Hey all just joined up, entered my last 2 days of food into the system and working from there.

Trying to keep below 1200 calories although the site says 1320

Am wanting to lose about a stone and a half before June 27th! Holiday!

Looking for some support and advice, hope to make some friends on here.

Thanks

Gavin

    Hi

    Someone told me that if you go below 1200 your bodys starvation mechanism will kick in so it wont help you loose weigh. I sit at around 1200 to 1250 a day and have been loosing 3 -4lb every week.

    Try sticking to 1200 but not less see how it goes.

    Oh and good luck
