I hover between 1000-1200 per day. I'm very short and inactive though!

I'd love to join as well!

My company does this as well. It has lowered our rates for health insurance DRAMATICALLY and it keeps our employees from taking 100 smoke breaks during the day. It also attracts healthier candidates (we're a tech company so recruit a lot of younger folks). We do a wellness fair annually and participate in weight loss…

You'll also be doing a ton of walking so please just enjoy your trip!

Welcome Back!!! :)

If it fits into your calorie goals, nothing is off limits. What I tend to do is "bank" some extra calories to allow myself little splurges while still losing weight. The problem is that some people reward themselves a bit too much and end up wiping out any deficit they have, which can stall their weight loss, causing…

If YOU want to lose, then lose. If not, don't. It's up to you! I, personally, think you look great. But what a complete stranger on an internet forum thinks of you is not important :) What matters is how YOU feel!

Feel free to add me :)

I've read that it helps with blood glucose levels and metabolism

Food scale! That's the key if you're not using one already

I do it sort of naturally, as I'm generally not hungry in the mornings (except on weekends for some odd reason!). I eat dinner before 7pm every night and don't eat again until lunchtime the next day. I stay within my calorie goals of 1100-1200 per day (I'm VERY short and have a desk job with little to no additional…

Awesome job!

I'm 46, 4'11" and work a sedentary office job as well. I've been at 1100-1200 calories this month and have lost 10lbs. 1200 works for some, not for others. A lot of factors play in.

I'd work some good proteins and fiber in for satiety otherwise you'll be starving by 9 or 10pm!

Welcome! We're all in this together and have the same end goal - losing weight! Whether it's 4lbs or 400! Good luck and feel free to add me. I login every day, track and weigh everything and am a good cheerleader!

I'm a sweets person - I'd eat this whole damn thing!

I work in sweets every day to my calorie count and trust me, when you only have 1200 calories a day, you have to make it work. I buy Dove dark chocolates and Yasso fudge frozen yogurt bars and have one serving a day. I can't cut sweets. I just can't.

I would volunteer at an animal shelter

I get by just fine on 1200 calories per day, but I'm only 5' tall and work a desk job with very little extra exercise (so far). I've been successful in the past losing 115lbs in 18 months on 1200, but I did work my way up by adding exercise to 1500 calories and that was sustainable until my surgery 2 yrs ago and I packed…

Sorry to hear about your fall and injury! Just remember, weight loss is mainly about your food choices and exercise is for overall health/strength. Find your calorie goal and stick with it and the weight will come off regardless of any exercise! Good luck and welcome back!

46 here. Feel free to add me. I login daily, track everything and have an open diary. Would love extra support!

Yasso frozen yogurt bars - most are between 80-120 calories each and completely delish!

Could always use more friends. I have an open diary, I login and track daily - feel free to add me!

Congrats on your loss so far! Feel free to add me if you'd like!

Welcome back! I, too, am back again! Cheers to weight loss!

I can definitely relate. I'm not dieting, per se, just eating less, and yes, it makes me mad sometimes that I can't just eat whatever I want without having to account for it. But then I remember that I have goals to meet and that helps. For me, it's sweets that make me feel good emotionally. So I went out and got a couple…

Starting over again as well. This is my 4th week at it and have lost only 8lbs so far. Would love to make more friends here to help keep me accountable. Feel free to add me!

Welcome!! Feel free to send me a friend request! We are all in this together!

Yasso is super good. My husband and I love their fudge and peanut butter cup bars!

That seems rather judgy! LOL
