This week’s question is as follows:
Question: ok so if i eat 1200 calories a day (ex. complex carbs, protein, veggies) and exercise 5 days a week (ex. 20 min pilates 2x a day and an hour of walking) will i be able to lose 12 pounds in 3 weeks? ordo i need to exercise more during the day? i really want to tone up and look good in a bathing suit by june 27. im 5′5 a girl and weigh 146 pounds.
Answer: Yes.
Make sure you drink enough water, since you will be putting a strain on your system, especially in Summer, (at least eight 8oz glasses, but 10 would be better).

Also try to balance out those 1200 calories to include a snack or two, and try to have the most calorie meal for lunch, not dinner.
MOST importantly, don’t get too obsessed with it, if you don’t lose the full 12 pounds. 10 will still be a major accomplishment, and 2 pounds won’t make that big a difference in how good you will look.
Best of success to you!
