Where do I start??

Start by plugging in your stats on mfp and a reasonable rate of loss (1 to 0.5 lb per week) and start logging your food. Make sure you weigh all of your solid foods and measure all of your liquids and enter them accurately. You want to make sure you eat enough. MFP recommends a calorie allotment with your deficit already built in so you don't need to eat below its recommendations. Starting tracking your weight but don't obsess over small variances - once a week is pretty standard around here, in the morning, before eating or drinking and off you go. Measurements at least once a month are also very helpful for people since the scale is a tricky little thing.

Sorry half my message didn't post for sum reason! I'm 5ft 2 11st4lbs. I'm currently eating 1300 cals and doing 30 day shred 6 days a week. I have bout 1 and half stone to lose. Is this about right? I do have 1 cheat meal a week but apart from that quite strict on myself. Thanks.

Is that to lose 0.5 lbs a week? If not, see if you can allow yourself more calories. That cheat meal could undo your deficit depending on the size of it. I think you'd be better off fitting in so called 'naughty' food into your regular diet. Maybe a little bit of chocolate every day for example. That isn't a lot to lose by the way, so don't be in a hurry and give yourself a year to do it. That may seem like a long time but you'll feel a lot better about it.
