Ok I am 21 i weigh 144 my height is 5'2 and my goal weight is 130.(for now)..So if i stick with this plan of 1200 cals a day and burning 400 cals a week then how long should it take me to loose 14 pounds? Please share experiences:flowerforyou:

    Your youth is definitely in your favor.....but everyone is different so its hard to say "how long".

    good luck with your goals!! :drinker:

    We have similar body sizes and when I was younger it took 6 months from 155 to 117. Exercise helps a lot with speeding up you metabolism as well - You can probably do it in 3-4 months. :flowerforyou:
