"Set 1200, I wanted 1000 but my doc's office said no. They offered meds to help me lose weight, I don't want them either. I will be diligent with working out and have my group here for support. By the Grace of God, there go I."

Personally, I don't think anyone needs to cut their calories below 1200, that is reasonable and do able. There are plenty of yummy foods available to stay within that limit if one chooses wisely. No need to go hungry. We do not need to feel we are being punished in the process. That only leads us to dieting failure, which limiting yourself too much, will do! The best way to lose that additional 200 calories is to burn them off! You are on the right track, keep it up! Great job!
