    Do you guys sometimes go over 1200?

    Depending on what goal you put in MFP, lose 1 lb/week, lose 2 lb/week... You have a calorie deficit built into your 1200 goal. If you go over your calories you could still be at a deficit and still lose.

    Additionally, if you are exercising, you should be eating back at least a portion of your exercise calories which would put you over 1200.

    Finally, not everyone needs to go as low as 1200 in order to lose. If you find it too restrictive, you may want to reassess your rate of loss goal, and up your calories in order to find a level that is sustainable for you.

    I aim for 1,000-1,200 Net calories. I typically eat around 1,300-1,400 calories though. If you're looking for buddies I'm more than willing :)

    I'm at 1210 a day, with a goal of losing two pounds a week. Trying to lose 25 more pounds by June! Always open to friend requests! My friends I used to have on here stopped using the app, so I'm currently the only one I know using it.

    I'm on 1200 a day and am loosing about 0.5-0.7/week. I exercise about 15 hrs/ week and eat an extra 200-300 for my exercise.

    I also invariably end up eating at maintenance 1/week to 10 days.

    My tdee on average is 2000-2200 according to my Garmin. 2200 only happens on major exercise days. (Walking/lifting/golf)

    I have 45 more to loose. It's slow for me but it's ok. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Feel free to add me. My diary is open.

    You can add me. I am not 1200 calories. I am down 19 pounds since August. I also have a March birthday the big 5-0! Hoping to lose 5 more but I'm trying to focus on exercise and meeting my macros over the scale number.

    Just 1 question

    1200 kcal per day, because?

    Because that's what I need to loose 0.7/week. If I exercise purposefully I eat another 200.

    You ask why?
