I myself am on a 1200 calorie diet. My dietitian recommended that. I weigh 185 lbs. I need to be at 115-155. I lost 35 so far. Just need more support0

I'm at 1200 net, 5'5" tall, age 59, SW (4/17/15, pre-MFP) 183, CW 150, UGW 130ish. Set at one pound/week (was 2 when I started), plan to go to 0.5 when I hit 145. Eating 1400-1500 most days after exercise. Ovo-lacto vegetarian since 1974.
Eating mostly whole foods, mostly at home.
A few key strategies ( besides being able/willing to cook ;-) ): Don't eat the pasta, eat what I would've put on it. Don't eat the sandwich, eat what I would've put on it. Identify calorie-efficient protein foods I enjoy, including snack items. Weigh nearly every food (hassle first few days, then easy). Eat plenty of non-starchy veg. Satisfy sweet cravings with fresh/frozen fruit (no added sugar). Be active to earn more food. Drink ridiculous amounts of water.0 -
I'm on a 1200 calorie diet but I'm on the optifast diet through a dietician and hospital. I started at 250 lbs and have lost 11 lbs in 4 weeks. I'm still working at adjusting my diet. I ate way to many carbs. I also didn't drink any water. It's been a huge commitment for me.0
