Hi there
I was wondering if everyone does 1200 per day? I am 12st 4 and was thinking of trying 1400 as I find 1200 a bit restrictive?

    What did you set your loss per week at? I would lower it to a pound a week and work with what it says there. Personally, anything below 1500 calories makes me hangry.

    At your current weight you don't need to be eating as low as 1200, if you're finding you can work with 1400 go for it.

    Even if i say 1lb it says 1200 strange - but I have done WW before and definitely was oi more than 1200 and lost more than 1lb every week - do you still loose on 1500?

    How tall are you? If you're fairly short, that's understandable that your calories didn't change. I'm 5'6 and at my lowest I was still about 12-13 pounds heavier than you (185). I've gained back, so right now I'm eating about 2000 calories.
