Who calorie counts? Is this an unreasonably small amount of calories??

[ChocolateRockingHorse]

1,200 ish a day.

The slimming club at my gym has put me on this amount.

Have done Slimming World/Weight watchers before so never actually calorie counted. A week in am finding it more bearable than I thought although I suspect I am counting a big wrongly in places and went a bit over at weekend. However, it's the effort of counting that matters I think; means I am staying aware of what goes in...

Anyone know how many I should be allowing for a cup of tea/coffee with semi skimmed milk and a small amount (half teaspoon) of sugar?

I am doing rosemary conley and the first 2 weeks of that are 1200 calories and now I am allowed 1370 , so think its ok.

no that's normal if you want to lose approx 2 lb a week.

I did calory counting last year and it was ve successful.

Oh 2lb a week, that sounds nice

Calorie requirements are depending on how much weight you still have to loose . I think the 1,200 is when you have less than 1stone to loose.

I also did Rosemary Conley for a while and as widgypog starter weeks were 1200 and then I was allowed 1370 as I was 10.5stn

Hi can i but in? How do you know the calories in everything ie an apple etc? Im doing slimming world but fear my portions are too big!!

You don't need to worry about calories if you're doing SW.. but 70-110 calories in an apple beleive it or not

according to rosemary apples are 50..why not get a calorie book from bookshop. They do handy size pocket ones so you can carry in your bag.

Oh. Was going from a photocopies list the gym gave me. Let's hope they are over estimated ALL the calories then and the weight should drop off me!

Thankyou. I was thinking that I might calorie count for a while rather than do slimming world. Just for a break really.
