    It depends on how much you weigh now and what your BMR is. MFP can help you figure this out...

    results take a few weeks to show. keep it up! give it 2-3 weeks.

    Just a thought..... jumping into an extreme change is not always going to show the immediate results you're looking for. I take a max of 1200 calories and do cardio 5-6 times a week and it took me 6 months to lose 47lbs. I'm 5'7" and started at 250lbs. I also work in a hospital and spend a lot of time on my feet so my base activity level was high to begin with. Not sure where you're starting from.... Just something to compare with :)

    Best of luck with your goal!

    meh i have been eating 1200 calories as well as doing swimming, yoga and walking (i can only do lo-impact at the moment because of an injury) and I have only lost 1kg in a whole month. Take measurements it will make you feel a little better as your body is changing shape

    That's a great tip! We all hate to hear "muscle weighs more than fat" but it's so true!
