  • I am on the 1200 calorie diet and work out 5-6 days a week earning and extra 500 to 800 calories, depending on what I do. I DO NOT eat the extra calorie.

I'm on a 1200 calorie a day diet, I usually don't use all those calories, if I have 100 left from my normal calorie count I add it to my…

  • I just joined today! It does help to have others on the same road with you. I started on my goal a month ago and have lost 6 pounds so far. I just started amping up my exercising. I go to Bootcamp (it is what the name implies!) 5 times a week for an hour each day. I also try to walk at least 2 hours a day. I have ten…
