I just started 1200 calories a day a week ago. I've lost about 5 lbs so far in my first week. I'm looking for others who are on low-calorie diets who weigh foods and have an open diary :) Need some food ideas!

My diary is open to friends and I weigh everything.

    I'm doing 1200 calories a day eating five meals a day with the first three meals being the bulk of the calories and then two light meals/snacks in the afternoon and evening. I am drinking 4000ml of water a day so I get plenty of small walks in going back and forth to the bathroom!!! I've lost 4.4 pounds this first week. Please add me as a friend.

    I just started yesterday! :) It's perfect. It keeps me from snacking. Hopefully it would help.

    My diary is open, I limit myself to 1800 calories a day. Ive been to a dietician and she has helped so much. I lost 50lbs, but then I stopped and gained 60lbs. So im back on track to a healthy lifestyle

    I started a Fit body bootcamp 6 week challenge less than a week ago and it is going really good. I am a big cheater usually but I have no cravings at all so far.
    It is 50 carbs a day, 120 grams of protein and approx 1200 cal. I have to take 4 tbs
    of raw coconut oil everyday which is easy, I just put it in my coffee and protein shake. I am not good at weighing. I have to send my food log to the instructor. We do a hard core 30min workout minimum 4 days a week. I am trying to do 5. I am finally over being sore. Add me and good luck to everyone!! Stay strong.

    Hi ya. Well, I'm trying to work my way back to 1200 a day. A lot has changed in the short time I've been gone and my day to day is all out of whack.
    I believe my diary is open for friends. I was doing 10% carbs, 30% protein, and 60% fat. I lost about 50 pounds and have kept most if it off. But, I know I was healthier eating this way and want to get back.
    Honestly, I think the weight loss product that I use is what allowed me to not gain all the weight back, even over the holidays. Not meaning this to be like a sales pitch, but if anyone is interested, it's all natural and is great for reducing cravings. It's called Skinny Body. Check it out at LivingTheFullest.me :-)
