Results with 1200 Calories

Keep going you're not old! We age like fine wine.:happy:

I do fine with a net of around 1200. It's not the magic number for weight loss, but it's not the demon that some people make it out to be either. Try it and see how it works for you.

I've been on here for about 18 months, I haven't always stuck to 1200, I've also done 1400-1500, usually after getting off track for a while as a way to ease myself back into it (and there have been periods where I was eating maintenance/above maintenance also).

Considering that I'm sedentary to lightly active, a net of 1200 is only about a 500-600 calorie deficit for me, so eating more slows my progress. I've been sticking to it for the last 2 months pretty consistently and finally making consistent progress after a long plateau (plateau was a result of inconsistency and too many calories, not too little).

On 1200 I wanted to kill everyone, So hungry all the time. I am way too active for such a low calorie intake. But I realize that what doesn't work for one, can work for another. I would rather lose slower and feel human and not want to kill everyone so I will eat back workout calories here and there. I like happy, healthy me. But the main thing here is do whatever works best for you. Good luck on the journey!
