Trying to stay below 1200 is so hard. I'm 4'11 so I can't eat much without gaining. I average about 15,000 steps a day on my fitbit. I wanna cry.
Any suggestions on how I can eat more?

    I find that string cheese with some grapes or 2 clementines can help me when I am starving. I don't know if it is psychological or what but that will satisfy me and hold me for quite awhile. Good for you on your weight loss- that is awesome!

    I'm short. I'm 4'11" & 59 years old. I lost 50 lbs. As you get closer to your goal it will be more difficult. Try to focus on protein and low carb to keep your hunger down. Get a food scale so your calories are accurate.

    I know at 4’11 you don’t have much wiggle room with the minimum 1200 women are supposed to have, but what rate of loss do you have entered in and do you eat back any exercise calories?
