Hey
For the next 10 weeks I am determine to lose 20 pounds and today is my first day of the 1200-1300 calorie diet. Anyone with me? Just add me I would appreciate every friend request, just am really wishing I have a strong willed community. I eat very healthy (no junk food ever for 2 years, not even once ), but dont expect others to eat this maniac way. I need a support group that dont exceed calorie limits, so that I can get motivated to go through this 10 weeks.
I know calories are low, but I know what I do and actually must do it. I am 5ft7-5 ft8, around 152 pounds, want to be around 20 less in 10 weeks. I gained weight with a healthy paleo lifestyle, because I binged on potatoes with butter due to depression for several months.

Hello,
I like the spirit. I would like to join you in this task. Let have a transformation in coming 10 weeks.0 -
Hey add me in..
Even I want a buddy to keep me checked and motivated in this journey. My goal is to loose abt 25-26 pounds in next 3 months.
Lets do it together...0 -
i would consider a more realistic goal that is less likely to end in failure and bingeing... but thats just me!0
-
I am trying to achieve a similar goal (10 kilos) and I am on a 1200 calories a day diet! let's join this effort together!0
-
Yes please add me.0
-
I am set at 1200 calories a day, honestly I don't eat perfectly "clean" but I don't find it incredibly difficult to keep it at 1200.0
-
So I was just wondering how you guys develop such strong willpower to stick to 1200 calories a day? I have a similar goal but I keep finding myself going over.
Also do you find a stricter network more beneficial or a network whose people can relate to your setbacks?0 -
This is a setup for failure. Smh :noway: :noway: :noway:0
-
I just don't have any foods that I really enjoy so that probably helps a lot. I am weird, but honestly if I had certain foods I loved I would find it very hard to stay at 1200 probably. From your profile pic you look great already anyways0

Of what? The water? :laugh: :huh:0 -
Im the same as crikey katie. I would like to join you!. How do you add some one?0

This. 1200 calories is a way too low calorie goal for most people in the long term. Do you really see yourself eating like this for the rest of your life?0 -
Add me. I too am at 1200 calories a day and am not doing such a hot job. Exercising no issues....eating ummmm; yeah. I have 30 pounds to lose0

Hey, thanks for your interest in this challenge!
Sorry if I made somebody uncomfortable with my clean eating habits, I didnt mean that I expect the support group to be like me in this matter. I do it for health reasons (former acne sufferer) and because I like the feeling to be 100% dedicated to something. I dont crave fast food. I eat paleo diet plus beans, lugumes and occaisonal grains.
With strict I meant just fitting into those 1200 calories, something very difficult for me at least!
I will add you!
P.S. To those of you who said it is programmed for failure, I respect your opinion, just dont share it. If the diet is rich in nutritions and is short term and the right mindset is present, I believe will be very beneficial. Anyways, wish you luck all of you and stay motivated!0 -

For me NOT doing a daily total but a WEEKLY helps a lot! I do 8400 per week and don't worry much over the individual day!0 -
Why should weight loss be a "challenge"? :huh: :huh:0

Really 1200 for the rest of my life????? NO! I'm on a Diet! when the weight is off I will gradually add calories back to my TDEE!!! Not sure why people think eating this way is permanent!0 -
Good luck.
You are 22yo, 5'7", 152lbs, female. I entered that info into a BMI calculator. Your BMI is 23.8. Normal range for someone with your stats is 18.5-24.5. It will be VERY difficult for you to lose 2lbs a week consistently, and if you do, you will be losing lean mass, not fat. 2lbs is doable for obese/overweight people - not so much for people in a normal weight range.
But hey, do want you gotta do. If (and when) you get frustrated with your progress you may want to consider reading these links>>>

I've eaten under 1300 for the last 9 weeks. I've recently upped my calories to1500 as I've intensified my strength training and have added BCAA's to my diet (thought I would need the leeway in allotment of calories). I've yet to need the 1500, as I'm perfectly satisfied, still, they're there if I need them.
You're more than welcome to add me0
