Hello..13lbs lost since 04/01/2013

My name is Khalilah Moody and I currently reside in Hattiesburg, MS. I am 35 years old and recently went to the doctor and found that I have spiraled into the 300's. My weight before 04/01/2013 was 310.00 and my bp was 185/109. I started 04/01/2013 using MFP faithfully along with Runkeeper and today I am 297lbs and my bp yesterday was 137/97. Myfitnesspal has really helped me. I am on a 1200 calorie setting and it is wonderful. I always need motivation and encouragement or a friend to help me along the journey. Add me as a friend if I can help you or motivate you or if you want to help encourage me.

    That's really great that you're doing so well... however based on your current weight; 1200 calories is extremely low! I have my profile set to lose 2 pounds a week (the max that MFP will let you choose), I weigh less than you, AND my calorie intake is 1360 ...I don't understand why your calorie intake would be les than mine. Did you set it at 1200 manually or did MFP choose it for you?
