1200cal/day really works.

I can't believe you have that many people hating on your weight loss. Y'all act like she gain 4 pounds.

Thank you. And I can see you've lost 165lbs. WAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Thanks, I'm trying.

Ugh. And when she realises next week that she can't continue losing 4 lbs a week... or that her metabolism eventually crashes... or that this is not a sustainable lifestyle... I'm sure yall will be there still cheering her on.

Why not just tell the truth and let the cards fall as they will?

Congrats on losing 3 lbs of water and 1 lb of fat.

I just plugged your numbers into the TDEE calculator and with 1 day a week of exercise your TDEE would be a little over 2000 calories and if you took 20% from that for weight loss then you should be losing eating 1600 calories. Are you weighing and measuring all your food and logging???

Yes am doing that. Every little thing i eat, i log on. I made sure i didnt go over 1200. Don't exercise partly because of the weather here in the UK and also coz there would be no one to look after my babies. If ur keen on trying eating 1200cal, please do. Don't want to sound cliche but it does work. I ate salads, chicken and water most of the time. Drank a cup of coffee a day too. I was surprised myself when i lost 4lbs. Because I had not managed to lose that much in a week before.

You know you can workout INSIDE right? Zumba, pilates, exercise bike, treadmill, 30 day shred.... there are billions of YouTube videos... Fitness blender, Blogilaties.

I'm sure your 18 month olds ARE running around, unless they can't walk at all...ten they are active & you should be just as active. I remember 1200 cal, it was ok... but now I workout INSIDE like crazy every day even with a back injury & can eat as much as I like. (Yeah I really can) and I've kept my weight off for over a year now. I just finished a loaf of fruit bread.... a whole loaf. I also had about 4 coffee today (no sugar cause I dont take it in it) and I'm about to have dinner with some full fat cheese & greek yoghurt.

I doubt I'll be under 2000 cals today. I wont put on weight, but I'm sure not making an excuse to NOT workout & NOT eat properly.

I don't have to expatiate my reason for not exercising but am sure as hell eating properly. So the "Not eat properly" was just you trying to be what? rude?

You reason for not exercising was winter, I gave you proof you can still do it in winter. Your excuse was nobody to look after your twins, those same ideas means you dont need to have someone look after them.

You do realize that if you workout you get to eat more & you will actually burn more the stronger you get & therefore lose weight easier. That way when you do up you calories (and you will) you won't end up putting on weight.

You are not eating properly if you think 1200 is some magical number that you can sustain for life. Yep for life.

There is nothing wrong with sticking to low calorie intake for only one week. People do this stuff all the time to bust through plateaus..my dad always told me......OPINIONS ARE LIKE *kitten*....NOBODY LIKES THEM.

I want to encourage you in great job in thinking about doing something different to help jump start your weightloss!!! Your a beautiful momma !

OP, congrads on your 4lb drop . The problem a lot of people have is that after one week most of your loss is going to be water rater than fat and weight loss usually drops off very quickly after the first week. you may be doing exercise without increasing it as well. I think people are concerned that others may read your advice and think its the way to go when for most people it isn't .

If you want to have a read of this thread (and the off shoots). If you don't want to then store the link somewhere so you can if you need it sometime later.

Good luck though, hope you get to where you want to be either by using your method or following a different path.

:noway: I beg to differ.

Also, i thought the saying ended with "...everybody has one, and most of them stink." at least that's how my daddy ended it.

Not when she's giving the advice that 1200 is "the way to go & everyone must try it". Yep she lost 5lb, great. But when she goes back to eating like a normal person she will find .... nevermind.

Jealous BWHAHAHAHAHA that is funny. I have lost mine eating MORE than 1200 and working my butt off. And 4 lbs in a week is SO NOT right. Like said, probably water weight, because any other way is NOT healthy.

What are you going to do when you are done "dieting" and need to go on maintenance? I'm glad you enjoy recreational dieting. It's fun and the cool thing (I know from experience of losing more than 50 pounds six or seven times), is that each time you do the 1200 calorie approach, you get tons of compliments on your quick weight loss. Even better, you get to get the same sense of accomplishment every few years because you have to go on a diet again.

1200 calories is like....breakfast.

Am not in a haste to lose the weight. Am on 1200 because of my lifestyle. when I start exercising, i will up my calories.
