (5'1) and have lots to lose, so I don't find it too hard to stick to it and my progress keeps me very motivated!0
-
My daily target is a little over, but I've been trying to do extra exercise (2 x 20 min workouts and a 20 min walk minimum) as well as my 15 mins walk each way to work - that gives me enough calories to survive! And its helping me tone as well- I don't want to be left with floppy bits. School concert tonight so its going to be a chellenge to fit in my evening session, but if I walk both ways that will even it out.0

I am here too...0

I'm shooting for the NET 1200 calories.... i.e.. eating back the calories when I exercise but days like yesterday where I had more exercise than I usually do, if I wasn't hungry, I didn't eat so still hit the 1200 calories consumed. Regardless, you wanted to know what i eat, I have my diary open to the public so feel free!0

Please check this, learn about BMR and TDEE and adjust accordingly0 -
I've been doing it for over three weeks now. I haven't found it that hard but I'm only 5'0". I do eat back the calories I earn from exercise. There are days that I am hungry though. I don't worry too much if I go over now and then as long as I am not earring crap and try to keep it healthy. So far it's working. I've lost about 7 lbs0

I've been on 1200 since I joined, even when it said I reached my target and that they would change them to suit...stayed at 1200 to eat!
I find that I can eat it no problem but I think I need to maybe cut it down a little myself to notice a difference x0 -
I'm managing 1200 calories pretty well. I think the extra calories you get from exercising helps, even though I haven't had to use them much.0

I've done 1200 since June. Lots of salads with very little dressing, roasted veggies topped w/ Greek yogurt, Atkins meal bars and laughing cow light cheese are kind of staples in my diet. Worked very well for the first 50 lbs.... i'm just shy of losing 75 total now...and the going is slower. Trying to up the exercise whenever possible!0
-
LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of veggies!!!!! They have fiber which fills you up and water and vitamiln and minerals. Plus LOW in calories (most of them)
