Hey everyone,
So I'm (relatively) new to MFP. I've been logging for a couple of weeks, but only started chatting on the community today. So....uh....hi!
I'm looking to make friends with other people who are on low calorie diets (from 1200 to 1400 I guess?) so that we can support each other, swap food ideas, and just generally grumble when it gets tough.
So, can we be friends?

I normally stay within that range. I could always use more friends to share support and motivation with.2

Hi, All,
I'm posting for the first time, too. I am doing, and have been doing 1430 calories/day for 11 months here, and have lost 41 lbs! I just love it! Journaling is a proven aid to success for me. I sometimes cannot believe how much food I have had in a 1430 calorie day! I am also constrained by having to follow a "pain free' diet, (no proteins and starch foods together, ever!), so I won't get any more diverticulitis attacks! Two were enough! And they work seamlessly together. And I love the challenge of trying new recipes. Success in losing the weight, finding the amounts satisfying, and including regular gentle exercise (walking, swimming, and yoga), have really sustained my motivation. I am happy to be a positive supportive force here!
I have some more good stuff to share next time! Cheers and Happy Counting!3 -

Hi there! I'm doing 1380 calories a day, though some days are under, some are over. I've been back for 7 weeks and lost 7 pounds. Would love to have more friends to keep me motivated!2

I just started and im budgeted for 1600, but have been in the 1200-1400 range everyday without a problem. The reason for this is that before I started dieting (this is my first ever diet) I never ate breakfast anyway so its easy for me to get the calories for only 2 meals and snacks. I have been having mostly fruit for snacks and eating mostly low calorie meals as well. Last night the app told me I didnt have enough calories and they wouldnt let me print a log unless i had more lol.1

Hello. I've been doing MFP on and off for years. 1350 a day here. If anyone wants to add me, feel free!2

I am at 1547 per day. The doctor wants me on 150 carb diet, so that is what it equals out to. I do well during the week, when I make sure I cook and have my meals planned out. But the weekend is a different story. Went to see a movie and drank a large coke. That was over a 100 carbs right there. Soda and bread are my problem areas.
I did not have much to lose. I have lost 10 pounds in 30 days and now I am down 145 at 5ft 6.0 -
hiya! My MFP goal is 1270 (1.5lb loss per week) and I try to stick as close to that as possible (but often am more in the 1lb loss window lol)0
