With so many threads on this topic some people do come across as judgemental and im glad you can see my point of view. I think what we all have to remember and realize that everyone on here is different and not to generalize the population that are consuming 1200 calories. I'm not new to this weight loss journey. In 2004 i…

Understood BUT not everyone is the same. I am eating a 1200 calorie diet and losing weight in a healthy manner. It seems everyone eating a 1200 calorie diet is put in the same boat. If someone is not losing weight eating 1200 caloried maybe they should be advised to see a doctor instead of millions of threads coming up…

I set certain goals and dates for myself as i'm sure others have as well. Some may be unrealistic about the time they want to lose weight and some are not. I chose to set a goal for myself and set a date because it helps keep me keep on track and focused BUT I give myself ample time to get to that goal safely without…

Agreed!!!! Why do people on here care so much how many calories others consume?? To each his own and live and let live. Why are there so many busybodies on here?

She is definately not fat. She has a natural womanly figure and I think she looks great. Why is it that anybody bigger than a size 2 or any woman who is shapely considered fat? Marilyn Monroe had a beautiful curvy figure and men drooled over her in the 60's. I saw an interview with Sophia Vegara who had mentioned that…

Good job!!! I love the pics. It definately puts a different perspective on it.

Good luck on your journey. Being there for your son is great inspiration alone. When your having a bad day try to think about him and remind your self of why you are doing this. There is a message board on here with success stories that may be helpful to read too. Just take one day at a time.

I hear ya, like you said live and let live.

I'm sticking my 2 cents in because im on a 1200 calorie diet and im fine. No not everyone is in the same boat as i am but there are too many threads on these boards questioning what others do or what they eat, how much they eat or dont and whether its healthy or not, hence my diary is private. My point is no matter how…

For my height, weight and age im given 1200 a day. I'm not even 5 feet tall and my SW was 158. I used to do weight watchers which works on a point system similiar to calorie counting and was given the same amount of calories to eat per day and i successfully lost weight and was healthy. Unfortunately i gained it back…

I've done Weight Watchers in the past and was successful. I ended up putting the weight back on because I didnt always eat the way they taught me how. If you have never gone its great to get all the tips and the meetings were helpful. I now find i have learned all i can and the meetings are a waste of time for me. I just…

It's a matter of personal preference. I keep mine closed and dont find it difficult at all to be accountable for what i eat or dont eat. I have lost weight successfully before without anyone seeing my food journals and suggesting what i should or shouldnt eat. Keeping my diary closed works for me. Everyone on here is…

I was on weight watchers a few years back and i was allowed 1200 calories then and lost almost 40 lbs. Been doing MFP for 3 weeks and lost 7lbs so far eating 1200 calories. I exercise every now and then and when i do i never eat my work out calories. I'm never hungry and have gone under a few times in calories. It's all…

I take 1/3 cup Betty Crocker triple fude chocolate cake mix (you can use any cake mix you want but it may vary in calories) and mix it with 3TB water in a mug until blended. Microwave for 45 seconds and you have cake for 160 calories. You can add fat free Cool whip to that if u want or any other toppings but then you're…

I toast 1 thomas' 100 calorie english muffin cook an 1/4 cup egg beaters and warm up a slice of canadian bacon in the same pan. I then add that to the english muffin and add a slice of…

I put this into the recipe builder here. I call this mug cake but i use only cake mix and no angel food cake mix. I use 1/3 of a cup chocolate cake mix which i was told was 1/10 of the package and 3TB of water. Mix well in mug and microwave 45 seconds. I top it with fat free cool whip and if i really wanna feel like im…

I did weight watchers and lost 39lbs a few years back. I tried it again a few years ago and it was different. I got tired of hearing at meetings "why are you even here". I'm 4'11 and weighed in at 156 thats why im here. Of course the people who said this to me had more weight to lose but it was annoying. So i tried weight…

I agree and worry about not eating breakfast either until i read your post. I can't handle food early in the morning and eating breakfast makes me more hungry throughout the day. I have my coffee in the morning, lunch in the afternoon and some cottage cheese or yogurt late afternoon and then dinner and a snack. This seemed…
