    Me five. It is hard because we have to exercise more to burn calories off.

    I do and my food diary is open if you want to take a look. I have been doing okay, but sometimes it is a struggle. I would love some low cal food suggestions. :) Good luck!

    I do too. I have been getting used to it little by little and workout harder & longer to compensate for the extra calories I might eat during the day!

    me too. I sent a friend request. I only have 320 calories as a deficiency. The losing weight part isn't really happening but I like being able to see how much fat, sugar, and sodium I'm putting in my body.

    I'm actually having a hard time getting to 1200 because I work at a desk all day and when you're eating healthy 1200 calories is a lot of food!

    i just joined 5 days ago and i also have a calorie goal of 1200... i joined cause i have a huge problem with portion sizes... but this week i've been going to zumba and i cant seem to reach my limit of 1200! im always under and it keeps telling me that my body is gonna go in ''starvation mode'' we'll see how it goes today since i wont be able to workout and im going out to dinner tonight.
    my day looks something like this:

    fiber 1 cereal and 1% milk: 1/2 cup each
    pasta with homemade tomato sauce: 2 cups
    0% greek yogurts with added fruits: 1/2 cup each
    lean chicken with veggies: 2 portions meat, 1 cup veggies
    1% milk after work out: 1 cup

    good luck!

    I just got reduced to 1200 a day. And on days I can't exercise, it is hard! but I see it as a badge of honor for losing these 38.5 pounds. :D

    Asparagus, Beet Root, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower, Celery, Chicory, Hot Chili, Cucumber, Garden cress, Garlic, Green Beans, Lettuce, Onion, Radish, Spinach, Turnip, Zucchini

    Apple, Blueberries, Cantaloupe, Cranberry, Grapefruit, Honeydew, Lemon/Lime, Mango, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pineapple, Raspberry, Strawberry, Tomato, Tangerine, Turnip, Watermelon

    These are supposedly negative calorie foods! I STILL log all of my foods, but I have really been trying to load up on fruits/ veggies that are low cal b/c I really want to eat after I work out, and for me its better to be able to eat more food that's low cal. Most of these fill me up too. :)

    Wow! that's awesome!! IT IS REALLY HARD TO STAY BELOW 1200. But I'm loving it because to stay under I have to stay active. I just started swimming. I am going to try to swim everyday for 30 minutes and do the treadmill at night for 30 minutes. I will start lifting weights soon. That should help. If you can PLEASE share your typical breakfast lunch and dinner.

    I keep it simple at breakfast, when I have time to eat breakfast. I go with oatmeal or a sweet n salty bar. Sometimes i'll cook egg whites and add veggies or stop for a egg white flatbread on my way to work.

    Im not very creative and I dont have alot of time to cook so If its easy and low cal im eating it.

    and me. but it gets easier as you get used to it and realize the more healthy the food you choose to eat, the more you can eat.

    I have a calorie goal of exactly 1200 calories a day. It is hard because I cannot treat myself to certain foods, but by using portion control and watching what I eat. By eating the right foods I am never hungry! Please anyone else with the same goal add me as a friend and share your food diary! I am always searching for new low low calorie meals!

    Mine was 1200 and then I updated my profile because I am not working out 5 or 6 days a week. It boasted up my allowed calories by over 200 a day!

    i am dealing with the 1200 cal diet. it's really good because it really limits your food. it kind of makes you eat healthy food if you wanna eat alot fo food.
