Friends eating 1200

Wow! Thank you for posting. I have so so much to lose. I have been eating what MFP says I can eat and have not been losing anymore weight. iIve been getting so discouraged. I have hypothyroidism too. I guess I need to lower my cals. Not an easy thing for me, but I want to lose weight.

That's my daily quota too--not much is it? Glad to meet you--I'll add you as a friend if you don't mind. By the way, you are so pretty! Oh, and lol--I'm not some icky guy--I'm a happily married woman!

LMAO!
Love this post...gave me the giggles :laugh:
I recently read a thread where she had said to msg her if you were single, in 30's, professional etc.
So I msged saying almost what this person said...she sent me a friend request anyways

I don't understand why your calorie count is so low.
MFP has set me on a 1200 calorie (used to be slightly more till I lost the 13lbs) but that's because of my height (4'2), age, lifestyle etc
This is what I ate 1 day last week:
Calories Carbs Fat Protein Fiber Sugar

Egg - 1 Medium Hard Boiled, 2 whole 128 1 8 12 0 1

Yes, this was a good day of having calories available for a later snack but I have also eaten enough food to feel satiated!
BTW...for an evening snack I ended up having 2 cups of plain air popped popcorn which added another 30 calories.
I am NOT always this good, this just happened to be a day that I got a fair amount of food in for the day with not all my calories being used!
Here are some low cal suggestions:
Calories Carbs Fat Protein Fiber Sugar

Private Selection - Belgian Almond Thins 18 3 1 0 0 1 You could eat 8 for 140cal. 1 toll house cookie is 90cal!
Popcorn - Plain and Dry Air Popped Popcorn, 1 cup 15 6 0 1 1 0
Kellogg's - Special K Moments Dreamy Coconut, 1 pouch 70 12 2 1 2 5

This is a cool treat using only Bananas!

Feel free to add me as well! (:

1200 x 2 here!

me! well 1075 is my daily goal but sometimes go a little over and I walk every day. Only 5'1", I find that works for me.

Add me

Add me!!!

I am eating 1200. Though there's days just can't stick with it and eat 2000.
But I lost 5lbs in a month. So it's okay to fall off the wagon sometimes.

Hi, I'm on that limit and it works great for me :-)

worked it out now I hope. I' m fat again though

I'm new here...working on the 1200 plus exercise calories! Open food diary, I'd love to have friends for the journey

Hi.
I have no doubt that, in the winter when things are quiet and I'm at the computer all day, that 1200 is my actual normal.
I'm finding that as I age and my metabolism changes, I need fewer calories to avoid thickening in the waist, and can't eat as much as I used to.
I've been tracking my calorie intake to try to determine what is maintenance at a weight I like, and it seems I can take 1400-1500 if I'm working steady in the hot sun (landscaping tasks).
I don't remember how private my settings are, but you can add me - or if you can contact me, and let me know that I'm too private to add.
It's nice to meet you, by the way.

Hi, im new here and im aiming to only consume 1200 a day. Sometimes i go beyond and often i eat under. And the app keeps on telling me iv been eating too low but im fine. Dont feel hungry. I want to have some friends here to share experiences and tips from those successful in losing excess weight and postpartum belly. Im a sedentary person but since starting logging my calorie intake with fitnesspal im doing best to walk around our subdivision. I want to stay motivated and achieve my ideal weight. Can i befriend you guys?
