    Sorry, but unless you plan on eating 1200 cals for the rest of your life, I would not do this.
    While losing weight is as simple as cals in, cals out.. our bodies are not always cooperative.

    Please go to this link:
    http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

    Fill everything out and set yourself as Moderate Activity, and lose fat at 20%
    Then scroll down and eat what it tells you that you need to reach your goal.

    in theory you can lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks if you set your calorie goal at "2 pounds per week" - but I think 1 lb a week is safer and saner. You didn't gain 10 pounds in 5 weeks - so it should come off slowly if you want it to stay off.

    The other point to consider is that every human body is different - you may lose 3 pounds one week, nothing the next 2 weeks, but lose inches instead. Or, you might stay at a plateau for a long time, then drop several pounds in a few days. There are no guarantees!

    Body measurement is a much better way to track your acheivement - this forum is full of people who have lost clothing sizes and inches, while seeing the scale remain the same

    Wishing you every success as you change your life :-)
