    I am on 1200 a day and it's ok for me. I had planned to increase to 1400 after the first stone but haven't as I'm feeling ok with it. I eat a treat with leftover cals most evenings, it motivates me to be good (I.e. if I eat that now I won't gave enough cals left for a chocolate digestive tonight)

    I'm 5'4" (on tiptoe) and have been on 1200 a day since Christmas. Actually I'm finding it OK, and have learned to love salad! (Never thought I'd say that!) Occasionally I go over, especially if I go to the pub, but I've always been within my calorie goal for the week, so I think that's fine.

    Feel free to add me. :smile:

    Hiya, I'm 29 from the Isle of Man. Currently on 1260cals which I find easy when I do exercise, but do struggle at the weekends, and on non exercise days! Need to be more strict with myself! :)

    I did this for 5 months am 5 ft 6 so feel your pain. It is doable. I was walking each afternoon a mile or two for my treats. Not logging food at present but am now on 1600ish maintain. Breakfast 30g porridge with water almond milk and fruit keeps you full till 1pm so a good start to day about 230 cals. Lunch ryvita protein fruit ,dinner small portions - this is where is really helped I think. My diary will get going again next week and is open to all

    Hi, I'm also 5'2" and on around 1200 calories per day, although I'm 48 - don't know if it's my age but the weight is proving hard to shift, I'm aiming for 1lb a week, although to be fair, I've only been logging 5 days, and exercising for 3, so maybe it's too early to say. My diary is open if anyone is interested. I've not got too much to lose, only about 20lbs, but need to get fit too. Anyone can add me if they like.

    I'm way up North, am 5'4", and whilst I am "allowed" around 1450 at the minute, I'm generally below that after exercise.

    I stayed at 1300 for a while, but couldn't maintain my exercise properly without feeling completely drained afterwards. It's upped to around 1450 now, but I (generally) burn 400-500 calories a day, or that's the plan anyway...

    Hi everyone! :smile: I hope people are still reading this thread!!

    I'm 23, 5'5" and on 1200 calories a day. I lost a stone in January-February of this year with sticking to 1200 calories a day but i've been stuck at the 10 stone mark since then...

    Starting today I'm going to be trying my best to log my food as accruately as possible again and I've started doing exercise classes with my work friends so will be doing about 3 of those a week. Hoping to get to around the 9 stone point whilst also toning up more. Feel free to add me :smile: xx
