[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I eat 1200 calories or less in order to lose. No amount of cardio seems to help me lose weight, although I do it for the health benefits. I lift heavy weights for the same reason. [/quote]
You should eat more, your body is messed up with so few calories. How much do you weight?[/quote]
I have tried eating more, that’s how I got to 160 pounds at 5’6.  I was eating a ton of protein trying out the advice to balance macros, but all it did was make me gain and look like an apple.

I think everyone has a different body chemistry, mine only responds to calorie restriction at this point in my life (40 years old with three kids).  It’s actually quite a bit of food, I eat a ton of veggies![/quote]

I am the 5'6" 140lbs PP who maintains at 2500. You either eat more than you realize or you literally do not move all day. [b]There is no way you have to only eat 1200 calories to stay in shape.[/b][/quote]

I am 5', 120 lbs, and 50.  When I was weighing and measuring everything meticulously, I was *maintaining* at 1150 calories.  So yeah, some of us have to eat very little to maintain.  My mom is 4'8", 92 lbs.  She eats WAY less than I do, to maintain.  [/quote]

PP is significantly heavier than you though. I would suspect you are not very generally active too if you have to eat so little to maintain. I literally work out and walk everywhere so that I can eat more.[/quote]

PP is also 6” taller!

I can’t “walk everywhere” because there is no place close enough to walk to.  However, I get something like 12k steps a day.  I get up early to get in a walk, and walk while DD is at her activities.  During the work day, I’m not too active.

I have a same aged friend who is my mom’s size, despite eating pretty much whatever she wants.  She exercises not at all.  [/quote]
