    Hey there! My calorie range is also 1200, and for me, (some one who is not used to regulating my portions) it is hard. I have found eating lots of healthy foods that do not have that many calories,gives me more food and makes it easy to stay under my calorie range. & Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I haven't figured out what adding Friends means but by all means add me! I'm at the end of week two on 1200 calories and I do feel really good and have lost five pounds (or close to it). But I have to say I'm hungry a lot and think about food all the time. I don't want to do that. I need to find low-calorie foods or drinks that fill me up. I could use a little encouragement, I have a bad habit of falling off the wagon, so to speak.

    PS - I'm nervous about going out to dinner tonight with my husband. Whatever I get, I'm going to ask them to go very light on oil. And get a salad along with it!

    Also, don't pay attention to these people that say 1200 isn't enough. Don't go too far under and eat your exercise calories, but these people don't seem to understand that 1200 is fine for short girls. My BMR is right around 1300, so losing weight would be hard if my goal was more than 1200.

    I totally agree. Usually, the smaller/shorter you are, the less you can eat. I'm tired of people say that I'm starving myself and that I need to eat more to lose weight. It just isn't true for everyone. Believe me, if I could eat more I would! I love to eat! If I eat much over 1,200, I gain weight. It is a pretty narrow range between weight loss and weight gain for me.

    Please add me! I am on 1200 cals a day.. I am 5'4", medium build, right now I am about 143 and would like to be 135-130.I do a modified version of P90x (only 20 min a day of lifting) and I don't log my exercise as I don't burn a ton of cals. I am just interesting in muscle building. Please also look at my diary and keep me honest!! :D

    I'm in the 1200 range and in need of friends too. I find that if I don't work out, I sometimes have a hard time staying under that but I usually don't go over 1400. Ideally, I'd like to lose about 15 lbs, I don't think I'm built to be much less than that. Also, I'm 5'3".

    I'm currently doing 1200 calories a day as well. My mom told me about eating mini meals so now I eat 5-6 200 calorie mini meals a day and it seems to be working pretty well.

    I'm confused. You use one number (1200) and range in the same sentence.....1200 isn't a range. A range is usually a value in between two numbers.

    Hey guys! I'm 5'3" and I'm doing 1200/day, too. It's tough, but I know it will work if I stick to it! I can't wait to not feel hungry, though.. that's the worst part. Aiming for 30 lbs. Good luck everyone!

    Please start eating more than 1200 calories!!! It's WAY too little!!! Can we say starvation mode?!

    Sure. STARVATION MODE.... does not exist the way this website says it does! It's basically there so MFP doesn't get sued. Do a little research on your own before you start spouting off myths as fact.

    OP, I net about 1200 a day, feel free to add me or have a look through my diary. I promise you I'm not starving.
