I just started dieting again today. It has been two years and last time I went on a 1200 calorie diet I lost 50 pounds and went down to a size 12 160 pounds. I need to lose weight to feel good about myself, and I don't want to feel like I'm in this alone. If anyone would like to friend me please do. I'm still new to this sight and trying to figure it out

I am also on a 1200 calorie diet. It can get very difficult to find motivation each day. Please feel free to add me as a friend.0

Previously whenever I started "dieting" I failed. this time I changed my mindset and decided to change my lifestyle to a healthier one. Can I ask why are you starting at 1200 cals a day? it's very restrictive and in my opinion very hard to maintain in the long term.
My starting weight was 177lbs, I've kept to 1500 cals a day most days and I exercise but I usually eat some or all of these cals back.
As of the start of november I'd lost 38 pounds and due to festivities am happy to stay this weight until January when I will try to shift the last 10 lbs.
Happy for you to add me as a friend. My diary is open so you can see what I'm talking about.
I guess my point is set long term and short term goals and realise what you want. Don't dread the diet, change your life.0 -
The struggle is real. Anyone please feel free to add me as a friend. Doug in Ohio.0
