    I eat around 1200-1300 calories a day. Although I am about to begin a new workout routine so I might start eating a little bit more :P I'll add you!! :)

    Eating under calories is not healthy and actually can slow down your metabolism. I have done the same thing, and it is actually harder to lose weight rather than easier. So I hope that you start eating a minimum of 1200 a day, because once I started doing that, I started to lose weight. However, when I didn't I gained weight. I am a very active person and exercise 7 days a week for over an hour a day, so I hope this will help. =)

    Hello, I have only been on here for a week and I have already lost 4 pounds. I am so excited! I never knew that a place like this could give you so much motivation. Just a few hints that I have already learned. Open your food diary so that people can see what you are eating. (It is the biggest incentive for me, because my friends on here can see and I want to do good on my eating because of it) I went through others food diaries and got alot of ideas on what to eat. I eat pretty simple and I am also eating 1200 calories per day. Add me as a friend and you can check out my food diary. I learned that Aldi's is my favorite grocery store now. They have alot of Fit and Active brand foods and it is not a big store so I do over buy or buy the wrong types of foods. It is really cheap too!! Do you have an Aldi's near you? Good luck on your journey!!!! Add me as a friend and we will keep each other on track. I want to lose 30 more pounds.

    Hello, I'm new to mfp and just downloaded the app today. I kinda just jumped in not prepared so went over on my daily limit. I've been getting help from my dr since January of this year. I started at 260 and now down too 241. I have two young boys who are picky eaters and a husband that works over night so meal times are pretty random. Im trying too start doing more and getting out of the house more productive. Not many friends and none with kids the same age as mine here where I am so I'm looking forward too meeting new people. Opinions and advice is always welcome and I'm always open for new ideas. I need more motivation and I'm ready to kick it in gear more so for my health and for my family. Feel free too add me :flowerforyou:

    I just started on March 5 and have since lost 22.4 pounds. I am on a 1000 calories a day diet. I also have 2 very picky boys and a very picky husband that also works night.

    Hi all! I'm 25, 5'5"-ish and looking to lose another 10-15 lbs! I try to stay between 1200-1350 even when working out. Should I be eating more after working out? I'm not really seeing any progress so I'm willing to try something new. I've been on p90x and feel a little stronger and know the scale may not move but inches could be lost so I'm hoping for that :) Add me if you'd like a new friend! I'll definitely try to help motivate

    I'm 37- but age is just a number, right?

    I eat 1100- 1300 calories a day and workout everyday.
    I am 5ft 2 and still have about 100 pounds left to lose.

    I can honestly say that I feel so much better on 1200 calories than I ever did eating 4,000 plus calories a day.
    I don't have indigestion anymore, no trouble sleeping, and my depression is easing quite a bit.
    I also make sure and drink 10 glasses of water day, which makes me feel full.
