  • I started where you are but learned 1200 is too low and can ruin your metabolism. Most people can usually eat at a much higher calorie count with exercise and proper macros! It's hard to raise them but trust the process! Its better to start high and lower them as needed. Good luck!!

  • Ditch the scale...hide it and look at it once a month. You just have to start. And stay consistant. Even if you have *kitten* workouts consistency is key in seeing progress. Do something you enjoy. Don't run if you don't like running. Do something active anything. You won't always like it all of course and you will have…

  • Macro goals are different for everyone. And all of the info online can be so overwhelming between salespeople and true info. I would say go with what you have planned and log accurately.

  • I hate to be the one to take this a different direction but if your up for giving a new angle a chance then I have a few suggestions. I am no pro and only know any of this from personal experience and research. So take this info however you would like because we are all different! I feel your calories are maybe too low.…
