27 female in need of support!

Congrats on the progress you've already made! Are you taking pictures? Those can really help when you feel that there isn't much change.
Drinking more water is just something you need to teach yourself. Try making it a habit to drink 1-2 glasses of water first thing in the morning. You might have to "force" yourself at first, but you'll get used to it. Also, keep a water bottle with you/on your desk, so that you're reminded of drinking all the time.
Try to always eat more than 1200 kcal. Eating less might make you prone to binges and cause muscle loss. Although the best thing is really to listen to your body and if you don't feel that hungry, then there's no point in trying to force 2000+ kcal per day.

P.S. feel free to add

Congratulations on your great progress so far. Listen to your body. if you feel good at 1500 calories, that is a great place to start. I don't think there is a magic number set for everyone, just listen to your body. I wish you so much success on your awesome journey!

Congrats on your progress thus far!! I drink only a glass or two of water a day (or coffee or tea), you get a lot of water from veggies and if you are eating really clean I would guess youre getting quite a few of those a day. Also, you can eat clean and still eat high calorie foods, meats, nuts and avacados are a great start.
As for noticing your loss. I've lost 40 lbs this year. I didnt notice myself til the 35ish mark. Everyone else would comment, but I couldnt see it and I couldnt feel it. Dont despair, just remember why you are doing it and keep plodding along. One day you'll wake up and notice

Congrats on your loss so far, that's great!
For those of us who have more to lose it often takes a lot longer to see changes. I've lost about 30lbs so far and am only now starting to see some differences (even though I know I've lost both weight and inches). I think it's because you usually lose fat pretty evenly all over your body; it's not like you lose 5lbs of fat from your belly at once, you're more likely to lose a thin layer of fat all over your body so it takes a while for the losses to accumulate into something you can see in the mirror.
Just don't get discouraged, keep doing the right things and you'll get to your goal! And like others have suggested, take both pictures and measurements in addition to weighing yourself.

Feeling thirsty is your body's way of telling you you're already dehydrated, so you shouldn't rely on it as a cue to drink. It's a habit you need to form, and while you might have to force it a bit in the beginning soon you'll get used to it (and start feeling icky if you don't drink enough!). What helped me is filling a couple of bottles of water in the morning and then having one of them with me at all times during he day. Much easier to have a few sips every hour than down a massive glass in one go.

As far as food goes, it's probably a good idea to stay as close to your goal as you can get, but obviously don't force yourself to eat if you simply can't. However I think the general rule is to never let yourself get under 1200 calories as it's extremely hard to get all the nutrients you need if your calories are below that (not feeling hungry does not always mean your body has gotten all he nutrients it needs). Like someone already said an easy way to up your calories is to add things like avocados, nuts (peanut buttaaaaaah..!), meat, oils etc. into your diet. Make sure you get enough (good) fats, your body needs them.
Also, there's nothing wrong with having treats if they fit into your calories; I make room for chocolate several times a week and still lose weight, and so do a lot of other people. It's about finding a balance that works for you.

Good luck (and feel free to add me if you wish)!

I use to be over 220 lbs when I was 22 years old. I understand the frustion myself when trying to do good. As years goneby. My lost weight long through workshop. As went by after that, I been avg about 160-175. I enjoy this apps and its motovation of trying to loose one pound a week.

Keep it up! I know there be a few days of sadness or even a week or two. But don't give up and keep up with your goals!

I have problems with water myself. I tend to drink about 3 - 5 perday. To increase it I have a small water bottle thats mussered up to 2 cups. So each time I fin one bottle and refill with water. To me thats helps a bit. Also drink warm water helps a lot too. Not cold blaa. Good lucK!

It's amazing how easy it is to gulp down several sodas at a meal, but difficult to always drink enough water! In addition to adding lemon to water, another trick is to prep a pitcher with any other fruit you like (I am partial to orange slices or strawberries). You don't need to squeeze the fruit; just let it sit for a bit and the essence of the fruit will enhance the water. Keep the pitcher handy when you are active about the house or yard (chores, gardening, etc) so that you'll be more likely to pour a glass than skip it.
