Friends eating 1200

bkcuti3 · May 2014

Um, I'm eating less than 1200 but also working out. From what I hear this is a bad choice o-o

Why are you eating so little??? Losing weight does not have to be miserable...

RW1312 · May 2014

I am also doing 1200.

Eating 1290 but eating the wrong foods. Getting tired of salads what to do????
:yawn:

This is why I drink my vegetables. Put it in smoothies and juices and you're all set.

:yawn:

What are wrong foods??? I've had no problem eating everything I always did just needed to eat less of it. You can check my diary (today is higher than normal)

Hi, I am also on 1200. I've just had ankle surgery so am very inactive at the moment. I'm going to see how 1200 goes for a few weeks then adjust if I need to.
Anyone is welcome to add me! X

I am eating less than 1200 calories but I hope to try harder tired of the alerts

bkcuti3 · May 2014

But I'm not miserable, I have to admit when I first started I wasn't doing it the right way but now I've got good plan. I full myself with protein so that I won't get hungry and time my meals and snacks accordingly so that I don't find myself binging at night. (Which was a big problem in the beginning) I'm not eating just lettuce and air, I just portion and try to substitute foods that are high in fat, carbs, sugar, and calories so that I can be about 3-400 calories under 1200, exercise already included.

I'm eating 1200 calories, but this is based on a sedentary lifestyle. I did earn 170 calories extra today because I exercised.

handbagfan · May 2014

Hey,
I'm in this club too :happy: although I'm finding it hard and my stomach disagrees with my intentions completely judging by all the noises and complaining it does !!!:laugh:

Those of you who have been eating 1200 calories for a while......we're you hungry in the very beginning and did those feelings of hunger go away after a few weeks?

amraymond18 · May 2014

I'm doing 1200! Anyone can feel free to add me

I am very active on this site and love having new friends!

RoxyDisaster · May 2014

I eat 1250 but I'm usually not very hungry at all. I was at the beginning but now I've gotten used to it.

NancyKhuu · May 2014

MFP sets me at 1200 although I don't know why. May be because I'm short? I don't need to lose weight necessarily. But anyhow I almost always eat more so my diary is in the red more often. 1200 just isn't enough for me generally. Anyone can feel free to add me

guardianwill · June 2014

My Goal is 1200 each day as well. Not too hard to maintain infact most days I am below and have followed through with my goals. I have 9 pounds to go to accomplish my final goal. Would love to have friends too that are motivators as well as like being motivated.

toadg53 · June 2014

I'm doing 1200. Sometimes I'll eat a bit more, but not much. When I'm exercising more, like lately, if I eat more, it's not a biggie. But if I do eat more, it's maybe up to 1350. Anybody can add me if they'd like. I've been working on this since July 2013.

eslcity · June 2014

Looking for some friends eating 1200 calories ????

Oh, and lol--I'm not some icky guy--I'm a happily married woman!

___________

i'm offended by that......^___^:laugh:

KarenE86 · June 2014

I'm on a 1200 calorie plan and have my diary set to open. Anyone on here is more than welcome to add me. I think being friends with other people eating the same calorie amount and have their food diaries set to open will help us all get new food ideas!

goldthistime · June 2014

Other way around. IMO it's easier to eat less in the beginning. As though your recently acquired fat is allowing you to coast for a bit. I and most of my friends started at 1200 and eventually upped our calories. Some within a few weeks, but almost all after a few months. A hungry feeling is one thing, but when you don't have enough calories you end up with less energy, sitting around more. Better to just eat a little more.

hannah4412 · June 2014

MFP gave me 1400 , but I am cutting down to 1150-1250 for the first few months to jump start my weight loss. Good luck! (:

JenD1066 · June 2014

I'm 1200.
I've read many posts that say 1200 is too low, so one morning I calculated TDEE - 20%. It came out to (you guessed it) 1200.

BlueberryWatermelon · June 2014

Hello! I eat 1200 + my exercise calories. Feel free to add me!

jjwilde265 · June 2014

i set my goal at 1200. but only as the 3 days I see my girlfriend we always go out for meals. so the only way I lose fat is keeping it at 1200 on my log days. prob averages around 1600 over the week. works out like a calorie cycling diet I guess. works for me though :-)

DELETED.

Didn't quote the person I was replying to.

Since everyone is either new here or has very few posts.

I'm Rebekah, 29, I eat 1200 a day too. I have hypothyroidism and I tried eating what MFP recommended and I didn't lose. Switched to 1800, then 1500 and still nothing. Checked my calories burned at rest with my HRM, turns out it is really low. Switched to 1200 and have been losing consistently ever since.
