More specifically, what is your daily calorie allowance? What kind of foods do you eat? What kind of exercise are you taking?

My daily calorie allowance is 1200 calories (which is pretty hard on some days), I also try not to eat back the calories burnt by exercise.

I cook meals from scratch every day and try to stay away from processed foods, sugary drinks and alcohol. I don't eat a lot of meat with dinner either, I will have either chicken breast or some low-fat minced beef a couple of days a week, and maybe a vegetarian burger or egg on other days. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and try to drink at least 1.75L water every day (if I drink 2L I'm peeing about every other minute!).

I have always eaten pretty healthily, my main problem is that I eat TOO MUCH. I also love carbs way too much, especially in bread and potato form. I have also eaten way too much chocolate over the past few months!

A standard 1200cal diet day would look something like this:

- Breakfast: natural yoghurt, blueberries and shredded wheat or special K cereal

- Mid-Morning: fruit

- Lunch: 2 slices of seeded wholemeal bread with spread

- Afternoon: either fruit or a mix of tomato/cucumber/grated carrot

- Dinner: varies a lot, but often chicken, potatoes and green beans, asparagus or peas

- Snack: Options hot chocolate made with skimmed milk

Now.. exercise. I hate it. I make myself do it because I don't want to be 'skinny fat', but by god, I hate it. I know it's pathetic, but I really dislike getting sweaty.. I'm also very self-conscious, so the gym is not an option. I mostly do fitness dvd's at home, like Jillian Michaels and pilates, but I'm also doing some body weight exercises and walking. I try to get half an hour of exercise in every day.

So what about you? What's your diet/exercise regime?
