Thank You for posting what so many others have been thinking! I also have PCOS and have been able to lose weight slowly on 1200 calories (which by the way is what MFP set my target at). I am slightly under 5ft so that also could contribute to my low calorie allowance. There are some days I try to eat 1300-1400 just so my…

I'm in! I gained back 10 lbs in the last 2 months. Most likely from all the wine and snack foods during the summer. The only liquid calories I will be drinking is the few I get from Crystal Light. I weigh in on Saturdays so my dates will also be a little off. Sept 29th weight - 169

Right now I try to advoid certain foods that I don't trust myself to control the portion. Like pizza...it's my weakness. There is no way I could sit down and eat 1 piece so I don't eat it. I don't plan on cutting it out forever, just until I get a better handle on my cravings. I guess it all depends on how strong you are.…

I am 4'9 and my I'm only supposed to eat 1210 calories to lose 1lb a week. I think it may be a height thing. I also am sedentary because of my desk job.

I love LUNA bars! I don't know if they are designed to be meal replacement bars or snack bars but I use them as both. They use 70% organic ingredients, have lots of protein, are low glycemic, and most are under 200 calories.....oh, and they taste great!
