Any tips for tomorrow ?

Capsicum?

Build in 3 x 5K runs a week

It will fall off

Capsicum is Pepper in old money LOL , I still call it a pepper here much to my youngest's confusion

Zucchini and Eggplant burger LOL

I will start the running soon

Forget the diet and exercise bollox, just get one leg amputated and you'll be down to your target weight

My head weighs about 4kg I think , last time I weighed it

Forget the strict diet, no need to run.

I lost 8 stone in 2010 lots of walking, and a high protein low fat, low carb diet. And Weight lifting will be a bonus if ya can, it will tone you as we'll as aiding the fat loss.

I went from 23 stone to my 15 stone fighting fit weight in 10 months.

Fooking assholes!
Is that some kind of world record?

High Intense Interval Training.

Be very careful undertaking a restricted calarie diet. They're very good for a quick burst of weight loss, but soon after your body will enter starvation mode and weight loss will not only become difficult, you are likely to gain weight.

1200 calories is likely to be over 100% less then you recommended daily amount. If you deprive your body of the intake it needs to such levels it will began storing fat and preserving it thinking it wont be getting much in the future. It's a simple survival feature that thwarts most people who attempt this diet.

If you like meat, and as another poster has pointed out, go for a higher protein diet and restrcit carbs. It's effective and you feel less hungry due to the ffods you eat. If you can chuck exercise in then you'll raise your mertabolism and burn weight more efficeintly.

But like anything else, diets are horses for courses, that's why there's so many out there. We all thrive under different regimes. I do think, though, that there is a near consensus that "crash" dieting seldom works.
