Sw: 165
Cw: 160
Height: 5'2''
Goal: 120

Set at 1200 cal. Per day.. just have to be strict with yourself. And I don't eat past eight. Which that's my goal everyday. I LOVE to eat so this is a really big deal to me to be strict on only 1200. I started on Nov 2nd and now weigh 160 just 1 and 3 days later. It feel so good to accomplish that much. I do walk and also do cardio videos on YouTube every now and then.

    Surprised people aren't all over you about losing too fast. Haha, a good portion of that is likely water weight (but fear not I'm down 34 lbs in 6 weeks so I've managed to keep up what you've done for this long, it is possible!)

    Biggest thing is to not get discouraged if it starts to slow down, our bodies are weird. I've lost 8lbs in 3/6 weeks and one week I lost 1lb. Nothing changed in my diet or exercise routine either :P

    Agreed. The water weight often drops off, then things slow down a little. And another thought for the OP, eat when you want. Those 1200 calories are still 1200 calories regardless of when you eat them. If not eating after a certain time helps keep you in check then that's fine... just don't feel like you are nailed down to when you can and can't eat.

    Yes the guy up there is right..water weight is lost at first..then you slow down as you really lose fat…so as the number on the scale stays the same..you will start shrinking and the number on the scale will truly reflect your fat loss.

    I lost five pounds my first week..and have stayed the same..but see that i'm getting smaller as my body catches up with the number.

    New mother? how new? Did you have the baby last week or last month? Are you breastfeeding? If so, watch out with eating too low, it will affect your supply. Just make sure your keeping your energy levels up for your newborn, its hard work as it is. Congrats!

    That water weight whoosh can be very motivating, I know!

    Also, meal timing doesn't matter. As long as you are in an overall deficit you can literally eat in bed, before you fall asleep (that's what I do, sexy I know).
