Quick background: weight loss stalled for a YEAR! Tried all kinds of diets, was doing intense Zumbathons and loving it, but the scale didn't budge. Talked to a trainer, he said, 1200 calories will do it. Lost 5 lbs in two days, gained back 2 the next few days and holding steady there for a couple days. BUT....

I've been so irritable I haven't been taking any crap from anybody! And I am now so p***ed, that I want to lose the weight just so "they" don't have anything to make snide comments about. Grrrrrrrr!!! It's motivation!

You guys noticed any attitude changes with your diet?

    You're hungry.

    You PROBABLY need to be eating more than 1200 calories..

    I've been more irritable with my children at school, because of my lower calorie intake, but I'm happier and feel better about myself in my social life!

    Back when I was on 1200 I was very irratable. 1200 is not enough food for most people! You need to calculate your BMR, TDEE and eat more. Your body, mind, friends and family will thank you!!!
