1200

That's how many calories my RE wants me to eat everyday. I was previously following a WW plan that equaled out to about 1600cal/day. I wasn't really seeing results like I wanted to so I knew something had to change.
So I asked my new RE at my consultation what she thought, and that's what she told me ... 1200cal/day. I'm sure she knows what she's talking about, but I work out hard 4 days/week and burn approx 600cal in those workouts. Stupid PCOS. When I was on bcp's I would eat 1800ish/cal and work out the same as I am now and lose 2-3lb/week. I'm in a foul mood right now!!
Either way, I know I can do it, and I started yesterday. It still sucks! Oh AND she's putting me back on Metformin as soon as my old RE gets my most recent b/w records to her (this week, probably).

Re: 1200
That is exactly what my nutritionist told me I would have to eat too last week. It does suck!
It's hard to plan a low carb, high protein week and stay within 1200 calories. Good luck to you!!!
ETA: I have a WW blog I follow and have a list of "free" foods if you want me to send it to you.

Um.... the friend request for FB might take a while. I think I broke the laptop and desktop computer at home.
M was not happy and we still haven't fixed or bought one. I will e-mail that information though.
