But Dichroic is right. 1200 calories is the minimum for a healhy diet. It's the amount given to obese diabetics who need to lose weight FAST. And if you are going to add exercise to the mix, you need those calories. Don't worry. At 1200 calories, the weight will still melt off! Jen:

Is that really low? I wanted to do something to trigger a fast weight loss, and thought that this was it. So maybe I should stick at around 1200? Really? Is that really low?

Further, from what I've read (and seen) it can trigger that starvation reflex in which the body holds on to every little calorie screaming "Mine mine mine mine!!" I understand your reasons for starting off with the liquid diet, but after that you should still see weight loss with a 1200-1500 calorie diet, but your body will also have what it needs.

I agree that you are doing it in a very aware fashion, which is always needed! I am doing my best to lose weight too and have decided this will be the year. I have some undiagnosed endocrine thing that prevents me from being able to lose weight but can't get into the damned doctor until the 22nd of NEXT month, so, until then, am just doing low-carbs (as it probably has something to do with carb metabolism) so said my other doctor. SIGH! Anyway, good job on not killing Alice =) Congrats on your weight loss! I agree that you are doing it in a very aware fashion, which is always needed!

What a close call with Alice! Glad to hear she made it. 28 pounds? Wow and congrats! Eating every few hours is a good way to go.
