I moved from eating 1200 calories a day to 1900 cals/daily just over a month and a half ago. Last week I had my first 1lb loss since making the change. It was tough to watch the weeks roll by with no losses, but from everything I had read I knew that it could take some time for my body to adjust. I'm glad I waited it out,…

You'll feel much less guilty eating pieces of leftover strawberries and plain roasted chicken. :) Good luck!

I eat 1200 calories on the days I don't work out and up to 1500 on the days that I do work out. I never go above 1500 cals/day. I've had great progress so far. I've experimented with eating more cals back after a workout, as well as eating less... but this seems to be my sweet spot for steady weight loss. Hope you find…
