Hiya :) I was a similar starting weight to you at 11st 2lb and I've lost 2 stone following the 1200 calorie diet.. if you eat right you wont go hungry. I wasnt super strict, I have drunk alcohol and sometimes the calories went up to 1400ish a day but I found that 1200 a day calories was generally plenty and that combined…

The green tea's with different fruits are much nicer than plan green tea. I wasn't a massive fan when I first started drinking it... but persevere with it without any sugar/sweetener and i found the taste to grow on me and i really quite enjoy it now!

I've been at this for 5 months now and have gone from 152lb to 131lb and i did that for my friends wedding which was on Saturday! it's definitely achievable, i counted my calories as per MFP and did about 3-4 cardio sessions a week (45 mins each time) and i'm down to a comfortable UK size 10 :) good luck! :flowerforyou:…

I'm there at the moment, been the same weight for about 4/5 weeks. Found this calculator online which gives you your daily calorie intake for maintenance, fat loss and extreme fat loss. Underneath that there's a '7 day calorie cycle (zig zag)'. website - http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm. This might…

I'm pretty sure that a vodka and diet coke/slimline tonic is about 60 cals.. i'd go for that! i try and do that but i'm a sucker for a glass of rose haha :)

I'm not there yet.. but i definitely intend to keep weighing in weekly just to see how i'm getting on. I would say i wouldn't freak out if it was 2lbs either side of ideal, but anymore and I'd make adjustments to maintain. Cant wait to get there!!

YES.. THIS! The annoying cleaner in work takes great delight in telling me I look 'gaunt'.. I'm 5'2 and 133lbs.. perfectly healthy and far from gaunt. I put it down to jealously.. but its still not great to hear.. oh and she likes to tell me I look 'pasty'.. I'm white and I dont tan.. stop commenting on the way I look!! If…

Thank you.. I think I knew this already but it's nice to have it confirmed. Will take it easy for a week or so and count calories as normal :)

Thank you both.. posts have really helped!

For me it was when i moved into my own place from home.. could make my own food choices (mum was super healthy and strict!) and discovered the joys of wine most nights! thankfully i've managed to overcome this after stepping on the scales and realising i'd gained over a stone since i moved out. was a hard slog but so so…

glad i found this thread.. i told someone my weight today and they thought i was nearly a stone lighter.. mentioned it to my mum and she thought the same! was curious as to how i can weigh 9st11 but people think i'm 9st.. i do go to the gym but its mostly cardio so im not building a great deal of muscle.. im only 5'2 which…

This is my first time reading the forum and 1200 calories per day was what my fitness pal suggested to me when I told it I wanted to go from 152lb to 131lb... have found it very achievable and have been losing (on average) a steady 2lb per week. Fingers crossed it stays this way though!
