Any success stories from a 1200 calories a day diet?

Yes. Actually when I was 15 I was 204 lbs and lost all my weight down to 134 lbs within a year. That was on light excerise and 1200 calories. Then I got really fat when I was pregnant with my son and went up to 218. I went on the same diet and excerise plan and lost it down to 153. I'm still working on losing the rest.

I went from 210 to 165 just from eating 1200-1350 cals a day. I still eat that little when I have a lazy day, but I prefer to go for runs or long walks most days so I can eat more! hehehe.

Hi I went from 172 to 129 over 9month on 1200. I usually ate back my exercise calories otherwise I was just hungry all the time. There were days when I slipped but the important thing is just start again the next day, I used the week calorie intake just to keep focused. I exercised 3-4 x week. I was 46years old at the time and recovering from ovarian cancer & chemo at the time.

My problem was I didn't maintain the exercise regime or maintenance diet and have put 25lb on over past year - so back on the treadmill and this time I will be wiser with maintenance

Good luck with your journey , feel free to add me if you are looking for biddies sound same

In August, I was 183 lbs. This is when I started my 1200 calorie with exercise at least 3x a week. I am now 145 lbs and during the course of things, I went completely went off the 1200 cal limit once a week (Beer, pizza, ribs). I am working on maintenance and adding muscle now. It worked for me big time.

I'm on 1200 a day, I've lost 16lbs since the start of January, 12lb to go.

Yeah I lost 30lbs doing that, I'm more active now and could not really cope on that much food but it's a good starting point I guess

I've been on the 1,200 since I started January 5th. When I started I was in bad shape, though only 180lbs. I don't exercise. But I started this and committed to 3-4 30minute workouts a week. And I'm down 13lbs and 15 inches. I didn't change my diet much, other than staying within my Calories for the day. I still eat chips and sweets on occasion. But I've also found recipes for healthy treats that feed that craving without killing my calorie count for the day.

I started the 1200 calorie since Jan 9 and been lifting weights and cardio 6 days a week. I feel a lot lighter and clothes fits better. So far I've lost 19 lbs.. 209 and now 190..my goal is 177 or even better.. 150.

rldeclercq4 · March 2016

I've been on 1200 cals since January and have gone from 367 to 326. I'm exercising quite hard though 6-7 days a weeks. Cardio and weights an hour a day. (For context I'm a 29 yo male, on diet plan monitored by md).

1200 has worked for me since 1 Nov 15. Lost 33 lbs. About another =/- 15 to go. Weight loss has slowed though so I am trying to further increase the deficit with exercise.

middlehaitch · March 2016

I lost eating 1200 cals 6 years ago. 130lbs -103lbs and kept it off.
Being small, 5'1 and older, 54yo when I started,1200 cal plus 55-75% of my exercise calories was an appropriate calorie goal.

Cheers, h.

I started on a 1200 calorie diet on January 12th and have lost 19lbs since that date. Only 7 more lbs to go to reach my ideal body weight goal.

I feel so much better!

trjjoy · March 2016

I have lost 11.5kg since the beginning of December. I started off on 1270 calories a day excluding exercise.

aft85 · March 2016

i've only lost a few kilos so far, but i've lost them rather than gained them (except this week, cos i was bad)

aft85 · March 2016

should probably add, i started in january, but didn't buy a scale until february, so i've lost 5-6 kilos since mid-february
