Hi all

I'm new to Mfp and have never calorie counted before but have followed weight watchers the past 4-5 years and did loose 5st and got to my goal weight - although the last year and half I have slacked and have re gained 2st 10lbs which I am not proud of.

I am getting married in 6 months and have my first dress fitting in 12 weeks time eeekkkk - I am desperate to be back into a uk size 10 again (I'm a 14 at the mo) and I want to stay there for good.

Should I be sticking to 1200 calories a day? Also I've entered myself for a 10 mile run in 11 weeks time so will start training for that this weekend - that should help the weight loss and burn some cals!

Lou xx

    Stick to 1200 calories but if you exercise, then eat a little more! Don't ignore this as you'll only exhaust yourself by not eating enough. Also, I'd recommend shifting your calories to the firts two thirds of the day (so have a big breakfast and lunch but light dinner)...Good luck!
