[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how tall are you? Starting weight? How fast are you trying to lose?

I maintained 1200 for a good while using LoseIt, and gained it all right back when I tried to enter a maintenance phase. I switched to a flexible plan in July where I eat 1500 during the week and 1800 Fri/Sat. It is so much easier and I'm consistently losing .5-1lb/week w/o being hungry.[/quote]

Thanks, I am 5’6” and currently weigh 150, trying to get back to 140 since 135 is never happening again.

I have done a lot of keto in the past but I need to stay away from too much meat so thought I would try something different, but I still eat very few carbs and I also do IF so I only eat between 12-6pm. Lose It recommended 1200 calories for 1-2 lbs per week. But maybe I do need to bump it up a bit. Once I get to 140 I plan to add more back to help maintain.[/quote]

God I’m so angry that it somehow became the new norm that we’re “supposed” to lose 1-2 pounds a week. It’s so unrealistic, unsustainable, and irresponsible for any program to promote this. 2 pounds a week is insane unless you are like, a 300 pound man. When you’re barely even overweight and trying to lose 10 pounds, you should be thinking more like 1, maaaaybe 2 pounds a MONTH.
