Cookiemonster- I'll probably stay at 1200 for awhile. If that doesn't work maybe go up to 1300 if I don't see a pound lost by THEN (I'll be pissed haha) but then I'll go up to 1400 and so on....who knows! I'm just hoping my body is holding onto water or something and I'll measure out to be smaller...we'll see! Let me know if anything changes for you and you find out what works
