I started my diet 4 weeks ago and also started walking at least 10,000 steps a day. So far I have lost 10lb and am really pleased. I'm counting my calories and try to stay at around 1000 a day but always give myself one day a week off. I'm starting to feel a lot fitter and am pleased to say my jeans are starting to feel a bit looser too.
Really pleased so far: I started my diet... - Weight Loss Support
Really pleased so far
Hi and welcome, Mellina
I have to tell you that you're consuming way too few calories and will be setting yourself up for lot of problems in the future. Read this for further information

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.
Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.
Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.

We also run a Daily Diary, where we share our meal and exercise plans for the day. It's a great place to get ideas and to keep us focused. The link can also be found in Events.

Thank you for that, I didn't know I could consume more than 1000 and still lose weight as I was following what somebody told me. The information has been a great help.
10lbs in four weeks that's fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
