And already ate most of my calories!
I'm at about 1000 and my daily allowance is 1200.
And I plan on going out drinking tonight...
I guess I've gotta dance the night away haha.
In addition, does 1200 sound like an okay number of calories per day?
5'6" 143 lbs.

    You've been here since July and can't answer that question?

    i usually have this problem during the weekends too...my calories are 1270 and even when i watch my calories closely, after i throw a few cocktails in there im not usually in a way to make the goal, tthat low calorie count requires pretty clean living not usually room for alcohol in the mix, but hey i do the same thing as you. the best advice is to plan, throw in an extra workout even if its the day before or after, and remember going over by 300 claories is a lot better than going over by 1300 (although ive done that too).

    I would say just make sure to dance a lot and opt for low-cal drinks. I'm 5'8" and 142, my daily allowance is somewhere around 1340. If you're having trouble maintaining 1200/day, I would increase. You don't have a lot of weight to lose, and you're in the healthy BMI range, so your weightloss should be set at around 1-.5/pounds a week, in my opinion and from what I've read. Personally, I'd rather be able to consistently stay in the range of 1500/day than to aim for 1200/day and be hungry and miserable.

    Thanks everyone :)
    Except for the person with Rocco as their picture because what's the point of posting a reply that isn't a reply?
