    1200 cals is way too low. Please read this post. It can explain better than I can:

    i am eating 1200 but i dont want to be skinny. I want to be fit. I want to be able to snap skinny if it is annoying me.

    Weird. I posted something just like this a while ago, and got plenty of responses and friend requests. Now I am only getting this crap. OH WELL life goes on

    Hi, I am also on 1200 cal. a day, which is fine with me. I don't see anything wrong with that.

    I thought 1200 calories was ok tbh. I only eat that some days.

    I don't know what would be wrong with 1200 calories? That's not starvation mode especially for someone that weighs that little. MFP calculates a max of 1260 calories for me. As long as I am staying over 1000 I don't ever worry.
    I'm sure that tritepoet doesn't wanna starve herself and what's wrong with wanting to be really skinny? I mean I actually don't really know if 112 is very low (I'm european, still struggling with that stupid system of yours) but if she thinks that that's the weight where she will feel happy and confident with herself, what's the big deal?

    Just be careful. 5'6" and 112 is a BMI of 18.1 which is in the "underweight" category and below the "healthy weight" category.

    I realize it's technically underweight, but just barely. I was fat, so I have extra loose skin that makes me look bigger even though I don't weigh much. 1200 is perfectly fine, it just happens to be the minimum. So thanks for trying to save me or something, but I've got it under control. If you don't want to be my friend, don't add me. If you don't like my post, don't comment.

    1) You really don't have any right to tell me not to comment. It's a free world. We're both adults.
    2) There is a big gray area between "being your friend" and being rude. I was in that gray area. I spoke with concern and wasn't even close to rude.
    3) I agree that 1200 is fine for someone trying to lose weight. In general.
    4) Honey, I know ALL about loose skin. I lost 89 pounds and have birthed and nursed two kids. I could write a book about loose skin, lol.

    LOL. Love your post. Birthed and nursed 2 kids. I have birthed and nursed 4 kids. We could have a battle on the loose skin. Now, to tighten that loose skin! That is what I want to do!

    Funny, how some people think, they have everything figured out and give smart advice.

    5'5 and about 110 lbs wasn't a good look for me. :noway:

    I'm not going to lecture you. I just want to say don't get hung up on a number for your goal.

    Exactly. If I feel unhealthy or feel that I look unhealthy, I will gain some weight. I know what I'm doing, lol.
