    I eat at 1200 cals.


    You mean for breakfast right?

    :D

    To those who are doing 1200/day how did you arrive at that amount? I'm a petite 5'1 girl and I usually eat 1600-1700 a day. You can lose weight eating more (you just have to figure out your TDEE and BMR). If you still arrive at 1200 after calculating that then so be it, but I'd encourage you to think critically when setting your calorie goal and not set too large of a deficit!

    I try to eat at 1200. I eat around 1400 if I exercise sometimes...Just depends on how much exercise I do. I'm going to add you. I lost 30 lbs and then gained 18 lbs back because of exactly the same reason as you! So I am working on getting those lbs gone plus getting closer to my original goal. Would love to see other people's food diaries as well! So if anyone wants to add me I would much appreciate it as well!

    I have mine set at 1000 per day since the running/biking calories on here are so off base.. Especially for hilly and canyon terrain.... i figure it offsets.. take yesterday.. I ran a 3.59 mile desert run in 89 degree heat and MFP said I only burned 230 calories!!!! ..yet, even going off the standard calorie/mile ratio... I should get credit for at least 350 calories burned (ie, 100 calories burned per mile).. I dont really care about their counts (but it does look funny when someone walks for 3 miles and burns twice as many calories as an intense running course!)

    Feel free to add me, I am preparing for bariatric surgery and just cut my calories down from 1500 to 1200. I do not eat the extra calories it gives me for exercising. I try my hardest to stay within 1200 but sometimes I am over it.

    its funny you say that cause it is true. about eating more & losing weight. I was struggling to lose weight, I was averaging around 1000-1200 per day and managed to only lose around 10 lbs in 3 months. I finally met with a nutritionist who bumped me up to 1500 per day and I lost another 15 lbs in a month and a half!

    1200 here too! Maybe not always 1200 of the right calories, but I'm on track most of the time :)

    I'm aiming for 1200 a day too, most of the time I'm under, until the weekend when I go over, hoping to change this from now on. I'm 48yrs, and hoping to get rid of my rolls by the end of August. My food diary is open, but need some more like-minded people, feel free to add me. I'm 14st 2lb and have been stuck at this for 4 weeks now. I lost a stone from feb to march, before joining about three weeks ago.

    I'm at 1200 calories, only becuase that's what MFP reccommended. I try to stay within my limit, but don't get too upset if I go over. I try not to eat back my workout calories, but sometimes I do! Depends what I am making for dinner!

    My diary is open, and my choices are pretty boring-would love some friends with open diaries as well to get ideas from, vice versa.

    I'm on Dr. Ian Smith's "Shred." I average about 1,200 calories a day, although I'm set at 1500 (1485 BMR). Feel free to peruse my diary and add me if you like.

    Many of my meals are soups/stews that I've created--keeping calories at under 200 per serving. So if any appeal to you, let me know and I'll send you some recipes. This week has been a little flakier than normal for the homemade stuff because I've been helping a friend out in her store and getting home too late to cook much though. :D

    Hi!

    Don't know if you are still looking for friends but you can add me if you'd like. My diary is open to friends.

    MFP set me at 1200 a day . I aim for 1100 to 1200.

    I know people have concerns about that few calories but I think it's a concern if you continue to want to eat "treats". I really try to make the most of the calories by what I choose to eat. I tend to my protein levels and am generally over what is suggested. I can do that because I make an effort to avoid refined sugar and grain....just veggies, some fruit, lowfat dairy and lean (most of the time) meat (and not just chicken). I do make allowances for wine.
