I have been eating between 1200 and 2000 calories per day for the last year. I never go below 1200... and if I am on plan, I never go above 2000. There are days I mess up, but I just start over the instant that I mess up. I had a net loss of 63 pounds in one year on this plan. (I would have a bigger loss, but I had some cirumstances over the last four months that took me out of the gym and blew it all up for a while). I'm back on plan now and working out now so I'm hoping to see a change again soon!

Best wishes!

I lost my weight on 1400-1600 calories during the weekdays and 1600-1800 on the weekends, with 5 days/week of exercise. It took a few weeks when I first started for the ball to start rolling, though; I think my body panicked and tried to cling to everything it had!

I started at somewhere between 1700-1800 calories per day. I wasn't tracking to accurately in the beginning, so I'm not 100% sure.

I then went down to 1600 and then to 1500 per day. The last few pounds I took off in between 1400-1500 calories.

My only exercise was (and still is) walking.

My goal is to eat around 1200 calories a day. However, the past few days I have only been taking in around 600-800 calories a day. I seem to not be hungry at all anymore. I think all this diet stuff has made me lose intrest in food. Since I have been put in the ICU for anorexia before I have to sometimes force myself to eat anything to get up to the 1200 calories.

Dawnsky - 600 to 800 calories a day is not enough to fuel your body. All it will do is trash your metablism and make you lose muscle. Please take care of yourself - we want you to be successful. Unless you are under a doctors supervision, 800 calories is not healthy. Force yourself if you have to - but get that 1200 calories in.
