MFP Nutrional Goals - help!
I used a nutrional calculator online to see if I'm eating the right amount of calories, protein, fat, etc because at 200lbs I feel 1200 calories/day is small even though I don't feel like I'm starving at the end of the day.

Okay so I don't have pictures from my heaviest weight, but I found one from last summer and one from last winter that I think are close enough so I decided to use them.

Greetings from LA County!
Hello Everyone! After reaching my heaviest (somewhere between 200-210 lbs) I knew I needed to lose weight. It wasn't until I saw myself in pictures with my friends that it really hit how much of a cow I looked next to them. I envy their small figures, and that's how I got my motivation.
