Hello everyone, first I'd like to thank my friend for introducing me to the site. Second, thanks thandie for the food suggestions. I went out and purchased what I needed today so I can get started right away.

I had searched the internet and seemed that 1200 calories was a good number to go with for weight loss. Of course that was last year and 80 pounds ago! In a day, I feel like I am full and eating plenty, but when I read the above list.. kinda sounds like I am starving lol. I really appreciate any help you ladies can give me. I'm extremely serious about losing the rest of this weight. I am working out, and I have a routine that I follow daily at the gym.

1200 calories would be a good place to start if say you were a 120 lbs. Generally good cutting calories would be 10-12 times bodyweight for calories however with the weight you started at might have been better at about 2200-2500 calories seems like a lot but at least you could have cut the calories down as you progressed. Now what you need to do is actually add calories in bring them up closer to 1800 cause with the activity your doing and 1200 calories you have actually put your body into starvation mode and it is hanging on to the fat.
