I have been a member for almost a year. I have lost 30 lbs. without exercise. I was on1200 cal a day but have since changed to 1400 to maintain. If you stick to your goals and try not to go over you should have no trouble loosing all you want.
Good luck and Welcome.

I feel exactly the same way. I keep wondering if somehow this could be off. I do about 1200 as well & try to fit a workout in 5 days a week, but not long & hard ones. I haven't really lost anything in a month. I am wondering if those off days like holidays where I am up to like 1500 cal is sabotaging everything. I see people working out long & hard burning a lot of calories & wondering if this is my problem but I see dis06 saying he or she lost 30 lbs without exercising.

stick to your good eating... plenty meat & veg (try adding oily fish & almonds/cashew nuts 6-10 nuts couple of times a day) try either keeping your heart rate to 60-70% of maximum ( so.... 200 - age divided by 100 x 60 then same x 70 to get your zone or use a calculator on google im 32 mines 115-130 ish lol) or do interval training so sprint for 30sec - 1min then let your heart rate drop (2mins slow) and repeat. minimum of 20mins exercise. avoid processed sugar !!!!!!!!!! also eat every 2-3 hours keeps your body in a high fat burn state.. hope this helps !!!!!!!!!
