At my height and frame size, 1200 calories a day is all I need to *maintain* 
weight. It's really hard for me to cut calories enough to actually lose 
weight.

In my case, though, the culprit appears to be largely my beloved salty 
crunchies and starch. We've cut out all white food in our house, and I 
dropped five pounds in a week. Can't be a coincidence...
