Victoza users?

Victoza..my miracle drug
About a year ago I weighed my highest at 173, and was diagnosed diabetic. I tried everything to lose weight including low carb, paleo, low fat, nutri system, etc...I finally went to an endocrinologist who specialized in weight loss.

need friends who stay around 1200 cals/day
I love all my FP friends but find most of them have a goal higher than 1200 cals/day. I have a sedentary job and this is where I need to be on most days. I would love to see how more people maintain this low calorie lifestyle in a healthy way! Add me if you would like! :)
