Do you have to exercise ?

If I just eat my 1200 calories a day and don't exercise will I still lose weight ? I will be having surgery soon and won't be able to exercise for a few months.

  • Yup you will be able to. Eat a calorie deficit and you will lose weight :]
    hope your surgery goes well!
  • I have a medical condition that prevents me exercising, but I have lost 14 pounds so far just eating my 1200. It's possible! Good luck!

    When I first stated in May, I did 1200 calories a day. I lost 32lbs in 4 months by just eating those calories. I eat more now because I met my goal weight and I do exercise 5 nights a week because I'd like to get tone now that I've lost the weight.

    Good luck on surgery! Don't give up if you don't see results or don't lose as much weight one week as the next. I hit road blocks during my time but it all paid off in the end :)
  • I'd like to point out that if you can excercise, you should. It'll be better for your body than just dieting, and you'll look much better at your ideal weight.
