When I eat 1200 calories I gain weight. I am 5'3". I don't think it is realistic to think you are going to lose weight on 1200 calories. Keep it below 1000 & you will lose.

I feel the same way, I gained a lb & I felt like I did everything right. Maybe it is water weight. Maybe tomorrow you will lose 3 lbs.

some good ideas, thanks for posting.

That is alot. At least you now know. There are many people who don't have any idea of how many calories are in things. It is hard because sometimes you don't want to be a spoilsport & go along with eating at Fast Food Restaurant, but I guess you have to put your foot down & say no. I bet it wasn't even that good, the food…

very impressive. You should be very proud.

You better believe it. I bought (2) 5 lbs. weights & am trying to strengthen my upper body. MY legs are strong from biking, but I need to get ride of that "jiggle" in my upper arms before summer. I can feel it tightening up. I just got some exercises off the internet. I will be 57 next month.

just do the best you can today, & tomorrow get back on track. The main things is not to beat yourself up & stay off track.

3.49 In Minnesota.

I am 5'3, started at 169.5 on 1/4/12 & am now at 148, my goal is also 135, I am 56 years old. Other than me being way older than you, pretty close to the same stats I would say.

I have been usingit for 30 years. I rub it on my skin, rub it on my dog's nose, as he gets "snow nose" & he also licks it up off the floor. I haven't tried cooking with it, because I used to hear it was a "bad" oil but now I am reconsidering. You can get a huge jar of it a Wal-Mart for much cheaper than anywhere else.

australlian shepherd.

I pay no attention to it.

I just cook 2 meals it is easier than dealing with him.

i totally agree with you.

I haven't had that much luck with Brocolli. I live in Zone 4, when should I plant it? I would love some fresh broccoli too. I have started some Morning Glory seeds inside, they always seem to be going really strong & then they freeze so early in the fall. I will start my Tomatoes in March, I got so many last year & froze…

maybe get a dog that isn't a puppy, that doesn't have tons of energy & try the crate.. We have a fenced backyard & my husband stays home all day. We have an Australian Shepherd & we have a friend who brings her American Eskimo over every day for him to play with. Maybe you can find a set up like that.

No Vikings, no care.

I do't believe it. Believing stuff like that is why we are all in this boat.

It is called Stevia. Truvia is a brand name.

Has anyone tried growing the Stevia Plant? I see they offer it at the spring plant sale, but I am not sure how you turn it into "sugar".

I am also 5'3", the 1200 calories doesn't seem to hard for me. Do you exercise, that way you can eat more.

that is what I find. I am usually 2 lbs. lighter in the morning than before bed.
