    One example of a week (they are always different) Mon/1500, Tues/1200, Wed/1800, Th/1500, Fri/1350, sat/1650, Sun/1500.

    I'm interested in this, do you need to use a set programme or can you just DIY it? Some days I don't eat exercise cals back but others I go over by quite a bit? Is this similar to 'zig zagging' or am I just doing it all wrong? Thanks :smile:

    Just wanting to congratulate you on your progress--however with working our you could eat you calories burned and still lose weight--a greater proportion of which will be fat. Netting under 1200 at your current size is really not necessary. I know it's tempting but you'll likely plateau and have to lower your calories even further which would be incredibly unhealthy. At your size 2 pounds a week is a little much anyhow. I wish you the best

    Hi there fellow shorties!

    1. how tall are you? 5'2"
    2. how old are you? 29
    3. how much do you weigh? 124
    4. how many gross calories do you eat? have reset my MFP to 1000 per day as for my size i think 1200 is more of a maintenence
    5. how many net calories do you eat? i try to eat between 800-1000 a day
    6. are you still losing? (if so, how fast) i lost 3 lbs week before last but had a bad week last week where i couldn't exercise so only lost 1lb
    7. what's your goal weight? it was 125 but have now changed it to 120, i'm going more by measurements though to be honest

    If you're losing 3 pounds on 1000 then maintenance is more like 2500 a day since it would require a 1500 daily deficit to lose 3 pounds a week. 1200 is definitely not maintenance though. Even if you lost 1 pound a week maintenance would still be at least 1500z

    IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE HELP--IS RECEPTIVE TO A PLAN THAT WORKS, THEN PLEASE MESSAGE ME. I DON'T WANT TO WRITE OUT A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON EATING TOO LITTLE SO IF YOU WANT HELP DEVISING A PLAN I'D LOVE TO HELP YOU!

    I will try to spell it out for you as clearly as possible-- undereating --> muscle loss --> metabolic slowdown --> plateau --> further calorie restriction --> binging --> weight gain/no weight loss/hunger /irritability

    Well, I put my info in, but now I'm confused...was this thread started for informational purposes....or just to point out people who are eating under 1200? After reading through the entire thread, it sounds more like the latter... :/

    I dont think informational purposes and pointing out those people is mutually exclusive. Clearly you're someone who is subscribing to the 1200 mindset and take offense.

    No need really--if you dont like my advice then ignore it, move on, or don't post--you have the power to remove yourself from the conversation.
