    Hi, I'm at the same height and about the same weight as you. You really don't need to stick to 1200 calories if it's too difficult. 1500 is absolutely fine if you're able to handle it better mentally at that level. You should still lose around a pound a week. so thats about 14lbs before summer!

    Having read some of the reviews on here of people that have used fat binders like xls, they can work but the side effects can also be pretty horrendous. Like leakage and having to keep spare underwear with them all the time.

    If you decide against it, add me as a friend!

    It depends on what you're after, really. If you want to pay to *kitten* yourself or eat low fat to avoid it, XL-S is great. If you want to be healthy and have a normal weight, you are better off upping your calories and eat sensibly, and let the process take the time it needs.
